[UI] Sky Lab waiting months to make

there shouldn't be a long waiting process to make the sky lab that is quite discouraging for new players maybe a week tops but not months... I am an old back in the day player and now have made a new ship which have been working on since 2015 the sky lab has taken 3 months jut to get it to level 8 to 10 this makes players want to quit the game.... Yeah, I can see you all saying we did it so can they.... It really should be reduced in time to making a sky lab... I can see where dark orbit is getting at making the game more interesting but its not people dont have that much time on their hands anymore.

 

Wrong, sorry.

It doesn't take that much time, honestly. In less than 2 days, my skylab went from level 6 to level 9. Buy additional boosters for Prometium, Endurium and Terbium to produce more of these ores per hour.

Keep Prometium, Endurium and Terbium 2 levels ahead of Prometid and Duranium, and 3 levels ahead of Promerium and Xeno module and you won't have troubles upgrading the skylab.

 

3 months to go up 2 levels? It only takes 3 months to go from zero to maxed out. You don't even have to play to upgrade during that time. Just transfer ore, sell, and upgrade systematically. About 5 minutes on and off the game and on with life. In that same time, you can have your ship at least to level 15 or 16 if you are playing and depending on the server FE.

 

My accounts had them up in just over 30 days. You get Basic leveled to 3, start storage, solar, prometium, endurium, and terbium when you have enough materials to get them all started at once. Repeat this until collectors are level 3 and then start the prometid and duranium builds. Repeat again, starting the Promerium and Xeno builds (keeping them 1 level behind the Prometid and Duranium) , and then start the Prometid and Duranium, then the Basic, storage, and solar and the final starts again are the Collectors (this is the cycle you will follow to the end). Repeat again and add Seprom to the mix. This should get you to about level 6 on the Promerium refinery before it starts taking longer than the others to be started. You will not be able to start a Promerium and Seprom with every REPEAT as they take longer to complete than the others but start them as soon as you can. IF you are really in a hurry you can BUY the Robots (Uridium ones, all 12) and run them for 48 hours (remembering not to start a build while they are active). Even doing one upgrade level a day should have the main components up to level 20 leaving just the Promerium and Seprom to be finished after 30 days.

4th day collectors started
7th day Prometid/Duranium started
8th day Promerium an Xeno get started
9th day Seprom is started
15th day buy Robots instead of starting collectors
17th day should be starting everything again and collectors should be upgrading to level 14 (here we start having to do every other day if I remember correctly)
19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 30th day collectors are on final upgrade.

And the rest is just time to finish the Skylab longest being the wait for Seprom to finish.

 

sounds another player who does not play often at all.

 

It is actually not important how much the OP is active. If you just log in one day to sell ores and upgrade skylab, you won't face too much troubles.

The OP must be doing something wrong.

 

You just said its not important how much he plays but then you u say if he logs on everyday his good,when you need to play to get credits and make the upgrade if he does not play and just logs on expecting to upgrade and he has no credits then everything fails and he will quit bc his not putting in the effort therefore he prefers to complain.

 

The OP can still make credits just by logging in and selling ore - Promerium. That is enough credits to upgrade skylab constantly (I have been doing this for some time when I had lots of real life stuff to do and didn't had too much time for the game to play).

 

The player does have to log in and play a little (at least doing the daily Quest) so he can get his Promerium Refinery making enough to make credits. It is at least 2 weeks before he can send enough Promerium to make a decent amount of credits and without playing it is only 500 credits per unit transferred. My baby account with level 3 PET takes about 2 hours to do all 12 daily quests if I do not do them before I have them all open. The 2 hardest are the Rocket Attack (30 Saimons with Rockets only) and the Streuner (50 Streuners) without enemy locator and the fact I am too high to get anything for killing them in 2-1, other than credit to the Quest.

 

now I am taking seprom to level 9 that itself takes 82 hour not unless you pay.... level 10 will be over 100 hours and just keeps moving up maybe 150 for lvl 11 and more so I dont see how some got lab to level 16 in 2 days not unless they paid

 

I had my entire lab up in 60 days on my main (us2) account. I was taking everything up as soon as I could and like I said I had everything except the Promerium and Seprom up to level 20 in the first 30 days. I never even allowed the Seprom to make any (unless it finished when I was asleep) as I built it just as fast as it finished the upgrade. Promerium on the other hand I would allow to run for a day to build up some rocks to send to the ship, but it was only 4 or 5 more upgrades to complete it. Yes the last upgrade for Seprom is like 7 days or so, but once it is started I consider the lab finished.

 

it is not about credits... Its about time... I have millions of credits

 

The time you have to make, as in time to log in and start an upgrade. You should see how long each one takes to complete for the level and maybe make a note, mental or paper. Then you know about when to come again for the next one. Either way, everyone has to do the same thing for the skylab. You are right that only those that paid can do it in 2 days. I am not sure why it would take that long if they are paying though. Just keep going as there is no point in complaining about time that is set in stone. As an old time player, you should know this is not a race.

 

Well said!

Take your time with the Skylab, and enjoy the game.

Enjoy the game.
