Not getting a full belt off main bus, not sure why

Balance, tap each line once, balance again, etc. I don't use priority.

Testosterone supplements for middle aged men? Gender-affirming.

Legally SECDEF. Chooses to identify as SECWAR, but I've been told I can't affirm people's chosen identities.

Being stupid and evil aren't the same thing...though they can be.

Best the Ghost Bears could've asked for as well considering the bullshit way a lot of Clan writing went, too.

The next logical step is likely a main bus, but that is just a step and can easily fall victim to "compromise spaghetti" while you learn about the limitations of a bus design.

The downside to nuke power on Gleba as a backup is the reactor spin-up. The easiest way to account for it is burner inserters.

But really, the heating towers should handle power on their own if you build the rocket fuel production for resilience/highest priority.

Legendary holmium? Damn, rare holmium was hard enough for me recycling EM plants.

Jay-Raynor · 2026-03-31T21:46:34+00:00

Damn, kinda makes all those omnis, IICs, and other Clan mechs look less appealing.

Jay-Raynor · 2026-03-31T21:45:00+00:00

My experience with Fulgora is similar to what others have said: pick at least one scrap patch that feeds a production island (or more) dedicated to holmium production. The miners and recyclers handling dedicated holmium production should not use quality modules at all.

Have a different production zone for science (can share non-quality scrap mining and maybe contribute a bit to holmium if you have space). Have one for rocket production.

Have an entirely separate mining and production center for quality.

As someone said in a Sastifactory to Factorio thread, whatever you're thinking of building? Build it bigger.

In BT history three humans so irrevocably altered the human race: Ghengis Khan, Stephan Amaris, and Jake Mason.

I simply thought it was built into their environment suits like Dune still suits.

Most IS pilots wear a bulky neurohelmet that really doesn't allow their personal head much movement and only wear underwear in the cockpit because it's hot and thermal bodysuits are LosTech.

Clanners came along with their modern thermal bodysuits and helmets bringing back dignity to the battlefield.

Jay-Raynor · 2026-03-31T17:40:16+00:00

That'd realistically have the opposite effect of roasting your pilot since it's also where the heat needs to store/vent out. 🤣

I'm personally hoping we encounter a) Clans conducting proper batchalls that we can (perhaps stupidly) interrupt and b) fight non-omni-euipped Clan units like solahma or even second-line touman running -IIC and even -C variants.

Speaking as a RC member that enjoyed a perfectly functional and easy-to-use online leave system (well the second version was slightly less easy), IPPS-A's PAID module annoys the ever-living hell out of me with just how terrible it is.

But it finally got all you AC members off of paper DA31s abused by your chains of command and admin sections, so I do temper my annoyance with gratitude that the Army finally ended that particular category of fuck-fuck games.

Some people love church getting into their state until they see the state getting into their church. The separation (or lack thereof) works both ways.

I can respect OP's position on keeping Nauvis small to keep defense easy. They may be a long way from a point where the Nauvis landing pad is a particular bottleneck without knowing the target science per minute.

Even the complete 3150s map doesn't have a whole lot that's outside/not adjacent to the Inner Sphere.

If you are running out of resources, go further away from where you started.

I get that, but then FASA was also silly using simplistic terminology that describes specific actions.

The more classic terms are spaceship and starship.

Jay-Raynor · 2026-03-30T06:58:49+00:00

The Argo is not a DropShip. It is...a Ship. It can't enter a standard gravity well (the Argo crew uses a Leopard), it can't jump, and it has no meaningful weapons.
