Bdw kakucis. Truy to put that factory on lvl5 and kick the shit out of some expencive/good bp. Then your invesment will come back. Draining res. from planets is like lowest and slowest way to get sat back from planets. Am not persuiting it at all. Exept maby from few *very high ore/extraction* planets.
You are right, but remember, max speed is 1 ore(Gem, component, equipment) in 10 min!! And not all BP`s are so profitable like CPU`s. I have invested in ship BP`s and do not craft at all, only for my self. Same with many components. It is not worth it, that`s all. And you are right about planet owners (maybe) I don`t feel any big restrictions in my gameplay after update, I use planetary crafting~80-90%. But if you ask me how to get so much planets+upgrades now....absolutely no idea(maybe impossible). At least it takes months, maybe years...But take in account that I play since ~ july 2016. It`s a long time too + in start I spend ~14-16h per day. And so ~3-4 months....
