Hyades Cluster - Metal Planets?

[Treguard]

I was just wondering if anyone else was struggling to find enough metal planets? I had to trade the extra water ones that I had and have 3 metal planets atm. There doesn't seem to be any left :\

I was not able to find enough metal planets. But I was able to trade back and forth between 2 species to multiply my water/organics. Then I traded with a 3rd species for metal.

Cheers cowlinator. I must've missed a planet somewhere. I noticed that one of the Fel systems looked like it had a couple of metal planets, but am I right in thinking that we're meant to keep the peace with them and Cicisbeo?

Haha I really didn't realise that going back and forth between those two races made it easy to increase your planetary count. I didnt trade with a 3rd species though; just built up enough water and then traded them for metal. Cheers for the tip :)
Like yourself I didn't expect the game to just quit when it played the ending animation.

Hyades Cluster
Cold System 1 and Fel Colony have Metal deposits.

Better to get Metal through trading.
Trade Radioactives, Organics, and Metal to the Fel to buy Water.
Trade Water to the Cicisbeo to buy Organics.

Keep trading between Fell and Cicisbeo.
When you have 74 organics you can get 20 of each resource.
Trade with the Fel for 80 Water.
Trade with the Broodmaster for 40 Metal.
Trade with the Lutin for 20 Radioactives.

Thanks for the tip :) THis is very similar to what I ended up doing, but I'd already killed off the Broodmaster which just made the process a little slower
