Temperature to res ratios?

[bl4kgoat]

Hello! Quick question, what are ideal temperatures for different resources? I am aware that colder planets mean higher gas yield, but what about metal and crystal? What would ideal temps be for these resources?

Hello! In the game, temperature only affects production of Gas, and not Metal or Crystal. Most players find having 1 really cold "gas planet" and the rest "score planets" to be the most ideal, with some relying solely on alts for major gas production and having all planets be score planets. Myself, I prefer all planets to be 220+ radius to get the most out of my mines. Having an alt with a few gas planets more than makes up the difference.

Here is a little table I created to help determine most ideal planet mine set up for the gas plant. Feel free to use it as you see fit. The gas production numbers are shown for a planet at 30C, which I'd say is pretty average for score planets. A fusion reactor was not intended to be used on any of these, but some may need a lvl or two to compensate, but not enough that detracts in a significant way from the production numbers.

It is important to note that it is almost always beneficial to build the fusion reactor to increase the gas plant level. It is not beneficial to build to the fusion reactor to assist with metal/crystal mines, in terms of overall gas production. The amount of gas the fusion reactor consumes is also dependent on temperature. Fusion reactors on colder planets consume more gas than hotter planets.
