I like the idea of using 1 platform per planet, static most of the time to complement with ressources from space, and using interrupts to have them fetch what be missing from a planet, like when tungsten plate or calcite is 0, go to Vulcanus and come back.

Not quite: you just need to get your first couple of eggs, from which you can then craft your own captive biter spawners and place them closer to your space hub. I don't think you can craft captive biter spawner without fluoroketone and Aquilo's technology though, so you can't do that when you unlo...

Correct me if i'm wrong but in order to have your first biters spawners you need to capture some wild nests. Thus if you kill all biters and relegate them to a distant corner of the map, you will have to go to such corner to capture them, and then establish a needlessly long logistic supply of biofl...

I don't think it's wrong to say that any platform can use direct insertion, big or small. I think it's fairly obvious that direct insertion builds can have more throughput in the same footprint as less dense build. But i think it's irrelevant in this context because having 2 or 3 or 4 builds with d...

Why is footprint and throughput considered as being in opposition? That seem fairly obvious to consider that a bigger platform can have larger throughput because there is more room to process things on it x) If you want the highest throughput in general, then you probably want direct insert rather ...
