Double the material harvested

[Perry666]

Early game material harvesting is to poor. The rates should be doubled or even tripled asap. I'm running around harvesting for more then an hour now trying to make one extra small box. This is ridiculous.

It makes more sense to sell ore and buy things in early game if possible, otherwise it takes forever to craft your own things.

Yes and no.

 

The game sort of tempts you to do not so effective material havesting; but it is possible to do it very efficiently right from the start of the game.

Do the tutorials, 

 

Then check youtube how to dig-mine.

You can even do that on your personal sanctuary tile; there should be something from every material. This is much better than collecting surface rocks.

 

WIth missions and filled market there is no need to do "early game material havesting".

Yep, mine some of the Notes from your Tile, sell them and buy you some parts to build or buy a little ship and a territory unit for settling on alioth, madis or thades.

even the normal nodes there are enough to make some pretty money...
