So I know that if you explore in bulk at 28a/turn you get 28a/turn for all turns spent in the bulk explore.

Does tech work the same way? Will my tech % stay where it is for all turns spent in a bulk explore?

tech% drops during batchexplore unless your tech% is high or land gotten is low.

if you have 200% agritech and then you do 86-366 turns batchexplore then your tech% can drop quite a much.

use techcalc http://www.eestats.com/techcalc to see how much your tech% drops after each gain of land.

Thanks Marshal

I am highly doubrful about bulk exploring.

OK you get an extra acre a turn but your building costs go up quite a bit. Plus you tend to get landfat and attract predators.

No doubt someone has done the arithmetic balancing gain against loss, I certainly haven't. But my instincts are that it is a bad idea.

I only do it in express.. from 1400 to 2800, and sometimes 3600 to 7200.

Only because after the explore you still have hundreds of turns on hand and usually a ton of cash/goods to sell, and with short market trip times you can squeeze in a bunch exploring with very low defense.. not sure if the lack of upkeep costs outweighs building costs, but im still messing around with it.

you should do bulk explore from 1900 - 3800, because the explore rate only drops after 1920 acres or something for non reps.
