Multiple Gorges Get Much More Total Res Than One?

RickyGervais · February 2003

Just had a weird game on tanith. I was the only gorge in a 5v5. My team was excellent players vs not very good players. The marines could not get more than 20 metres out of their base.
So after I had put up 2 res towers insetad of saving for hive I went round and got every res node on the map, thats 9 nodes in total I had fully built towers on. Even with that i was only getting around 5-6 res per tick(dunno if tick is right, but 5-6 res at a time with the normal few second intervals between increases).
My res was going up fast but not as fast as I expected for having 9 towers and being the only gorge.

Well when you have 9 res towers your res should be going up quite fast =/

See the kharaa res system works so that the res is split up between the whole team. Not evenly though, the gorges each get 3 shares (I believe it is 3) and the rest get one. So when you have multiple gorges the res WILL come slower, it's plain math.

But it is better explained in the kharaa strategy forum, sticky post (kharaa res system for dummys).

Also, the amount of res you get is effected by whether or not the other aliens are spending. I bet a few of the other aliens were going lerk or you had some late comers join the game.

Well maybe it's because the rest of your team has their res capped... so their share goes directly to you.

That means instead of the 3 points of res going to you and 1 point going to the others, that one point goes to the Gorge too.

If you have more players with their res capped, your res should go up really fast even though you don't have a lot of res towers up.

yeah when all your skulks are at 33/33 and you have 4+ RTs and you are solo gorge, its almost impossible to spend all your res. you gain 14 before you finish building the structure you dropped!

I had one wierd game on ns_caged earlier on where we had 1 gorge and movement chambers had been built first by the other gorge. Then i went gorge to block the vent door and immediatly got 100 res! I went and built the hive and immediatley got 100 res back! The other gorge then went to generator hive and the same thing happened! No matter what we did we had 100 res all the time and soon had 3 hives in under 6 mins of starting the game!

that's some kinda known 2nd round bug, i believe.

Hundres of spare resources at the start of a round? That's not a beta-1.04 bug, that's a flat-out cheat.

Aliens can constantly use resources up to the end of a round, bulding healing stations and evolving for the final attack.

For the original post, I suspect other players were taking upgrades and spending their resources. I usually save for hive after holding 4 resources, and frequently get 4-5 per tick. With double the resources, you'd not only get res faster but be guaranteed that all other players fill up quickly too.

it sounds like your team was maxed on RP, but there was no gorge, so the hive collected the overflow untill there was an alien who needed it, such as a new Gorge ...

Multi-gorges do not get more total res, however after about 4-5 res towers one gorge cannot really spend it fast enough (provided he's working on hives/res towers.). Whenever I gorge I always seem to hover around the 80 res mark in my personal stockpile.

cant spend it quick enough?<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>? let me gorge!!!!!!

I normally dont let it get up over 30-40 unless im saving to spam or put a hive up.
If u have 80 res try stacking oc's and dc's everywhere .
And then if u have 80 still, go onos.
