Don't worry, you only need 3 devices to finish the game:
Sun device: can be obtained after Mycon is dead.
Talking pet: can be retrivied after Umgah is dead.
Utwig bomb: can be taken after Utwig is dead.

Yeah, I was mildly spoilered my first time through the game, and I *did* make pretty good use of my time -- even so, I was on the brink of winning only to see the terrifying sight of the Kohr-Ah sphere of influence creeping around the map and making the Zoq-Fot-Pik go *foop*. It was depressing enough that I decided to start over rather than let the ZFP be dead (and besides, I still hadn't done the Shofixti quest or gotten around to the Mycon quest).
It's very easy to be tempted into over-mining the first time around. Best thing is to value time over perfect efficiency or maximum RU; quick-'n-dirty mining rather than exhaustive, anal-retentive mining is enough to get you through the game.

Then of course, when you get more experienced, you can sort of "extend" the circle to include Delta Touri.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

But that's perfectly justified by Hayes' advice: he recommends hot stars ((hot to cold: )white, blue, green, yellow, orange, red) as very rich. The tauri constellation is almost entirely blue and white. It looks very attractive even without pre-knowledge.

And said strategy only bothered with one rainbow world, and that was just because I had a few days leeway before hopping in the naturally occurring portal. By the time you can get to the nearest rainbow world, you already have enough resources to win the game.

Actually - As long as you know what you are doing - you don't need any RU's. Just try playing without a starbase and you get a whole other twist to the game......

Not the best advice for a newbie who wants to play the game through without cheating (which I really, heartily recommend; this is a game worth experiencing cold).
