I always build at most 6 t1 power generators , then I upgrade to tech 2 and build a tech 2 power plant as soon as possible. At the beginning of the game it's pretty expensive but it s a good investment

[@toddkes5890]

On stunt I tend to use for early game is a grid of T1 Power Gen and T1 Mass Fabs. You need 3 Power Gens per Mass Fab, and an extra 3 Power Gens at the end. The total I usually use in a skirmish is 3x7 Power Gens, and 2x6 of Mass Fabs internal, so it is a checkerboard pattern. This takes the Mass Fabs to only needing 30 power for 1 Mass, instead of 40

T1 mass fab?

[@toddkes5890]

@@adamofblastworks1517 Mass Fabricator. You put 40 Energy in, and get 1 Mass out. Just protect it well as this checkerboard pattern will cascade detonate if even one of the Power Generators gets destroyed

[@IrrieldeCZ]

So T1 pgens give same % adjacency reduction bonus as T2 or T3?

[@Penemue]

+IrrieldeCZ less %, but since t1 pgens consume little space under the shield and the explosive damage is negligible, they are the best choice

[@privus3513]

So would you also recommend to not build mass storage next to mass extractors?

[@Penemue]

Sometimes it’s good to go for factory adjacency or even quantum gateway, but most of the time, you should construct a full ring of storage around your t2 mexes.

[@ShadowHunter120]

I would say ring in storage if nothing else is available to consume the mass bonus.
