>>6082497Surprisingly I think we can answer almost all of those questions. It should be said that how STCs work is kept intentionally vague but nanites have been a mainstay throughout the series, so trying to guess at the cost in nanites isn't a bad idea. I remember laughing when Newb said that making a bunch of dreadnaughts and cruisers and frigates would deplete the pulsar system of resources but a planetary system with three worlds, even if they are as small as mercury and there is no other rocky material in system would have nearly 1x10^24 kg of material to work with. Of course, not all that is iron. Sol system has 30% iron content. The pulsar system is higher in heavy elements, so maybe half of it is useable by Ody so you're talking about maybe 80 trillion sword class frigates worth of mass. Many times more if you destroy the star and mine that.
> how many liters of nanites per hour we can produce?Dependent on the size of our production.
> what is needed to increase nanite production capacity?Increasing production capacity.
> can we produce rares from nanites?> how can we produce or obtain more rares?That would make them not very rare. We got rare ores from the Pulsar system before.
> what is our current stockpile of each?Probably 0 rares or very few. We have a lot of common ore inputs for making nanites though.
