Design is HIGHLY vertically scalable, I think it can works with thousands of legendary labs and process ~400k real spm at the end.

What do you think?

p.s. yes, it is tankbelt

$90 can go very far in video gaming. I cannot remember the last time i paid anywhere close to $90 for a computer game, its just out of touch.

I do like that me questioning the $90 price of a game gets me being accused of being a bad father. Nice bunch of people we have here.


Maybe it is ...

My solution for mid-game and later

1. Trains are really not effective in Space Age. 90% of goods (iron/copper ore, plates, gears, cable) - not need to be transported. They are moved to pipes and can be crafted in-place. The rest goods (mostly coal and stone) can be transported with belts or ...

I vehemently disagree with the assertion of bots not becoming the limiting factor for UPS. I'm currently approaching 30k SPM for all off-Nauvis sciences, but by far and away the biggest bottleneck is getting them from the landing pad to my labs. Running this process with bots drops my UPS ...

I am using just a single belt for all asteroids, and just reprocess to what I need. It is really fast and I am using only solar panels for my aquilo ship, so do not see any issues. Just research your turrets damage and asteroid productivity

Support my 10-reactors setup easily (actually 90%+ of time this setup is sleeping)
Priority Uranium-238 from depleted fuel cells
Have small dashboard with reactor temp, water and steam

I have managed with a single chemical plant and reassembled for a higher speed to make in 8-cells width.
So the size decreased to 71.6 tons
Not sure how much is stable, but was able to reach Vulkanus and returns back to Nauvis without problems

Just found a way to use single chemical plant with stable control

Players like this guy telling wube that it's fine are high-risk - wube could put out a shit sandwich and this guy would dedicate another full work-year becoming shit sandwich connoisseurs and desperately try to sell you a shit sandwich when you directly complained about the shit in your sandwich ...

72.4, speed stabilized

I found a cool idea how to control asteroids with a single constant combinator, so new size is 72.6:

And I know that it is possible put all logic to a single decider combinator, so the minimum possible ship should be 72.2, but still not managed to do that.
Need to ...

New version - 73.6 tons

Just want to share video

I have started with belts to exchange all items.
Then I tried to use chests as building-to-chest transferring is much faster, but chests are small and can't connect many building.
So I have switched to cargo vagon, where you can use filters, but it is also not comfortable
So in final blueprint I am ...

If you want more holmium - you need more scrap. This is fact. So the only way to get more specific items - process more scrap.
Here is my idea, which is pretty scalablem especiall when you have fundament to bring multiple belts from source.

in my case it is 4 stacked ...

So, with Legendary Centrifuge and Legendary Beacons it can easily support 20-30 legendary nuclear reactor (I have 14 and 90% of time it just sleeping)

* Small dashboard just to check that reactor temperature and that water/steam are available
* Separate chests for 235 ...

I have 5 sections integrated in ship, each of section is pretty optimized. And I have few extra lines, which allows to send asteroids directly to another section in parallel, which allows me to reduce time need to fill storage.
The same with science pack - some extra way to get asteroids in parallel ...

Do not see how easily it can be scale

More scrap - more holmium

After some time playing Factorio, I realized that maximum "non-megabaze" size is limited with two green stacked belt.

First of all two green belts pretty easy to produce, instead of three and more belts.
Second part - hab output. With some tricks I was able to connect 40 legendary stack inserters ...

I think that multi-mall should be built using drones and simple logic.
Why I think so? Because
1. The main production of Factorio - science packs, so all the rest can be built without high level of performance, so not need to create a huge factory. Maybe a separate production point for things like ...
