Ok so has anyone figured out the sweet spot for numbers of supply pads/harvesters and generators/extractors? I’ve read that 7 was for blue resources and 4 for yellow. But I always seem to have fewer resources then my teammate or opponents. Btw I upgrade all of them. Just trying to figure out how many is enough before I start making less.

If you have 7 supply pads and your teammates have 8 supply pads they will of course gather more resources than you. That doesn’t mean they’re doing the best investment in the short term.
i depends on your build say if im marine rushing im going to focus on harvesters.Also grab nodes
or 2 supply 1 power 1st teir 3supply 2 power 2nd teir 5 supply 3 power 3rd teir
What is the actual rule of thumb for Diminishing Returns? Is it a percentage that is reduced over time in the game or something? I guess ive never really looked into it, I just knew that I wasn’t going to be able to get the same supply income at some point lol.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. If I have 10 supply pads, am I making supplies faster or slower than my teammate who has 7. The thought of finished returns is beyond dumb to me. If I want 2 bases with nothing but supply pads, why can’t it make more then anyone else and faster? Each supply pad should generate X amount per minute regardless of how many. But if I build 10 and now I’m only get 50%, then I’m not sure that’s useful.

Agree with this whole completely, and would like to know as well

Who knows really,the fact that they’re diminished returns baffles me,it should be like halo wars 1

I guess it’s so that comebacks are a little more possible. There’re ups and downs to that of course.
Diminished returns are apart of the game because resources cannot be exhausted like in some RTS where you extract them from the map.
The percentages, as far as I understand, vary with each supply pad or generator built.
Back in season 1, or even before, someone had determined the exact percentage break down. I had it saved once but have since lost it. However the rate of diminishing returns has been changed (I think season 2) and maybe has since then as well.
With that said I find I have enough income to macro the way I want with 7ish supply pads and 3-4 generators. However as an Atriox player I can afford this quite easily and quickly. It may not be the same for other leaders.
