700% Research bonus

Yes, i had a 700% manufacturing tile on my homeworld before.

I've multiple of them...

The 700% manufacturing bonus, called the Precursor Mine, is fairly common.
The 700% research bonus, called the Precursor Library, is non-existent.

The Precursor Library will never show up because the code for them has been removed.
Unless they have written it back in with 1.2, that is.

What version are you running? And if you really have a Precursor Library you should post a screen shot of it.
Because if you don't, no one will believe you.

They have written it back in 1.2. It was in the list of changes.

TOO COOL!!!

i can post a screenshot if you want

how do you do screenshots?

Usually it's simply the Print Screen button on your keyboard and then alt tab out of game to paste in your favourite photo editing program(paint, compupic etc).

yeah i did that but i couldnt make it work on the forum

i had a 700 before they nerfed it but it was to strong

I also came upon a 700% research bonus tile, the Precursor Library. It appeared on a class 26 world in the game I am currently playing. w00t!

Usually it's simply the Print Screen button on your keyboard and then alt tab out of game to paste in your favourite photo editing program(paint, compupic etc).

You then have to put it an image and video hosting website like photobucket.com before it can show here...I believe.

Just got one here too, Wanted to be the first, oh well...

It's all in the read me for the 1.2 patch. Precursor Library is mentioned there. I know it's a LONG list, but it is a GOOD list to read.

Finally. Ya, I got one too. Sweet.

on my first 1.2 game I got a 700% research bonus tile

I got a 700% research pile in my very first game on my homeworld, aint that lucky "

I started a new game after installing 1.2 and the first planet I colonised was a size 11 planet with a 700% research tile and 3 100% research tiles.

Needless to say I did a little dance and made it my research capital.

I just downloaded 1.2 and I hope that I have a 700% research tile on one of my planets in my first game using 1.2. I've been waiting so long for it to happen!

I have had up to six on one planet. ......................syke!
Usually no more than two per game.


Peace out,

is there a 700% influence bonus? that would be cool...

I haven't played since the latest patch yet. What does that do to the economy if you find one during the early colony rush and put a lab on it? I have trouble using a precursor mine until the other colonies grow and start making money.

It's like plunking down 8 labs, but it does not cost you quite as much as 8 separate labs.

But, you can adjust down the research slider to compensate if you need to.

Ok, so this is a little off topic, but how much do you worry about needing to turn the production slider down for a while at the end of the colony rush while waiting for your planets to develop a little? I usually have to do it for a few months and I see the AIs with huge negatives at that time so I am assuming they do to. Do you usually grow slowly enough to avoid this or just deal with the slow progress for a while?
