You want to venture off and create a new base 10,000 tiles in a random direction.
Its end game, you have 10,000 of every item available except for modules, alien artifacts, science packs, rocket defense, FishSandwich's, and .12 end-game content.
If you want, you can take a vehicle of your choosing to drive the distance.

What do you pack in your inventory/toolbelt and your vehicle?

(as if you were starting a new game with a huge head start of items, so building the production to labs would be a requirement)


i would take 2000 solar panels/accumulators. 2 stacks of substations, 8 stacks of batterys, 750 lasers and 750 walls in my tank. (100 tank shells and piercing rounds , with solid fuel as fuel)
My inventory would consist of 10 stacks of iron/copper/gears/greencircuits, 4 stacks of red, 2 stack of blue. 4 stacks of inserters, 2 stacks of fast, 1 stack of smart and long.
4 stacks of electric furnaces, 3 stacks of assembling machine 2, 1 stack of assembling machine 3.
2 stacks of mining drill, 4 stacks of fast belts, 2 stacks of express belts, 1 stack of fast splitters, 1 stack of fast to underground-belts.
and some train stuff

My list although, is made on the spot of this post, Could be different but just going off memory right now.

I would recommend going in the game, putting all the stuff in your character/vehicle, and taking a screenshot.

Hmmm... I think i wouldn't take any iron, copper, coal or stone as you can mine it easily wherever you land, and 50-100 per stack isn't that much. Why not take logistic and construction bots instead, so you can set the new factory up more easily? Also, better take some high tech products like advanced circuits and processors, because they are hard to produce. Or simply more miners so you can get the rest more easily. And I think 200/300 belts won't get you far.

If you like to take iron, take iron gears instead, because that way you get 2 times the material (and gears are always needed anyway).

5000 rails
350 signals
350 large power poles
1 locomotive to drive back

Then I would do it again to lay down a second track. After that I can ship in whatever I need.

I've actually done this already. My factory is modular enough that I can blueprint the whole thing and shove all the building materials into a car's trunk. The only thing it's missing is external miners, pumping jacks, and offshore pump.

That is uh... Totally epic! You know have hit late game when you can just blueprint and rebuild your factory in one swoop. Haha

As for what I would bring in this situation: I can't think of everything off the top of my head, and can't get into the game at the moment, but probably like 1-2k solar panels and accumulators, 100-200 of every inserter, 2 stacksor so of Assembly machines (lvl 2 or 3), 2 stacks of electric furnaces, like 10 stacks of green circuits, iron, and copper plate. 2 stacks of medium electric poles, 1 stack of roboports, 5 stacks of each robot, and then lastly probably 2-3 stacks of red/blue circuits. Oh and 10 or so Chem plants, and refineries.
All I can think of right now. Haha

Using a 1080 monitor, It will take over 3 blueprints for me to make my base, And who knows what kind of trouble with tree's and water i might come into... lol
