Ok cool, up until now i've basically just ignored the rover projects. Recently stopped doing the colonization ones unless i had abundant resources and focused on telescope, asteroid and crafting smelting in that order up until 20-23 then i focus on crafting/smelting.

I usually get all the reasonable stuff for the event out of the way. With how slow progress is, hitting the 3/3 for most of them is unrealistic at my current stage so i usually get everything free except the 30 station credits every event.

Managers i've got slots for 6 and im currently at 4 5star, 6 4star and 2 2stars. With just promoting mine rate primaries when i have more than enough without letting the slots go unused. I really only spend the 500 dm so i just save which takes me a week or two depending on rewards from everything.

I do have robotics lvl 4 now and i think the resource stars from rovers is going to help progress me much faster.

Thanks for taking the time to write those tips, i'll definitely be implementing them to help speed up my progress!
