How Many Construction Points for an Asteroid Station?

[Cmdr Travers]

Hiya,

I've been building a colony and now have six facilities in it.

• Coriolis starport
• Medium extraction settlement
• Large extraction settlement
• Extraction outpost
• Refinery
• Extraction hub

I have three construction points and the in-game system says I completed four facilities.

The asteroid base option though is still locked. I don't want to just build more stuff for the sake of doing so if it might be the wrong thing to build.

Can somebody tell me please what the unlock requirements are for this?

Many thanks

Ain't asteroid field mandatory for that one?

 

[Archvillain]

3 points, same as corialis

It is probably locked because of the other requirement; you can only build them where there are asteroids to build them out of, such as planetary rings.

The system I'm in has both an asteroid field and a planetary ring

I expect this is no help but just in case: if the asteroid field has a construction spot that is its child, not sibling, then that spot should allow construction. Having asteroids in the system isn't enough, only the construction locations within (directly attached to) those asteroid areas are eligible.

If you have the points and you have the location and still can't get the option... then that appeared to be enough for mine so perhaps it's more beta weirdness that will go away in time. Maybe check again after the nightly tick?

Yup, got all that. I agree, could be beta weirdness

Also; check you haven't hit the limit on concurrent constructions. You might have to finish some constructions before you can start more (concurrent limit is indicated at top of architect system view IIRC)

All six are finished.

 

[Archvillain]

All six are finished.

If the game is still saying you've finished four (as you indicated earlier) then I'd still check whether it's a concurrency issue (and if it is, it should solve itself with time)

How many facilities did you have to build for it to unlock?

 

[Archvillain]

How many facilities did you have to build for it to unlock?

Two, plus the initial outpost; just enough to get the 3 points.

(But concurrency isn't how many facilities exist, it's how many constructions are considered unfinished)

Hey there, ive been collecting some data with friends about how the colonisation economy works, if you dont mind me asking can you please tell me where this system you are building is? i would like to visit the coriolis market and stuffs regarding them being online or offline.

if anything i plan to share information that we collect to public , ive been tinkering alone in my system for somewhile where i built ocellus as the primary wishing i could get better market data this way but so far in all range of colony ports yield the same market result.. low qty Bio waste selling , so i kinda behind the schedule of what im planning to do next to figure out how to crack this refinery economy situation and hoping if you allow me to see your coriolis market data that would be great both system or market screenshot would be nice

Cheers 07

also for related info that is the asteroid base stats and points required, based on that we will need 3 T1 facilities that gives 3xT2 points after completion.

Cheers 07

If all works to plan it'll be good for tritium sales and metals as there's plenty in the system. None of that is showing in the market yet though.

 

[tomalus]

From what I can see asteroid base produces same things in every spot. Like an icy ring base produces same as metal rich.

Someone must have made a mistake, because if you didn't mix up anything and I recreated your system correctly, then according to the spreadsheet, your system should not be possible.

The reason your Architect UI shows you have 4 structures could either be because it only counts orbitals, or it could be a visual bug. The fact that you have three T2 points is most likely a visual bug, as surface hubs and large settlements consume T2 points. My guess is that in practice you don't have enough T2 points to build an asteroid station, even though it shows you have them.

HEY THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW YOUR SYSTEM!
based on this if i could move my primary into Refinery things might worked out!!

Thank you and ill inform you again if i my system market worked!

 

[GreenCrusher44]

but yeah in total you have 1 colony, 3 extraction and 1 refinery and 1 more ongoing idk..
for some reason no refinery product just yet in your port.
you have the privilage of having your station ontop of landable body with surface slot but i didnt, ill still need to finish my 2nd refinery work atm and wishing i could move my primary economy into refinery and i wish i could share a good news anytime soon, given time give or take..
