Does the Observatory's chance to auto-observe increase as you build more of them?
I'm hoping what I'm seeing is just confirmation bias and not how the game actually works, so I'm asking and hoping more analytical minds can assuage my fears. It seems like, with eleven Observatories, quite fewer than 11% of my rare astronomical events are automatically being observed. It was my assumption that each Observatory would add 1% to my chance to auto-observe, and so at 100 Observatories I would automatically generate a starchart (and some science) from every event (and have lots of them!). Isn't this right?
Does building more Observatories increase your chance to auto-observe, or is the base chance the limit?
Best Answer
Yes, each observatory adds 1% to the auto-observe chance for astronomical events. This will allow you to accumulate starcharts while letting the game run overnight, but don't plan on getting this chance very high with observatories; there's a lategame upgrade (SETI) that fixes your auto-observe chance at 100%, regardless of observatories.
