A Planet of Mine Guide: Mastering Interplanetary Domination

A Planet Of Mine Guide offers comprehensive strategies and helpful tips for navigating this intricate 4X strategy game. This detailed guide provides valuable insight and practical guidance, assisting players in resource management, strategic expansion, and overall planetary success, all available at CONDUCT.EDU.VN. Equip yourself with vital information on ethical gameplay, responsible resource utilization, and strategic decision-making, fostering both effective and conscientious management.

1. Understand Your Planet Through Ground View

The ground view is your primary tool for gathering crucial data about your planet’s surface. This feature provides detailed information about specific plots of land, giving you a clear understanding of what each area offers. Tapping on a piece of ground reveals key details such as what is currently built or occupying the space, the type of ground it is (jungle, savannah, etc.), and the amounts of solid and liquid resources stored within it.

Knowing these details allows you to make informed decisions about where to build specific structures and which species would thrive in particular locations. If a space is occupied, you’ll receive details on the existing structure and any available actions, such as leveling up or demolishing it. If the space is unoccupied, you’ll learn more about the ground itself, including whether it’s cultivatable and which species prefer working there. This information is crucial for optimizing your planet’s resource output and ensuring efficient resource management.

Liquid resources, like water or oil, tend to be scarcer than solid resources such as stone or wood. Therefore, if you locate a plot of land abundant in liquid resources, prioritizing the construction of a well to extract those resources before dedicating the space to other purposes is advisable. Conversely, constructing a well on a piece of land with scarce or nonexistent resources would prove to be unproductive.

2. Utilize Planet View for Quick Productivity Assessment

The main planet view is essential for getting a quick overview of your planet’s current productivity and resource distribution. This view allows you to see your entire planet without zooming in on specific plots. From this vantage point, you can easily spot important details through various shortcut symbols, enabling you to assess the overall health and efficiency of your colony.

Ground Color: The color of the ground provides a visual cue for the type of biome. Savannah appears as medium brown, jungle as medium green, netheriumferous as purple, and swamp as dark brown. Recognizing these colors helps you quickly assess whether you are utilizing your population effectively. For example, Beaverians thrive in swamps, while Rhinos excel in savannahs.
Natural Resource Percentage: The presence of natural resources, such as forests or seas, is indicated by a large circle filling most of the ground space. The completeness of this circle shows the remaining amount of the resource. A full circle indicates 100% remaining, while a sliver means the resource is almost depleted. Natural resources do not replenish, so managing them carefully is critical.
Current Resource Production: Species-built structures that produce resources display an icon indicating the resource being produced. For example, a farm will show an icon of redballs, while a foundry will show the icon for the currently assigned recipe, such as coal or plastic.
Available Worker Slots: Black dots at the bottom of a plot indicate how many more workers can be assigned to that plot. A farm that can accommodate two workers will have two dots if no one is assigned. Seas can accommodate up to three workers. Structures that do not require workers, like schools, will have no dots.
Ground Chunk Size: If the colored core is missing, and the ground is reduced to a small sliver, it means all solid and liquid resources in that ground have been depleted. This visual cue allows you to quickly identify areas where mining or extraction are no longer viable.

3. Leverage Surroundings for Resource Mining

The immediate environment significantly influences the resources you can extract from any given plot of land. For example, rocky terrain is more likely to yield stone compared to jungle environments. Similarly, the structures adjacent to the mining area can also impact the resources you’ll obtain. Paying attention to these contextual clues can help you optimize resource gathering.

The game provides hints about resource availability in the descriptions, but often, logical deduction is sufficient. Mining near a Pinatosaurus often results in larger quantities of fertilizer or bio-gas. Building a well close to a sea increases the likelihood of collecting water, while placing your well near vegetation like redball bushes or forests enhances your chances of finding oil. These strategic placements can significantly boost your resource production efficiency.

4. Optimize Upgrading vs. Building New Structures

In A Planet of Mine, many structures evolve through upgrades, such as plantations becoming farms, which then upgrade into staged farms. From a resource perspective, the total resources spent on upgrading structures is equivalent to building the fully upgraded structure from scratch. However, the decision to upgrade or build anew depends on your current situation.

If you already have a lower-level structure in place, upgrading it is more cost-effective than building a separate plot with the upgraded structure directly. This saves you resources and construction time. However, if you are building from scratch, constructing the upgraded structure directly can save you construction time. Balancing these factors allows you to optimize your resource usage and development speed.

5. Manage Space Efficiently by Demolishing Structures

Habitats determine the number of inhabitants you can create but do not limit how many inhabitants can live on your planet simultaneously. This distinction allows for strategic space management. To maximize space, you can increase your population by creating as many inhabitants as you can support and then demolish the sheds or houses. You retain all your inhabitants while freeing up valuable space.

However, if your population decreases due to deaths or other factors, you’ll need to rebuild living spaces before creating more citizens. This strategy helps balance population growth with space availability. Furthermore, if you do not plan on traveling anytime soon, demolishing your starship can free up another plot of ground. You can rebuild it once you reach Ascension level 5.

6. Protect Your Workforce When Demolishing

When demolishing a structure, especially one with assigned workers, it’s crucial to safeguard your inhabitants. Demolishing a resource or structure that an inhabitant is currently working on will result in the worker’s destruction along with the structure. This can significantly set back your resource production and population levels.

Before demolishing any structure, ensure that all assigned workers are moved to another structure or relocated to the center of the planet to store them safely. This practice ensures that your workforce remains intact, allowing you to maintain consistent productivity. However, in situations where you need to reduce your population, such as over-expansion leading to redball shortages, this can be a way to reduce numbers. Another method involves sending inhabitants to battle Pinatosaurus.

7. Understand Inhabitant Creation and Species Dynamics

Inhabitants are generated randomly from the species present on a given planet. If multiple species coexist, a new inhabitant will be randomly selected from the available species. However, if you colonize a new planet with only one species, only that species will be generated on that planet. This dynamic influences your planet’s population composition and resource utilization.

If two species once lived together on a planet, but one is eliminated, the planet will only produce the remaining species from that point forward. This makes managing species and their environments crucial for long-term sustainability. Additionally, when a new species is integrated into your society, all inhabitants, even those not on the same planet, gain its unique research bonus. For example, if Rhinos encounter Beaverians on a new planet, all Rhinos will benefit from the Beaverians’ increased construction speed via the “Building” research skill.

8. Strategic Research Point Management

When you advance your civilization through Ascension, you’ll earn Science points and unlock new research trees. These points can be used to unlock skills within your research tree, providing various advantages. However, each skill you unlock doubles the cost of the next, making strategic spending essential.

While the first skill might cost only 500 Science, the fourth skill requires 4,000 Science. The amount of Science earned per Ascension level does not increase, making it difficult to unlock more than a few research skills. Therefore, avoid spending Science immediately unless you have a clear goal in mind. Wait to see if better skills become available at higher Ascension levels. Also, avoid spending Science on skills that are not relevant to your current scenario. For example, if there are no hostile AI factions, avoid investing in diplomacy or defensive abilities. You can spend Science at any time, so if circumstances change, you can always purchase skills from a previous tier.

9. Maximize Production Facility Recipes

Most production facilities offer multiple recipes, providing flexibility in resource production. When you tap on a resource-producing structure, such as a plantation, foundry, or research lab, you’ll find a drop-down box showing the current output. Tapping this box allows you to select alternative recipes, optimizing production based on available resources and needs.

For example, a plantation can generate two redballs directly or transform one water into three redballs, or one fertilizer into four redballs. A foundry can produce coal from wood by default but can also produce water, glass, concrete, steel, plastic, and bio-gas by switching recipes. If a recipe is listed in red, it means the current structure cannot access it but will be available after a later upgrade. For instance, the “25 coal > 1 emerald” recipe may be unavailable on the press but accessible on the assisted press.

10. Optimize Ascension Points Through Population Management

Ascension points are earned at the end of each planetary cycle, where inhabitants consume redballs. The amount of Ascension earned depends on the species and any bonuses from structures. For example, Beaverians earn +5 Ascension per inhabitant, while Space Chickens earn only +2. This makes population management crucial for maximizing Ascension gains.

Even though creating inhabitants costs Ascension, this one-time investment results in recurring Ascension rewards. Over time, inhabitants recoup their creation cost after only a few cycles. The maximum Ascension level is 10, after which you can no longer level up via Ascension. Reaching this level unlocks the final research tree and expands your stellar map.

11. Improve Civilization Score Effectively

Some challenges require you to reach a specific Civilization score, which is the combined total score of all your planets. This score differs from Ascension or Science points, as it is based entirely on what you have built and is not spent on anything. Each structure’s contribution to the Civilization score is listed in its description. For example, a foundry is worth +200 Civilization score, while an assisted foundry is worth +400.

One way to increase Civilization score is by colonizing more planets, allowing you to build more structures. Upgraded structures always contribute more than their lower-tier counterparts. Some structures, like the galactic library (20,300 points) and stellar temple (10,400 points), are designed specifically to provide significant bonuses.

12. Achieve Planet-Wide Milestones

Achieving specific planet-wide milestones is another effective method to boost your Civilization score. These milestones, known as “planet status” in the game’s encyclopedia, typically involve constructing a set of structures. Completing these structures assigns a status to your planet and provides a substantial score boost.

For example, the “mining” status is granted when your planet has four functioning modern mines powered by energy. Earning this status immediately grants you +10,000 Civilization score. However, demolishing a structure will deduct its contribution from your total score, so plan carefully.

13. Select the Right Starting Species

Choosing the right starting species can significantly impact your early game progress. While the game’s tutorial uses the Space Chickens, we recommend using the Beaverians for your initial playthrough. The Beaverians start with an extra 200 wood, which allows you to quickly build essential structures.

Additionally, they earn a decent amount of Ascension each cycle, at +5 per inhabitant. These advantages provide a smoother start and help you establish a strong foundation for your colony.
