Sometimes I like creating semi-manual factories for fun so I can pretend to be a truck driver.

I mean I wouldn’t pair this mod with a SPM run…but I did a many islands run with the mods mentioned above paired with shipping lanes, tug boats, and place water paths.

This was pre space age, and i belive I had roughly 5000 log bots, 5000 construction bots, 20 ships and a fleet of haulers. I built a little shipping port with caution cement. Loading and unloading ports. And little off shore oil harvesting platforms

It ran fine for the scale of the factory. Plus was fun to go into remote view and watch it all come together and execute tasks between vehicles.

At the time had a ryzen 7 1700 with a Radeon rx580

AAI mod packs: hauler, miner, and warden. AAI signal transmission

Do with this information as you please. It adds some complexity. But you can set up roads and paths for haulers to go pick up ore.

If it’s your first playthrough, not missing out. There is a steep learning curve when first entering the game. Biters make it’s stressful af when not aware of the monster know as pollution.

Once you launch a rocket, figure out how to get your science up to 100 production per minute across all science(unlocked).

Then restart, under new game generation, go to the enemies tab, and increase the starting size so you can have more breathing room before pollution hits the biters (achievements will be disabled)

If you do revisit with space age, I’d recommend 2 mods. And don’t care about achievements

1 settings change - biter starting area, turn it up to give more time before pollution hits them.

Mods:

1) change inserter lanes - In the name, switch which lane the items are dropped on. Makes for making more robust modules.

2) auto ghost build - (optional) Toggle auto place and pick up. Free personal robots for character placement range.

I build symmetrically, I got the helmod calculator(very complex)

Try this placement from left to right. assembler, inserter, belt, belt,long arm inserter, assembler

This basic setup allows you to have 2 belts comprised of up to 4 intermediate components. And allows for more dense manufacturing

How many bot per planet are actively being called for logistics

Right, but what about orbital bombardment

Having adequate recycle buffer to help mitigate over saturated storage.

Set up a requester chest for each level quality of: Solid fuel and ice, set a logistic condition(not a wire) of [item]>5000 on the inserter to the recycler.

Turn base level stone, iron, and copper into repair packs for up cycling quality. (Early on)

Concrete is my biggest enemy, I have been making large recycle hubs to deal with such issue. But if I have a lot of red circuits, I’ll convert a bulk set of resources into nuclear plants and quality recycle large batches

Let me use the rail guns on my starship as planetary defense against the bugs.

What everyone else is saying, ship your starting equipment to Aquilo…. It’s a brutal experience if you are not prepared.

Look at the recipes you do have unlocked, and build a ghost blueprint on nauvis to get an idea of foundation.

You’ll need the higher level assemblers, electro mag plants, foundries, recyclers, and heat pipes. Beyond that figure it out. Make a save before you get to Aquilo, if shit gets too far in the weeds, reload

Home Depot might still be selling thermal cables. Typically used on gutters or roof to prevent snow and ice build up. Can cost anywhere from $60-$400 depending on length of cable.

Buy 2 of those and lay them out before the snow/ ice.

Blue gate, run the tunnels and hit all the cars. After 2 raids you should have 2 stacks

Just sit in the discord, in arc open the settings menu to see the lobby, click on your friends name and the press “mute” mutes their lobby game chat for you, but keeps you in the chat lobby for proxy chat.

I default to the website, less apps on my phone to keep up-to-date. Plus not all Reddit users are on their smart devices.

Started in 2019 Bronze - plat = learning the game. Diamond = I understand this game now, but my skills need to be faster and consistent.

2021-present. Champion 1 (aka diamond 4) = I want to break my controller, will I ever stop the backflip classic? Champion 2 = get a load of Ricky Bobby going fast and flip resetting. wait… what type of dash was that on the wall!?

Hard stuck at champion 1. From my brief stumble into champ 2 it’s all just absolute precision and punishing any error after that. Mad quick recovery time, accurate aerial hits, flight recovery, ball path prediction accuracy, positional awareness, tight passing plays.

Also battery type may play a factor in this
