How do you get 300,000 energy so you can do the research on graviton technology 1 and work your way toward the death star?

The best way is to find hot planet (more than 100 degrees) and build sats on it... But you're gonna need Research lab on that planet too.

Simply: Lots of sats.
Use this to check the count on sats you need for your current planet. Also don't believe the resources shown as required there (it uses 2000 metal and 500 crystal for satelites cost)

If I understand you correctly that would mean building 16667 solar satellites to raise your energy total to 300,000---With all due respect that would not only take forever and cost everything but what happens when you get to satellite#16666 and some one attacks you and blows all those satellites to hell----please let me know if I am correctly reading your post----it makes sense but lord it is inefficient and time consuming---Thank you for responding by the way

1. The exact number of sats depends on the planet temperature (the hotter the planet the more energy you get per sat), and your solar plant/fusion reactor energy, but yes it takes a lot of sats.

2. Upgrade your nanite factory so that you have instant sat building. It has been a long time for me lol but I believe that is level 4 in X and level 3 in Speed. This will prevent anyone from crashing you before you get the tech. Make sure you have enough resources on the planet before starting.

Point 1:

Missed before - Try colonizing planets with 1-2-3 last coords, they are usually hotter than the others - My best hit on this is 121 degrees.

Point 2: You're correct about Nanites level 3 in Speed, level 4 in Xtreme. I'll also add level 4 in Massacre.

Thank you for responding unfortunately I may have to wait for christmas and ask santa for a death star

Maybe you can do it sooner - simply colonize few planets on slot 1, leave the one with highest temperature (over 100 degrees), and use it to research gravitons only...

As noted above, high Nanites to speed production (you want every batch of 5000 instantaneous) and warm planet (to reduce numbers of sats you need). Also useful are rubies to boost energy production + 25%

Getting warm planet (120 degrees) with energy plus -> it requires 11k sats in X/Massacre for graviton 2... The count should be 22k in Standard, and like 7,5k in Speed...

can't you just wait several hours and let the energy build up? Right now I'm getting +70K energy an hour (shipyard mistake), which could be useful for this right? Soi all I have to do is wait 5 hours for gravitron 1.
