==Player Tips & Tricks==

*Processors are a ubiquitous component of many important recipes and thus will be in constant demand throughout the game. Be prepared to construct large-scale Processor production, especially in the endgame when constructing a [[Dyson Sphere|Dyson sphere]], as they are needed to for both the [[Quantum Chip|Quantum Chips]] and [[Dyson Sphere Component|Dyson Sphere Components]] required to construct [[Small Carrier Rocket|Small Carrier Rockets]].

*Due to their fantastic logistic compression rate (Shipment Volume) it can be very worthwhile to actually locate Processor production on [[Silicon Ore|Silicon]] rich planets, instead of importing ore or even [[High-Purity Silicon|High Purity Silicon]].
