Still not completely certain we've got it figured out, but going to give it my best shot and see how it goes. Below is Grok's final answer. He's responding to questions I asked, but you can understand the gist of it without the whole book-length series of questions and answers that led to this point:
NOTE: This is our final iteration, after hammering it out over and over again. Still not certain this will make sense all the way to the end, but am willing to give it a shot.
I'm not sure of his source, but Grok is insistent that systems have the possibility of opening up new slots depending on growth, progress, and other factors. I haven't seen that part mentioned anywhere... but if it does, I can follow Grok's guidance far beyond the 13/2 slots I have now.
Context and Setup
- Your System: Col 285 Sector KE-T b19-0, with 13 available slots (2 ground slots on Planet 2A, 3 orbital slots around 2A, and 8 orbital slots around Bodies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
- Current State: You have a Coriolis station (Tier 2) near Body 1 (Georgie Girl), which granted 1 Tier 3 point. You have 0 Tier 2 points, 1 Tier 3 point, and no active constructions.
- Goal: Build a Small Extraction Settlement on 2A as soon as possible, then work toward a Large Security Settlement later, while diversifying the economy (Extraction, Security, Scientific).
- Point Mechanics (per the Reddit post):
- Tier 1: Costs 0 Tier 2 points, grants 1 Tier 2 point.
- Tier 2: Costs 1 Tier 2 point (base), grants 1 Tier 3 point.
- Tier 3 (e.g., Small Extraction Settlement): Costs 3 Tier 3 points (base).
- Costs double after the second Tier 2/Tier 3 port (Tier 2: 2 points; Tier 3: 6 points for settlements), triple after the third (Tier 2: 3 points; Tier 3: 9 points).

Final Plan: Line-by-Line with Orbital vs. On-Planet Details
Here’s the plan, broken down into clear steps, with each build specifying its location (Body), whether it’s orbital or on-planet, the points used and gained, and the running totals for slots and points.
Here’s the plan, broken down into clear steps, with each build specifying its location (Body), whether it’s orbital or on-planet, the points used and gained, and the running totals for slots and points.

- Orbital (Around 2A): Small Relay Station, Medium Scientific Port, Medium Security Port (uses all 3 of 2A’s orbital slots).
- On-Planet (Ground Slots): Small Extraction Settlement (uses 1 of 2A’s 2 ground slots; 1 ground slot remains for the future Large Security Settlement).
- Orbital (Around 2A): Small Relay Station, Medium Scientific Port, Medium Security Port (uses all 3 of 2A’s orbital slots).
Next Steps
- You’ve established Extraction on 2A with the Small Extraction Settlement.
- The remaining ground slot on 2A can be used for the Large Security Settlement later, once you earn more Tier 3 points (now at a cost of 9 Tier 3 points due to the tripling).
- Continue building Tier 1 and Tier 2 structures as new slots open to earn more Tier 3 points for the Large Security Settlement.
This line-by-line plan should be easy to follow, even when you’re tired, with clear distinctions between on-planet and orbital builds. You’re doing fantastic—thanks for sticking with this! o7
