The best use I've come up with is inserting fuel into trains.
I've always found it annoying to run power to inserters for refueling trains. My trains are powered with nuclear fuel, not sure how long one fuel powers a burner inserter but it's an extremely long time.

Also as others have said, on aquilo ...

... and recycle - very cheap extra quality chances.

Vulcanus is now fusion powered, though I went a long way on steam from acid neutralization. It's very easy to stamp down another 192MW whenever you need it.

No trains yet but I'll probably put one in when I have to build the next tungsten mine.

Yeah, I was trying to fix power outage caused by disappeared signal. And on Gleba I need burnable materials which are made out of fruits. And to deliver fruits, I need trains loaded by inserters.

... long as they are on the same ground (planet), you can even add a self powered radar with a few solar cells and accumulators to very remote train stations.
You can then send signals based on the count of trains (which includes the trains on the way) going to the the loading and unloading stations ...

... The problem here is that spaceships are much more complicated than trains : there might be plenty of valid reasons for thrusters to end up out of fuel (at least temporarily), like undersized fuel production, automatic speed control or to prioritize water to turbines for nuclear-powered ships (or ...

C) The platform needs to be powered. Solar power works. I think the other option would be nuclear, with ...

In my games, I usually ended up with solid-trains that were two engines and four wagons, and liquid-trains that were only two or even one wagon long. The fluids were always more dense, for the recipes. I even did far away nuclear-steam-powered outposts, with a single solar panel to jump-start them ...

Thats pretty cool and all but I would lie if that image of a spaceship powered by a fusion reactor didn't make me want a space harbour.
