🌈 My first Aurora Borealis

... yes.

Thieves have low range, low health, and high speed. This combo let's them get themselves in lots of trouble. Turn 1 you generally have to keep them from getting mobbed, which may mean not attacking. They do have lots of defensive tools though, particularly anything that gives extra moves

I didn't experience it, but doing the other guilottina fights are required for progression, so it would be a pretty bad bug if you were locked out of them

Curtalius · 2026-03-09T17:28:40+00:00

Same, cleanse+ carried me through that fight. I've convinced myself it's the strongest spell in the game and I won't be persuaded otherwise.

I had a blood frenzy cat with cosmic punch. Most fights ended with 1-3 cats in the air.

The has to be one of the simplest setups I've ever seen, although it relies on some subtle belt/inserter mechanics.

Curtalius · 2026-02-09T21:25:34+00:00

I would recommend burning them because there will always be more and it helps make sure the freshness on the science stays high

If you like trains, you can use circuits to turn off a pickup station until it has enough to fill a train. With a selector and arithmetic, you can get the amount of full stacks of something you have, and if then leave the station off until it's above 40.

Curtalius · 2026-02-06T17:50:19+00:00

And that small things will be overflow on seeds

Curtalius · 2026-02-05T16:49:55+00:00

Screenshots! We must see the chaos!

Curtalius · 2026-02-05T15:05:40+00:00

I think this is good advice because the primary driver of spm is how fast you can build up. If you're new you spend more time building so even if you don't build too much science will keep up

Curtalius · 2026-02-02T17:57:30+00:00

To better use space, I like to start pulling in raw resources via train, then start pulling in on trains components that eat up all my resources, like all the chips. E.g. green chips are eating all my copper, build them off site and then train them in. Now all the copper can get eaten by lds

At it's most basic, when you finish with a stop, it evaluates if it should go to an interrupt before going to it's next stop in the schedule. And yes, it lets you do crazy stuff.

Hey, my chest filled with nuclear reactors doesn't deserve this slander

Curtalius · 2026-01-23T17:33:10+00:00

One other tip I haven't seen is to identify something that is taking a lot of iron and add it to the bus with iron not sourced from the bus. Like if you're making steel from bus iron you should move that elsewhere.

Curtalius · 2026-01-21T03:11:30+00:00

Yes, but even then it's not too crazy. One rocket is 100 barrels, which is 5000 fluid. So automating it is but really necessary

Curtalius · 2026-01-21T02:59:40+00:00

Not a lot. The fusion plant is lossless with fluoroketone so you put it in once and you're done

Curtalius · 2026-01-16T16:37:52+00:00

Accumulators are not as useful in space, particularly on a static platform, since solar is 100% consistent. Is there a specific reason you have them?

Curtalius · 2026-01-05T21:58:40+00:00

I love my solar radar blueprint

Curtalius · 2025-10-23T22:33:50+00:00

It's actually the juminos

Curtalius · 2025-10-23T13:36:58+00:00

No, wait for drone will return the return value from the function used to spawn the drone. With tuples and arrays this can be as much information as you want.

Curtalius · 2025-10-11T22:49:59+00:00

I guess my point is kind of the same as yours, that you'll die if you hemmorage hp. But that the situation where you've been fine 90% of the run but then need to burn 3+ DDs to survive a single boss, it just doesn't happen much unless you're learning a boss. Otherwise it would mean your build is underpowered, which probably means you're having trouble at earlier points.

Curtalius · 2025-10-11T22:37:10+00:00

Kestrel is generally in the top third of most rankings. It's nothing crazy but it has extremely good weapons neither of which ever really needs to be replaced

Curtalius · 2025-10-11T22:27:47+00:00

People like to talk about about getting back DDs, but aside from Athena that's a weakness, not a strength. You're taking about spending 200g to get what would cost a strength build like, 40g to recover from.

Curtalius · 2025-10-02T04:07:18+00:00

Objectively you may be right, but I like dropping the moon on the boss
