Darn it

A few days of intensive work on getting a second University up to 17, and I'm wondering if I did the right thing....

The plan was quite simple; I've got one world designated as a waste world - it's got the highest capacity for waste storage of any of my worlds, together with three of each of the waste recyclers. At its peak, it was recycling over 40k per hour.

The idea was that dropping the University on the same planet would mean that I'd have the capacity to support it - there's nothing especially draining there, so most of the resource production can go straight into supporting the university.

The practice, though.... With a good chunk of the recyclers at level 15 and most of the rest not too far behind, they're producing a lot less than I'd expect. I might be able to get a couple of extra levels of University, but I can foresee myself running out of resources a lot sooner than I'd like.

Darn.

So I'm now looking at migrating it again to the world I'm now building my Capitol on. That way, I'll be able to build up the resource production facilities past 15, which will help no end in supporting the University. And I can then remove the spare university on Wasteworld, and return it to its original purpose of storing and recycling Waste.

Time to start burning Essentia again.
