X3 albion prelude factory guide how to#

I don't even use CLS because no guide puts it simply how to use it. Now I have about 3 super freighters and 1 mini-merc all trading in different systems, ore to plants. I got ore from EmpMines and sold to the Argon systems north until I had enough reputation to start selling to Paranid Prime.

I ended up figuring out the most of what I know in this game by myself sadly, I traded until I could afford a bigger and better Mercury and used Best Buy/Sell to start selling Ore, when it was harder to make a profit in Ore Belt, Emperor Mines which was South of CloudBase SW had a bunch of great Ore Mines and places to sell in Paranid Prime. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in Ore Belt trying to figure out what the fuck 'Best Buy' and 'Commodity Logistics Software' is and trying to use them to make money. By this time you should have your first 100million! Congrats!' Now once you've done that 2-3 times in your tiny Mercury you should have about 5 million credits stacked up, go ahead and buy a 7million ship and use CLS to have it trade Ore. so you can do the same with Ore to Production Facilities. All guides usually just say 'Now see that Rectangle? Yep thats a station, in The Wall theres some 'Solar Plants' go ahead and buy some Energy Cells for cheap, and sell them to Ore Mine's for 19.

Myself, and a lot of other starting players find it impossible to get around in the early game to make enough cash for profitable investments. I find guides are usually not in depth enough before the 'making fat stacks' part of the game.

The problem is that when one of the needed resources is filled to capacity, the ship supplying that resource just gives up on its manual trade run. I did this by ordering several ships to perform infinite manual trade runs. Sorry bud, I didn't find this guide useful at all. So, I set up a bunch of ships to manually supply my new crystal factory with the needed resources.
