I havent played Avorion in a couple updates and was curious to what was new and best practices. Much of what I learned I didnt know or found anywhere else, especially when it came to setting up intra-sector transport of good to dependent stations. Very nice and Thanks. Cheers
I'm currently making a spreadsheet that you can program in required goods output, and it will tell you how many stations you'll need for the production chain (taking assembly blocks & levels into account) I've almost worked out the bugs, and I've currently got in excess of 300 stations in 1 sector producing and selling almost every good in the game :D
There is a mod called station balancing which (among other things) can tell you at how much capacity your station is running and how much more production capacity you need. Keep in mind that if you have a station without any production capacity, you need to add 100 to that number (by default, stations get a base production capacity of 100/s, just like ships get a base generated energy of 500mw. Except it isnt actually mentioned in the stations stats). If you have the option of using a mod, you can quickly turn this one on to get the required numbers for your stations and then turn it back off. It beats counting and guessing ^^
The problem I face is that I have to take the base game as is and work with it and try and show what it all means. I don't show mods in beginner guides because they are most likely playing without mods. However you gave me an idea to do a mod review so I will look into this one and others to see what will be useful. Thank you for comment I can tell you have a wealth of knowledge!!
AHHH THAT DAMN 0!!! I've been trying to figure out why my cargo ship doesn't deliver water and energy cells... Life saver man!! My stations constantly buy water for a huge overprice when I have 4 water mines nearby. Thanks man!
Well, the option at 24:50 with designign your own cargo vessel and let them buy and sell doesnt work anymore. I dont have these buy and sell options in the game.
Should I set up stations in a sector where there is nothing or should there already be stations from a faction? Do my goods even sell when i have stations in a sector where there is nothing else?
I initially purchased stations from the shipyard with a captain, but after setting up the station I kicked out the (expensive) captains and they appear to still be functioning
you need a captain if you want to use the transporter software to supply your stations. You can also use it to add some combat fighters to a station and have an automated defense force (you will have a bunch of processing capacity anyway. Might as well produce fighters in parallel).
here's an idea: Space Monsters...who eat 'Toxic Waste'! But...likely can't tell the difference between normal traffic (Junk Food) and Toxic Waste Haulers (Health Food).
Is it really worth it though? It's literally multiple millions and hundreds of thousands of outcome with captains and salary and buying what you don't have but need for what, 1.5k WORTH per second? This must be a good way to make money but numbers doesn't add up. I am really new to this game, gotta need some advise.
Building stations is a time and money sink. Something you do later on in the game if you want to. Late game you will have more money than you know what to do with it. Return on investment seems low at first but you will make your money back at some point in the game.
@@justpette1503 oh yeah for sure. Just by setting up mines as you play through will start this snow ball affect. Most ppl start to build a home base in the centre but you can build anywhere really as long as there is a demand.
@@gary0073 Well, I currently made about 5 miners with 4 mining lasers and one miner upgrade so they can mine up to naonite and think it's doing pretty alright right now. Although I really wanted to establish an empire and by that I mean crafting and producing almost everything myself to supply my own ships and fleet, affraid I can't :(
@@gary0073 It is kind of the most important part. I have been looking everywhere to see where that map is. I only can find the trading overview, not the map with the galaxy ratios
I made this just because no one made a god damn Toxic Waste page for Fandom. I do not plan on editting further. Literally just added this page, went to Fertilizer Factory and added it's link (and link back to Fertilizer Factory here in the Toxic Waste page) which took as little as 30 seconds to do. avorion.fandom.com/wiki/Toxic_Waste

Awesome, I've just been mining the entire time.
Thanks!!
Really nice video. .. the visuel of you video and how you present it .. Wonderful . 9,9/10 -
Thank you

Np mate.
Hey man just wanted to say you’re an amazing TH-camr please keep making guides for this game.
thxs!

Wow my computer can't even handle 20 stations in one area. When it is done send it to me so I can have a look at it and share with others. 😁😁
update?

Np!!
3 years late but.... thank you:)
This game takes a bit of TH-cam research to progress.
well done ive been using cargo pods,,,like the transport idea. thnx gg
Thank you
that was a damn good video. so good and informative i subbed and saved the video.
thank you
I love your station designs. Are they available in the Steam Workshop?
There are far better designs on the workshop, I'll just lower the standard LOL.
You should do a new video on docking stations together. From what I've been reading you don't need any cargo fighters ships or transporters
Sometime after Avorion 2.0 has dropped I will look into it.
@@gary0073 congrats, its dropped!
Gary, when stations are within docking range like you showed us, do you have to supply cargo shuttles?
No, you should be able to trade directly to one another.
This is so helpful, thanks!
You are welcome. I have more content if you like to check it out 😊
Thanks for the video hopefully it hasnt schange much .. and new update is coming !
haha i love that intro!
Thanks man, Made it myself lol with paint
Dude, awesome brief!
Glad you liked it!
Well, the option at 24:50 with designign your own cargo vessel and let them buy and sell doesnt work anymore. I dont have these buy and sell options in the game.
I think this has changed in 2.0. I haven't played the new game.
Do you have those station designs shared?
No I don't sorry.
Should I set up stations in a sector where there is nothing or should there already be stations from a faction? Do my goods even sell when i have stations in a sector where there is nothing else?
If you build them, they will come to you.
Did they change some of the mine names? Is water collector now an ice mine for example?
I don't think so mate.
@@gary0073 I made an ice mine tonight which produces water 🤷🏼
@@Jonofwrath69 Ok so you have two options, one is to build a Water Collector and the second one is like you said a Ice Mine.
I initially purchased stations from the shipyard with a captain, but after setting up the station I kicked out the (expensive) captains and they appear to still be functioning
I got into a habit of setting up stations with captains for the supply chain side of things, It's harder to find a captain when you need them.
you need a captain if you want to use the transporter software to supply your stations. You can also use it to add some combat fighters to a station and have an automated defense force (you will have a bunch of processing capacity anyway. Might as well produce fighters in parallel).
with the exceptional trade upgrade you don't get to see it in the galaxy map right?
Only Exotic it seems. took me a while to figure it out
here's an idea: Space Monsters...who eat 'Toxic Waste'! But...likely can't tell the difference between normal traffic (Junk Food) and Toxic Waste Haulers (Health Food).
Sounds like McDonald's lol.
Like for this EPIC INTRO!!!!!!!
Thanks man, I was playing around with pencil at the time ( I think that's what it was called)..
About the optimal production capacity for stations, there is now a wiki page for that:
avorion.gamepedia.com/Optimal_factory_production_capacity
Cool thanks

@@gary0073 Is there a way to snowball by establishing an empire? Working on the economy should be rewarding.
@@justpette1503 oh yeah for sure. Just by setting up mines as you play through will start this snow ball affect. Most ppl start to build a home base in the centre but you can build anywhere really as long as there is a demand.

@@justpette1503 you are very early into the game and have a long way to go best of luck.
you skipped the part where you actually get the the menu to found the station
Well I guess that is a small mistake on my part.
@@gary0073 It is kind of the most important part. I have been looking everywhere to see where that map is. I only can find the trading overview, not the map with the galaxy ratios
can't really do the rest of your video without being able to read the 1st map lol
But love your work otherwise
