Science production balanced setups

Post by MBas »

Hello.

Let me present my latest platform dedicated for prodcution science pack in space platform

Image
Image
  • It produces 150 science packs per minute of red, green, and space science packs.
  • All packs consume 2.49333 iron per 1 copper ore, which is very close to the 2.5:1 ratio from the Advanced metallic asteroid crushing recipe.
  • It can operate on Navius, Vulcanus, or Gleba.
  • With full science production, it is still able to produce a small amount of ammo, about 10 per minute.
  • In case there is an overflow of iron ore (technically it may happen because of the 2.49333:1 ratio), it produces some extra ammo and throws it into space.
  • If the ammo on the outer belt is running low, ammo production is increased.
The motivation behind this was to made a reasonable platform utilizing Advanced metallic asteroid crushing recipe with a balanced ratio of copper and iron. Since white science packs need to be produced on the platform anyway, I found a solution to produce equal amounts of red and green science as well, given that they are commonly used together.

I am looking forward to seeing if you have any well-balanced science production setups. Please share! (They don't necessarily have to be from the platform.)

Good job on this!
I was playing with a similar idea in my head until now and it's nice to see somebody else realise it. My train of thought being that, since red + green science are free to create in space, why not move it there? The only reason i have not gotten to building that yet is because i want to take it a step further by adding propulsion and logic to the ship; based on the fact that you gain loads more resources from asteroids while travelling.

Logic like this:
- Red/green science is less than X
- Travel between planets Y and Z
- Red/green science is >= X
- Return to Nauvis and drop the payload
- Repeat

Maybe that is an interesting thought for you too.
