I got 1 platform per item transported between 2 planets. Its very easy to make the logic work then, it just costs more materials to get the platforms up.


Curious, how many platforms you end up with doing this?


Ugh I dunno, prolly less than 20 for material hauling. Usually they deliver 5 ...

I got 1 platform per item transported between 2 planets. Its very easy to make the logic work then, it just costs more materials to get the platforms up.

I fill the void with more factory.

I got 3 space mining platforms above Aquilo (and a ton of various productivities researched). They work fine, designing them was way more fun than designing my other space miners.

When overproducing agricultural science, do I take freshest first or spoiled first from the cargo landing pad? For best research rate? Does it make a difference?

I do plan from the start, leaving space to grow bits where more production is needed. Unfortunately I always run into space issues sooner or later, then I have to remake the factory.

I dont have a supply chain, my blueprint lets bots load the turrets initially

Does that still work for you? I'm pretty sure a recent patch made that impossible. At least I can no longer get it to work.


You mean if it works in general? I have an old blueprint that I use, no idea if I can ...

I have a large area (larger than my spore area), covered by gun turret blocks 25 each, with red ammo (I dont have a supply chain, my blueprint lets bots load the turrets initially). I got roboports for vision and logistics. I got a few spidertrons with rockets, with those I clear nests when I have ...

Today's update (2.0.43) might be the fix for this. Something about the Asteroid spawn depending on everything else that happens first, it sounded like they made the asteroid spawning more important to fix it or something.


Hmmm I think this will help analyzing what is wrong with the platforms ...

I have some space platforms that get hit once every few days and I have no idea what hits them. How to deal with this?

So far I've been doing weapon upgrade research and quality upgrades for turrets... At some point the platform stops getting hit. Then I design a new one, it seems to work, I mass ...

For me it was sort of a psychological barrier, always needing to use up agricultural packs because making them at the start was a pain. At some point (as suggested above) I just upscaled them and started letting the unused ones rot. From then on I had no issue with them spoiling, they just get made ...

Just make sure your platform doesnt get stuck on Nauvis due to some condition, or else the eggs start to hatch. I have laser turrets in reach and the platform produces repair packs, so even in this case its OK... but the platform will consume eggs for no reason.

My inserter throws away eggs only if the destination planet is not Nauvis. So when I get the last egg shipment, they are not used (not enough prometheum chunks), the platform starts going to the next planet, the inserter starts removing the eggs.

To pipe in on peaceful Gleba, my factory and plantations have not been attacked for a few months now. My factory is kinda small though (2 maxed out harvesters, 5 biochamber blocks producing agricultural packs, 1 of which also dumps bioflux). Also a space mining based block to produce rocket part ...

Quality and the new automation machines with built-in productivity, plus handling byproducts and spoilage. I feel there are now more ways to build your factory and I'm happy due to it.

Asteroids have that and they are mega boring to deal with. I prefer having options to having no options.

That'd be great.

Not coming from the more memorable/spectacular angle... But my prometheum platforms are taking damage once in a blue moon and I have no clue what is missing. I'm never watching the ship when it takes damage, so I dont know what to add to it to prevent the damage. Would be nice if there was some way ...

Does negative quality increase starting spoilage percentage when an item is crafted?

Being unlucky is a possibility, but the usual suspect is speed beacons affecting the recycler. What does the recyclers tooltip say about quality? It should state sometime like "Quality: 24.8%" assuming 4 legendary quality 3 modules.

+24.8% quality, -20% speed.
