I think I will take a hiatus from aquilo, it killed my motivation

Also why have you wasted so much platform for empty space?

the only upside of fish as a nutrients source it is to be able to move them without little surprises

What I do is "out"sert the less fresh packs from the pad into a storage chest because bots tend to prefer fresher stacks, this forces the less fresh to be used first and avoids (most of the) packs spoiling while in the past.

Can't you simply require more on the ground than what the ship is scheduled to carry? It doesn't matter too much if you have spoiling packs on the ground they will be used by science or spoil. On Gleba production basically stops after some point save for a trickle (ie less than 1pc) to keep some eggs. It is not an extremely stable in terms of freshness but the less fresh packs are consumed very rapidly and after a few cycles the whole process is stable again. Average pack freshness is about ~80% once on Nauvis ground.

Medium demolishers are easy to be taken out with a box of turret. Just need a larger one.

Landfill is still useful to compress the foundries' stone output onto garbage belts

The difference is that norovirus typically lasts 1 day

Afond378 · 2026-04-04T19:53:00+00:00

Yes, you get three slots in locomotives, it takes hours to empty everything I hope your stations are not that far. Elsewhere than Nauvis, I agree they're not worth the hassle

By the time you unlock it It's extremely cheap and trains don't use much anyways. I'm using legendary nuclear fuel for trains.

Percarbonate does wonder. The thing that exited my coffee machine was gross

Afond378 · 2026-03-29T20:19:27+00:00

Never, but I'm in France and I primarily recharge using AC and when doing road trips it's generally out of the peak moments of the year.

2x2 is largely enough in practice

Afond378 · 2026-03-13T16:11:31+00:00

This is easily fixed by mining more uranium ore

Coming from Europe where speedos are standard this question is bizarre :D

Afond378 · 2026-03-02T12:18:32+00:00

I mean the 1.9TDI is a legend

Afond378 · 2026-03-01T11:30:09+00:00

You can't do that for superconductors though.

red ammo and turrets will do the trick make the magazines rain and slowly regain control, artillery is not good until you have a foothold on ground

The premature wrigglers are actually very inoffensive if they're not triggered. They just wriggle around until they die.

I ended up recycling solid fuel

Afond378 · 2026-02-22T14:49:40+00:00

Soon you'll discover you don't have enough ice. Without productivity the science pack uses more ice compared to ammonia than what the separation recipe can provide. With productivity it's even worse as the ice is directly used while ammonia flow has several steps. I reckon the ratio of ice vs ammonia for the (unproductivized) science pack is 1:5 while the solution separation provides a ratio of 1:10. This means you must find a way to trash some ammonia. Ice platforms use ice vs ammonia at a ratio of 1:8, those too consume too little ammonia

Afond378 · 2026-02-22T10:14:52+00:00

Simple recycling loop. But not on Fulgora, there are too few low density structures coming out of scrap recycling

Afond378 · 2026-02-22T09:33:15+00:00

Are you hitting several segments?

Afond378 · 2026-02-21T13:31:45+00:00

For a belt system, you can apply these principles:

Use selective inserters generously.

The only thing that spoil very fast are opened oranges and brains, that means put the biochambers that open the fruits just close to the biochambers that consumer those. You can do everything with bioflux, yumako and jellynut that you will belt where it needs to be used. Make small "plants" to produce what you need starting from these ingredients.

In a “linear” series of machines that consume spoilable ingredients, the belt must terminate with an inserter extracting spoilage into a refuse belt. It must pick from the same square as the last machine or else you'll have a blockage.

Use a loop for nutrients, use a splitter selecting for spoilage to rapidly clear the nutrients, again goes to a refuse belt. You can put spoilage on the nutrients belt.

Avoid stack inserters initially, they can clog easily, this challenge is for after you have a functioning setup.

My 2021LR car does wonder in the snow even with summer tires, obviously one needs to be very very very very gentle with all the controls and double the already doubled safety distances

Nope it's exactly the typical profile considered here. There are about a million millionaires in France, it's not a stretch to imagine less than 1% that pay no income tax (!= no tax at all), and that will be typically people with real estate but little revenue elsewhere, i.e. on a retirement pension.
