However, labs do not implement that, as they are not derived from CraftingMachinePrototype .

That link points to data.raw, which just says which concrete (non-abstract) class a given prototype falls under - i.e. steel-furnace is under the FurnacePrototype class.

The decals will be visible until:

Lubricant or Refined Concrete is no problem on Vulcanus, but you might bring some (lubricant in barrels) to bootstrap things.

You can pickup all the rocks (construction bots and personal roboport is helpful), which gives you a decent amount of ores and stone of all kinds.
No need to place miners on ...

... since the Foundries make so much material when run with Speed beacons - out of free Lava! Stone is a byproduct; very useful for the Brick/Concrete chain ;) Oil requires a bit more setup via Coal Liquefaction - either the normal recipe that takes a bit of barreled Heavy Oil to kickstart the ...

... I'm wondering how to tackle it. Foundries can only be crafted on that planet from what I have read, however they require lubricant and refined concrete. Thus should I just import those materials every time I need to craft them? There is also the matter of demolishers. How do you guys take care of ...

... with an automatic item requester using signals and interrupt-based train schedule.
It all mostly works as expected, but once I switched from concrete names (ITEM Load) to wildcarded (X Load), the wait condition (X >=3) no longer works, because X is not replaced with ITEM.

This is still very bothersome, in particular to us speedrunners. But I can assure that my chat is consistently not understanding why force print is not working on Aqilo on arrival. I also happened to be confused on that on my first playthrough.

Thank you for the report, fixed for 2.1

2. Go to Gleba in any way.
3. Find and go to a green biome.
4. Place a ghost of an Overgrowth yumako soil.
5. Place a ghost of a Concrete on top of it in the same location.
6. Create a blueprint of this tile. The blueprint must contain two objects in the same cell: Overgrowth yumako ...

The question is really about the specific meaning of the text on the wildcard signals. To give a concrete example, we have:

It says it will match the first signal that passes all wait conditions. I'm assuming it means the wait conditions for the interrupt. If so, then ...

Metal you can convert to iron only and smelt these, Then use legendary plastic to craft legendary LDS and then just scrap those to get steel and copper.
Calcite is for getting legendary stones which you can make bricks and concrete out of.

... when trying to get trees close to pollution sources (seemingly the best way to absorb pollution), it's also annoying when you're tearing up concrete and can't tell whether there will be natural soil or landfill beneath it.

I suggest a new nauvis soil type, Overgrowth Nauvis Soil. This recipe ...

Actually, foundation can’t be placed anywhere on Aquilo

It's very likely that I just already knew to put down ice platform and concrete from reading that I was meant to in the factoriopedia + tips and tricks briefing on aquilo.

Maybe another improvement could be something pointing ...

This is still a problem in every playthrough and people struggle to understand why they cannot force print on aquilo water.

For a concrete example of how this was bothering me, I included a speaker in my quality crafter which made an alert when parameter 0 (legendary) > 0 . Within the ...

However, when replacing water with another surface, ie. concrete, that graphic does not change and it keeps "looking odd" to other parts of the wall, even if the water is no longer visible
