[https://www.youtube.com/@Astyrrean Mechan] just released a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptbm36DMl9Y video describing how two economies can interact] at one body. Basically, the ''input'' to an economy also matters. Industrial economies consume a lot of metal. If you have a body with Refinery and Industrial economies, much of the output from the Refinery will be consumed by Industry. To get a lot of output from a Refinery, it should be paired with an Extraction economy. | [https://www.youtube.com/@Astyrrean Mechan] just released a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptbm36DMl9Y video describing how two economies can interact] at one body.

If you want to see what facilities are generating that market, sort the stations by distance and look at the facilities that are 118 Ls from the star. (Apologies if I have "Matt Sweeny Tony" wrong: Mechan said it once, quickly, and the name isn't written in the video's notes.) | ||
There are probably other synergies as well. For instance, an economy that produces chemicals might boost production from Agriculture. Folks will need to test these out to see what economies boost other economies. Folks will also need to test to see which economy pairs don't interact. | There are probably other synergies as well.
