How many rockets

[Condate]

are senseful?

I have 3 of every kind, enough or more?

Let's say that the opinions will be different for everyone. But what is certain is that we have to launch a lot of them. Personally I had launched 10 of each of the types

[Condate]

10? And, is there anything "more" than with less (3, or 5 ...)?

You can never have too many rockets
I have at least 15-20 depending on their bonus%

On my oldest Prime save I launched about 50 or so of each. Didn't really need that many, just wanted to try it.

I bet the only reason you have 50 or so of each is because you spent way too much time chain launching rockets to watch them bug out and fly around like a cartoon fire extinguisher.

8 is a good number. That matches the number of T5 machines you can have buffed by an optimizer.

Best thing to do is spam as many at once so it makes a big mess of rocket that flies all over place!!!

Every time we advance a level everything seems to come to a stand still with teraforming. Rockets speed it up by adding 1000 pressure 1000 heat and so on. Crafting the next level machine and deconstruction older machines also helps speed it up again so everything ticking over quicker.
Build rockets in each until the teraforming numbers start ticking over again.
I had an average 13 with pressure heat and oxygen. 17 with insects in some only 3 for animals..
Bee Hives lvl 2 for example increase insects as well.
Butterfly farms .

I generally don't tend to have more than a half-dozen of each type at most - I find if I do more than that, the planet goes through its changes so fast I don't get enough time to enjoy it. So for me, a half-dozen of each is plenty, although I have several games where I only did three of each, however when you have so few, the end-game stage seems to take rather too long.

So for me, generally I'll do three of everything up to the animals stage, then I'll put up three more of everything, that keeps the early game slow enough and the end game fast enough to suit my tastes.

Basically though, if it works for you, awesome - if it doesn't, well hey, just do what seems right to YOU. You're the one playing, so your opinion counts most.

If anything is going slowly and you already have the bits or can make them for more rockets, launch more. I've had games where I launched 20 or more of the heat/pressure etc however, that's because I've often set the terraforming rate to 0.2 to give myself a challenge/time to explore.

In normal games I never really need more and do silly things like make ten of each just because it's a nice round number. Completely irrational :D

But the bigger thing that can slow you down is going to the loo, hearing 'ding' and having no idea that it said 'Tier 4 Heater unlocked' and not checking when you get back to your desk.

Keep the heaters, ore extractors, drills and so on updated.

Make sure you get a bee hive as soon as you can, and a butterfly farm and a frog farm etc. Even one makes a huge difference to the biological terraforming factors.

And rockets can be a very easy way, depending on the rocket, to generally speed up progress. Sometimes you can launch the rocket but not build the other thing that would add to that stat - so you can't build a plant producer at the current level, but have something doing it, and can release a plant rocket. So do that.

Some of it is highly dependent on what you loot from crates of course - if you find rockets that makes life easier but you might find mutagen or something else you need and isn't readily available.
