Extractor Dust Questions
I've got a few questions regarding extractor dust production that I'm hoping someone may be able to answer for me.
-
Does the extra dust apply to buildings that are built on the edge of the white zone? Basically when the extractors show the white-bordered dust area will a building that is built right on the white hexes marking the area be affected or does it need to be inside of the area? I assume the answer is yes based on how dome and drone hub radii work but I want to check.
-
Does the amount of the building that is inside the zone matter? Does a building that has one hex inside the zone receive the same extra dust as one that is completely inside of the zone?
-
Is it possible to build two or more extractors so that they are harvesting the same resource but not getting dust on each other? As near as I can tell this is only doable with concrete extractors but I wanted to ask.
-
Regarding concrete extractors does it matter if the concrete digging field is inside of the dust radius of another extractor or does the dust buildup only apply if the concrete building itself is inside of the radius?

They have to be in the grid, not bordering it. It's either in or out, there's no increased buildup for being "more in". As long as both extractors are outside each others dust grid then they won't dust each other. I believe the field doesn't count.
Thanks for the response. Regarding the first question though I think I might have been a bit unclear. Are the white hexes that form the border of the zone considered to be in or out of the zone?

Thanks! It sounds like you can put multiple extractors around a single resoruce then (at least for water extractors) since putting the corner of the extraction zone on the resource puts the center of the building just outside of the waste zone.
