Thanks Medusalem and Blake. Appreciate those builds. Crazy how much that one EC factory outputs. Never played too much with beacons. Fun stuff.

Jumping into this conversation to agree with statement that biter respawning is practically non-existant on default RSO.

You need to have gotten construction bots up and running, preferably electric furnaces (though steel would be a fun cha...
