That takes a lot more in terms of inputs.

I think all I had was iron, copper, steel, and maybe a bit of carbide.
I used coal, but it never made it to the main bus.

Different planets have different asteroid compositions. I got water-locked in orbit around Fulgora (no water for the nuclear on my platform). The solution was to send some ice up from Fulgora by rocket, along with a few solar panels. A filtered ice output from the platform hub let me get some ice to...

At this point I don't have enough spoilage to fuel biochambers and my pentapod egg production died as a result. I'm not seeing any spore effects, but I'm also not producing a ton yet. I think I'm going to rely on nuclear or solar power and as few biochambers as possible. I finally got Bioflux up and...

The +50% on biochambers is nice, but they have to be fed nutrients, which are produced 50% spoiled, in order to function. Forcing biochambers for viability just increases the need to rely on robots instead of traditional production/belts, given how far apart the biomes are - at least on my map. Just...

I agree with this. The +50% on biochambers is nice, but they have to be fed nutrients, which are produced 50% spoiled, in order to function. Forcing biochambers for viability just increases the need to rely on robots instead of traditional production/belts, given how far apart the biomes are - at le...

Yep. Click on the oil refinery, and you'll see 100 petroleum and 100 light oil sitting there waiting to go somewhere. In the short term, you can just dump them into storage tanks, and your refinery will run for 250 production cycles or so before the tank fills up... or just set up a few chemical pla...

I like it, except stuff keeps getting backed up and I didn't make a provider/requester chest factory before leaving so it's hard to set up new stuff. I think my new strategy to try is going to be to dump all the excess plastic and gears in requester chests beyond the range of lightning protection, a...

I'm starting to get bits of Gleba figured out now. I think robot spam is going to be the way to go, especially given how far apart the tree biomes are, and how much water is in the way of running belts anywhere. If it takes circuit network programming to succeed, I'm screwed, as I've never been able...

Yeah, I found about two trees for each so far. They're really far apart, and since I was using bots to mass-deconstruct because I couldn't find anything, I'm not even sure what they look like.

You can't place a pumpjack on someplace that isn't an oil seep or sulphuric acid geyser. You can't place an offshore pump on land. Why is it possible to place an agricultural machine on an area where it can't grow anything? There is zero visual feedback indicating that a particular placement cannot ...

That's ground color, right? Not squares on the ground that appear when placing it?

how do you get seeds planted in the first place? I have a couple of tree-planter devices on "green" tiles (as opposed to orange), but they say "no spot seedable by inputs."

Thank you!

I'm using recycling to nothing. A lot less building is required on Fulgora, so I found it quicker to "solve" than Vulcanus, but not quite as much fun. I'm pretty sure I am going to end up with an imbalance since I have never figured out how to use the circuit network beyond enable/disable ...

1. What did you do? What happened? I noticed that the inventory on my space platform (Ram) was getting full, and blueprinted a couple of cargo pods to extend space. When I click on them in my inventory and then drop them onto the rocket's inventory slots, the game makes the correct sound for them b...

Is that the arm reading it, or is one of those combinator/decider things doing it?

Apparently you can't monitor the temperature in a nuclear reactor with a circuit connection. 7 tabs of "things you can check with a red/green wire" and none of them are temperature.

You can filter the asteroid grabbers... so for making iron for ammo and for steel, I only grab metallic chunks. No need to handle the others even if it is easy to drop them overboard. Oh, cool, I didn't know that. I've just been putting grabbed asteroids on a circular belt, and filtering to throw e...

Are these good for anything besides science? I haven't found any uses yet.

Kind of odd to end up with super-steel and whatever Holmium is, and then not be able to build anything with them.
