I'll break down your analysis:
I must be missing something. You have LAB-4, FCT-4, and MIN-4 -- that's 18M research right there. LFS-3 (from starting at 2) is 2M more, and SLSU-3 is 3M (wrong 2M started at 2), which totals 23M (wrong 22M). We started with 12M, and have made 2M/turn for 4 turns (I assembled 2,000,000 LAB-1's which were in inventory on Turn 1 which brings the total operating LAB's to 10,000,000 at 0.25 RSCH per LAB = 2,500,000 RSCH per Turn, that's an extra 0.5M per Turn for Turns 2,3,4 & now 5)), which is 20M.(Which is 22M)
Ahhh, you installed more LABS from the starting stockpile, right? I don't have my turn in front of me, so I can't see how many LABS we started with, but for you to make 3M extra research using LAB-1s it would have taken 12M LAB-1/turns. Spread over 4 turns would mean 3M extra LAB-1s from the beginning along with 12M professionals to run them. Do I have all that right? (Getting closer...
)
So you deviated from the tutorial as well, you naughty boy. Are your MIN-4 already in production?
Answer:
Because I also assembled 4M FCT's each on FCT"S and MIN's, I will have 1,842,243 new MIN-4 arriving next turn. I just received 1,452,944 FCT-4's this turn and have put them on the OBC for the most part building more SLSU and LAB-4's )which started last turn using some FCT-1's. I am disassembling all FCT's in the orbiter and replacing them with larger quantities of FCT-4's this turn.
You MUST have LABS, FCT's and MIN's first. Then you get more stuff for the personnel utilized allowing for expansion of LAB's and Manufacturing as well as Mining the resources needed.
I have NOT colonized my extra Hab 10 planet yet though I did capture the alien artifact colony and have disassemble enough AUT-10's to bring home for PROTOTYPES which will reduce my RSCH costs for that by 80% (42M x 0.2 = 8.4M RSCH)
BTW: Jay wrote the tutorial and he no doubt knows how to play the game very well. There is always another way to skin a cat though as my grandmother always said.
