I have now reached Aquilo and started to look around there. To be honest, it's currently sucking my desire to continue playing out of me a bit, because it's so unmanageable what I need there.

It says in the description that you have to import a lot. As far as I can see, you really have to import everything. Even parts for rockets to get the science packs back up to the platform? The only thing that should work locally is rocket fuel.

Apart from that, I'm trying to figure out what I need to carry.
Material for rocket silos and rockets. (1000 steel, 200 blue chips, 200 electro engines, 100 pipes, 1000 concrete)
Cargo landing pad.
Concrete + steel concrete
Heating Towers and heatpipes.
Assembly machines
Chemical plants
belts, inserters, pipes, power poles and chests.
all parts for a nuclear reactor and fuel
lots of Holmium plates for the cryo stuff
superconductors
pumpjacks, water pump, + pumps, tanks for automation

Anything else important that I have forgotten? The flight there and back is something I don't want to keep repeating. That's why I don't want to forget anything.

I think you have to make a ship that can handle the flight there and back. Because you will need tungsten plate, and you probably will want to ship fusion cell out, and rail guns, and fluoroketone for those fusion reactor.

A good ship with some rocket turrets, doesn't have to be fast, if you make it larger capacity for the science packs in one way, and the holmium rocket parts tungsten and other things in the other way will be useful

It truly is. Because without you cannot progress.

1. One centrifuge for reprocessing. Fuel cells take 1.9 U238 but you can get .6 back. This avoids a few rockets of U238 later.

2. A few furnaces. You need them to make lithium plates. You can also smelt iron, copper, steel from your platform if you need a bit more.

3. A few solar panels. You need to melt ice to get water to use heat exchangers/turbines. Forgot this my first run but had the resources to make a few to kickstart. The oceans are ammonia.

4. Modules. I always bring efficieny-1 as they are cheap and helpful to run most things compact. Some production ones for science too.

5. Cargo hub/bays.

6. I brought a roboport for my own logistics and construction. Not using it much for the factory due to the 5x cost. Robots too.
