There are 4 planets in the inner solar system. This is built to travel efficiently between those.

Thanks, that looks much better! I de-teched it, fixed the missing cable and balanced it a bit. https://factoriobin.com/post/u6ancx

Not good at IPA, but the letter swapping is common in Finland, Sweden and eastern Norway?

What kind of female do you like? Hot female every day and every night!

Oh man, I just got to Gleba. That song is going to loop constantly in my head for my entire time there now.

Oh it is weak :) It works, but everything is running slow due to low power.

Of course! I retrofitted it to blue belts right after posting the picture, but de-teched and cleaned it up a bit:

I’d recommend the following changes to use it with cheaper tech:

• Remove two thrusters to put less load on the turrets
• Change inserters to yellow - it does not need anything faster
• Remove two smelters to work reasonably with regular panels
• Reduce to yellow belts - it does not need anything faster
• remove walls and supports on the sides to reduce cost - all the potential problems hit the front

Notes on usage:

• If setting up automation, the decider logic will give you a ✔️=1 signal to indicate it is fueled up and has enough ammo for a return trip
• If you have less bullet damage research than I did, consider reducing it down to one thruster
• If it’s still struggling with production on Fulgora orbit, just make it return after 30 seconds or so - it has enough bullets stockpiled to get back

Before rare panels I had to disable two smelters. It still worked but was slow as heck to restock.

They are there on the odd chance that a small asteroid manages to sneak past my turrets. A smashed wall is easily replaced, but a smashed part of infrastructure is disaster.

It’s fine! Been making 30 fully automated round trips so far. :)

Fuel tanks are exactly enough. Solar is running a bit weak in Fulgora, but it is enough for production to run so it refills itself.

Yes

Shit I have 1.5 hours left and I just got to Vulcanus

Apart from the pure gameplay balance aspect, the artillery cannons are made from tungsten alloys to make them wear resistant. Earth has naturally occuring tungsten, Nauvis doesn’t. :)

I solved it by going triple overkill with turrets and ammo stockpile during parking.

Nice! My first-ship mistake was to fill it to the brim with engines, so it faceplanted every single asteroid at light speed before the guns could handle them or even reload

I realized the cargo landing pad provides radar without power. A remote driven tank with roboport might be able to do some emergency maintenance.

His legacy will live on as iron chunks for the next space platform to harvest. Immortality in the cause of the expanding factory.

It works well enough for me. Remember you can also have a space station parked and drop infinite ice from space. :)

Oh, interesting! I went halfway for a thin approach but think I went too wide when I needed to fit more stuff.

Yeah, that sounds like a safe stockpile.
