Building a Extraction and Industrial Complex now.
Got my first Colonisation Payment
- Thread starter Jigster
- Start date
Oh we playing The Sims now? Everyone got a happiness rating?
Is it delivered automatically? I was disappointed that the guide said, "Taxes ... can be redeemed by vising an administration contact." Is a physical pickup not requred?
All I have is an outpost and I got 21,000. Strange, I wonder if there's significant variance week to week, or if the type of outpost makes a big difference? Or if it partly depends on traffic from nearby systems (so lots of inhabited systems nearby helps?)
IIRC my outpost is scientific, but I was unfamiliar with colonization when I picked the type so I might be misremembering. It's inside the bubble rather than near the edges so there are a lot of inhabited systems around it
Oh I know; I dropped off about 60,000 credits of exploration data at the outpost, probably before the tick. I might be getting a cut off the value of that transaction?

Interesting:
This is from two otherwise identical colonies. The difference is I built the 24k on the 2nd day of launch, the second, I just finished yesterday.
So I can only assume the amount isn't a single weekly "tick", rather, it's an aggregate over time, and you get paid per day rather than per week.

None of the above - tbh since the update I played around 4h a day and a bit longer during the weekend. I was jumping into the system with FC, given the jump times of 1:15 I was scheduling jump back right away and then hauling. 792 Cutter with decent jump range also helps with collecting less "bulk" materials.
My 21k outpost was done on 2nd or 3rd day of launch, so you're probably right
That makes sense. Mine was finished right before the tick.
I think I'm going to have to do weekends too, by the time I start in the evening and sort things out the actual play is quite short, especially with the 1 hour plus wait for moving to a trading system.
You have a cut down Cutter lol, I too have 792 'units' of storage Cutter, no shields, just reinforced modules and heatsink launchers. After 3 years I still haven't succumbed to an interdiction, though many have tried. I'm going first with an orbital outpost, was aiming higher but it just ain't gonna work...
System score?
I'm actually not 100% sure. I didn't specifically see my balance go up but then I don't monitor it that closely. I checked all the contacts in my system and there were no options to collect. Hmmmm. Anyone see the credits go into their account?
We've all been there.
Hello,
The return of around 15,000 to 200,000 for the massive effort required to expand the system is very manageable.
In my eyes, it's not worth it. Are there any other reasons why you should set up such a system with
stations at all?
Regards

Very interesting. Makes me wonder if it is part of the new feature or if the new features is capitalizing on a behind the scenes mechanism.
....wait nevermind... I think that was visible in the squadron panel.
