So...Shipyard is useless right?

[Bard]

Aside from a very slow trickle of exotic gems, it's pretty useless right? The resource amounts are almost insulting. I get 500b white per second idling, the Shipyard gives me 600k with a 5 minute shipment?

[Ninja Zyborg]

yeah its pretty meh

The shipyard gives you 2 exotic gems per day, just do that and nothing else. Its one of the only ways to grind them out. That alone makes the shipyard unbelievably useful as you can then access exotic skills and the exotic experiment in the lab

get more exotic by just randomly farming your mine then doing that but yeah 2 click 2 gems is worth

No you dont? Mine drops standard gems not exotics. Literally not even on the drop chart

[Too Mellow]

uh, its an exotic skill like he mentioned, the exotic skills in the mine give you a 0.5% chance of uncovering an exotic gem.

Wrong, Exotic skill gives a 0.05% chance that a mined tile turns into exotic gem.

0.05, not 0.5, it's hella difference, stop spreading false information.

Exotic skill was literally never mentioned but good to know, never thought to look in there xD

You could get more than 2 per day if you grind the shipment bonus by doing 5 minute orders repeatedly. Of course, that requires the shipyard's exotic skill so that the shipment bonus is also applied to exotic gems at a reduced rate.

You could've told them to "check in-game and see for yourself" instead of assuming that their behavior is intentional and evil. Just saying.

full automine script with the exotic gem skill gives a lot of gems if you leave it running overnight

agree. afk mining can give 30+ gem without any factory boost

[Snoopy]

It has slight worth very early, but it falls behind fast (even with heavy use...I have over 200 shipments and its still well behind my factory). I'm still running shipments just to get my shipment count up in case they rework/upgrade it in future, but I would not spend any resources on it at this stage. Even the 2 exotics per day is worthless at higher military tiers.

[Arevi]

I still disagree on the Exotics Gems part, my shipments now give me 4 exotics per day unless they hit bad weather, then its 3. Upgrade the shipyard and the gems/exotics does eventually rise. The mine is pure RNG, sometimes i get a good load and sometimes i get next to none. Not to mention that you need to have the AI unlocked, enough lines for a good mine script AND leave it running for long periods of afk time. Its pretty late into the game for that.

I would say thats literally the only use for it though so overall its still pretty useless as building i do agree. Honestly i think one simple change could make it massively worthwhile : Let us get shipments of Dust or Ore. Boom. Now we have an additional way to pull in much needed resources and a fully proper use for the Shipyard. It would also mean that if people havent worked out that dust/ore is super important, the Shipyard could be an extra indicator for them.

I guess.

I just spent 50k exotic gems on an upgrade, though...so goodluck with your 3-4 per 24 hours.

You arent thinking of the newer guys, we dont need 50k exotics for literally anything, the dearest im saving for costs 35 lol You also wont be earning that amount from the Mine either so not really sure why you threw your hat in the ring haha
