Crystal Extractor Placement: Two-Tile Rules That Protect ROI
Place the Crystal Extractor once, place it right. Follow the two-tile rules, avoid rebuilds, and keep shards/hr stable across ships.
Two-Tile Placement Rules
- Sloop: Right next to the helm, side-by-side.
- Skiff: Back-right diagonal, counting two tiles from helm.
- Galleon: Two tiles east; confirm with ghost placement before building.
These placements keep you manned and avoid the 3M GP rebuild risk.
Why Correct Placement Pays
ROI Stability
Correct placement keeps shard/hour within the expected 8–15 range, cutting payback time.
Helm Control
Staying within two tiles means you never abandon the helm to empty, protecting speed.
Barracuda Ready
Short reach and 5-tick empties are safer under trial pressure.
How to Place Correctly
- Use ghost placement; count tiles from the helm.
- Rotate the preview to confirm no diagonal slips.
- Run a 5-minute shard test; ensure no helm un-manning happens.
Keep cargo ≤70% during tests to measure true shard/hour.
