My 4.2k legendary SPM save
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2025 11:19 am
Posting my save as a conclusion of this quality-heavy run. It produces all science packs except agricultural / promethium as legendary, at 4.2k SPM, translating to 580k eSPM.
Selected screenshots:
Nauvis hub and science numbers, there isn't much to unload due to the high density of legendary science. Agricultural packs are air-lifted directly to lab so bots fly everywhere:
My inventory request and gear stash at Nauvis (0,0) for anyone loading the save. With quality at this scale, all these things are quite cheap:
While making this post, I had a belt contamination accident and science stalled for a while. This showcases the research auto-scaling in my lab blocks, which is required for the recycle-science-pack-at-1% trick. It also shows my stash and my dashboard for monitoring things:
Vulcanus base producing almost everything. I ended up upgrading railgun damage / shooting speed just for one-shotting big demolishers at bad angles:
The "easy" sciences, just spaghetti from legendary raw material:
Upcycling tungsten from common materials, quite bad for UPS but have to deal with it for metallurgic science:
Ore washer for epic / legendary coal, needed a lot of this for military science grenades:
Legendary grenade setup. Coals are washed to epic, then upcycled into legendary grenades. Each row has 77 legendary assembler 3s, and they barely fill an unstacked blue belt. The epic iron is from asteroid reprocessing:
Legendary wall setup. Wash calcites to epic and upcycle wall. Each epic calcite becomes 1 legendary wall, much more efficient than grenades:
Bot-based on-demand Gleba, not legendary but quite fresh (95% at labs):
Fulgoran hub, quite compact. The backed up holmium plate belt is completely legendary:
Fulgoran holmium island. EM plant upcycling can be quite compact thanks to all the advanced stuff recycled from scraps:
Aquillo. Just a normal starter base except that all ice cubes are imported from an asteroid roller ship:
The asteroid processing ship producing iron ore and sulfur:
My quantum processor upcycler for carbon fiber, one of the most complex spaghetti I made:
