Not sure how much you want to minmax but if you do...

> Mining Satellites (not Research yet), though maybe hold off until you get Prosperity if you're playing with Utopia, with a colony soon after

> Ideally should be running the fleet around split into 3 to scout for systems with habitable planets and survey there first

Research wise:
Improved Spaceport (Coilgun isn't important until we're at fleet cap, and we can get it from wreckage)
Planetary Unification
Field Modulation

This is a good set of things to research.

Mining satellites as necessary, but if you aren't finding enough minerals definitely start working those tiles.

Hey, I dunno if this LP is meant for people familiar to the game or not, so feel free to ignore me, but you haven't explained that 4x4 grid on the very first screenshot.

Those are the tiles and Danny Glands will probably explain how they work once the LP hits the point of actually building stuff on them :v:

Yeah he's still fine at surveying planets and researching anomalies, just a little slower and frankly that barely matters.

...comedy option, go have him investigate a bunch of black holes :v:

I think it's best we not deprive our poor paranoid scientists the opportunity to make new discoveries in the field.

They have enough problems as it is and I'd hate to see them driven to drink if they no longer have any work to do.

The thing is, (unless Paradox changed it) the chance for anomalies is rolled once, the first time anyone surveys it. So technically trading star charts lets you know planets that have very definitely been surveyed by others, and improve your chances of getting anomalies.

Since the precursor things now have a chance to just be generated randomly on planets you own so you have a chance to see the end of them this matters less, but so it goes.

(It was objectively terrible to take star charts in the brief window where Planetary Survey Corps under Discovery tradition was 1/3 of your research points per surveyed planet tho)
