Skylab Assistance

Okay so as of late I've started to progress with my Skylab, leveling up my basic module and whatnot. I've skimmed through several guidelines and I thought I had sussed out what's what, but I've been stumped... It seems my Prometium and Turbium aren't being collected, and my energy has been lowered to 0. I've been told I need to upgrade my Solar Module but I don't have enough resources to do so since the ones above aren't being collected.



This is a current screenshot of my Skylab just to show what I mean exactly. Again I'm unable to upgrade my Solar Module. Is there any way for me to get my energy back for the Prometium and Terbium collectors? Thanks in advance!

 

You need to turn them ON. Click the collectors and there is a power switch for them in the bottom left corner. Click on it.

 

if that doesnt work, get a goli and stock up on those ores and transfer them to youre ship so you can upgrade your power module.

 

I've tried this, however it says I'm not producing enough energy to active them

Is there a function to transfer resources from our ships into the Skylab? I'm not quite sure what you mean by transfer them to my ship from what I presume is the Skylab

 

go to the transfer module, it should already be there, but if not click on the little arrow by the skylab icon and ship icon.

 

No you can not transfer ore to the skylab. Turn off the refineries, then turn the collectors on. Then when you can, upgrade your solar module and storage modules. Keep them upgrading one level below the basic module.

 

you can transfer ores from youre ship to skylab storage, thats how you can upgrade all of youre modules after the first two.

 

Try it Panther and let us know how you came out.

 

i just did, when did they change that function? man, i feel stupid.

 

It appears I can't transport resources from my ship to the Skylab by using Panther's suggestion. However Psksundance's suggestion has worked, so thank you man!

 

Your welcome. I would not turn the refineries on until you get the collectors to level 10 but get the solar and storage caught up and passed the collectors before you level them up anymore.

 

They actually changed it 6 months or more ago. Its ok, players are finding out slowly. If you don't need to do it, it is hardly something you will find out about. Now when you start your skylab, your collectors start at level 1 so they will always be able to run...well when powered up.

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll do just that

 

Is there any plan to reinstate ore transfer back to Skylab? I have upgraded all off my ore producers to 20 but I an consuming more Duranium then I am producing. My only other option is to shut down production of my Promerium. Any other ideas???

 

It would probably be wise to post in, or check, the idea pool to see about that

 

They stopped it due to some exploit. Your duranium production should match your Prometed. If it is low, turn off your promerium until they max out. It may fix the issue.

 

Always have the basic, storage and solar HIGHER level than the collectors and refineries, this solves a lot of issues when building it(Skylab).

Collectors need to be HIGHER level than the refineries to avoid problems and to build excess amounts you can transfer to the ship and sell or use for lasers, rockets, generator, and shield boosts.

Prometid and Duranium should be HIGHER level than Promerium and Xeno, and Promerium Higher than Seprom to build nice excess amounts of ore.

 

Looks like turning off the Promerium will be the best route. Thanks.

 

i am try to transfer the ores from my ship to skylab but it won't let me at all even after i did refine ores until it max my capabity of my ship storage so i try tranfer it to skylab but nothing work

 

We discussed your problem further up this thread. You can not do that. Either sell the ore you have on your ship or use it to upgrade your equipment, lasers/rockets/shields/speed.
