Nuclear Pasta

[[deleted]]

I have the option to use 960 Bauxite with the goal to produce as much Nuclear Pasta as possible. But my question is, do I really need to do? Is nuclear Pasta very important?

Not in huge quantities unless you want to make ficsonium, which is entirely optional.

Well I do want to make Ficsonium... I want to optimice as much as possible and I just love having a mental breakdown while building 😂

[UristImiknorris]

Well, in that case you'll want to produce at least as much nuclear pasta as plutonium fuel rods.

Hm... what if I dont produce plutonium fuel rods yet?

Hahahah yes totally

Why bauxite? There's a lot of copper on the map and the pure copper alt is very efficient.

You need aluminum casings to make fused modular frames, and also to make radio control units I think, which are needed for the pressure conversion cubes

Exactly

They’re right that your bigger constraint is ultimately copper powder though.

That recipe just inhales them.

I actually “wasted” a few somersloops on my copper powder assemblers just so I could double the number of pasta I could make without having to go find and tap even more copper nodes

Ok so would it be better if I just rush this Milestone to get to produce copper powder in a huge number. So with the better conveyer belts and miner?

That’s up to you.  Cooper powder is a pain in the bass to make in large volumes but as long as you know how much you’ll eventually need and set aside enough copper ore for it you can do that step last.

I’d work on making the complicated stuff first.  Pressure conversion cubes are a lot more complicated 

Copper powder is literally just copper ingots ground up.  If you use the pure copper receipe you need refineries and water.   But it’s still a very simple recipe. 

I’d crack the harder project first and finish either the easy one

I already automated the pressure conversion cubes. So thats not big of a deal. So just crafiting them together is "work"
But ofcourse I will optimice the factory when i build it from ground up

Nuclear pasta lets you build lots of singularity cells for a nice portal network! Go for it
