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 using rocket silo:
What are best of this block:
1. Easy to start and easy to improvement - in early game just start with standard quality, then just replace buildings with higher quality without moving/rebuilding anything else on base up to Legendary, then just build another block in other place, and another one... very simple to scale.
2. We have just fruits, nuts, seeds and science pack on the belts - all of them have pretty large spoilage time - the rest of things will be transferred from building to building - it is fastest way ever. So your science pack will be as fresh as possible.
3. All you need - to produce science pack a bit faster then anything else, and you will never get eggs spoiled to pentapods. But you can put a few laser turrets on borders.
4. In my setup, when everything is legendary, you need approximately 4 agricultural towers of fruits and 2 of nuts per such block. Also I have some logic near the agriculture towers, that put fruits/nuts only when they are less then X on the belt. Manually set X to have a small line directly near build block, instead of fill the whole belt - it will increase freshness of science pack:
X depends on belt length, so it should be set manually for each setup:
5. On gleba you will receive pretty fresh science pack:
I have managed enough input/output hatches and rocket silos to get up to 94-95% in Nauvis biolab. I do not left anything on Gleba, so I process spoiled packs on Nauvis, so almost have no big spoil recycling on Gleba. only on Nauvis.
6. End-game (legendary) output of such block is approximately 7k/min of science pack.
Any comments are welcome.
