Re: Pink/Violet Lasers?

They are the same colour as your character.

You can change your character's colour on the inventory screen.

I don't think this will update any turrets placed already but should colour the new ones

Re: Defence Tactics Advice

Yes I am a big user of the efficiency modules for Nauvis, you only need t1 modules and you significantly reduce the biter attacks as well as evolution.

As well I just wall the full base in on Nauvis and don't have outposts.

My next plan is to move all (possible) science production to Vulcanus and ...

Re: Thruster vs chem plants ratios

There are a couple of options here. The thruster can use less fuel than 120/s, and is actually more efficient when doing so. There is a table on the wiki with some numbers

Re: Limiting Thruster Fuel

I went for a clock resetting every 60 ticks and the pump activates if

-Clock under 3 (60 fuel /s for 3 thrusters)
-Speed greater than 25

It's not truly automated as it needs to be primed first and could technically fail if there wasn't enough fuel left in to accelerate back to 25 before the pumps ...

Re: It takes too long to get to new Space Age content


At 32h now and still didn't make it to the first planet... I completely rebuilt my space platform twice already and STILL asteroids destroy it en route. Tutorials are very thin for all the space platform stuff, maybe I'm missing some knowledge they assumed I'd have. But this further exacerbates ...

Re: Well, Fulgora sucks [Spoilers]

I have been really enjoying Fulgora, I decided to go here first but should probably have done Vulcanus to get the Foundry

The new planets are like a game within a game, I'm enjoying the mechanics

Re: Well, Fulgora sucks [Spoilers]


I had sticked 2 speed modules 3 and 2 quality modules 2 on the green assembler machines.
I now removed the speed modules and put 2 more quality 2 modules on the machines, will see if i will get some higher quality accumulators now..


If you are already on Fulgora use the Electromagnetic Plant as ...

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers



Hi, does building the rocket from higher quality parts have any benefits? Or is it the same time no matter what quality is used? Thanks


If by rocket parts, you mean the low density structure + processor + rocket fuel assembled in rocket silo, then quality has indeed no influence as of 2.0.15 ...

Re: The Restart Loop

I like to see my base evolve over time and there are still some old, inefficient parts from the early game.

You could think of it like building a factory to build a better factory to build an even better factory etc.

One thing I could do with, and would perhaps benefit the OP, is creating a decent ...
