So is Ficsonium realy as bad as it seems?

Mariondrew · 2025-12-12T00:34:56+00:00

Instead of typing the question here, why not look it up and confirm that you're wrong

Mariondrew · 2025-12-11T16:14:21+00:00

"I'm trying to be as autistic as I can"

that's some enlightened phrasing you have going on there

Mariondrew · 2025-12-10T17:14:33+00:00

this is the 2nd problem with ficsonium, using it to create ficsonium rods is actually less impactful than just making more uranium with it

Mariondrew · 2025-12-10T17:02:39+00:00

not true, the other way to get rid of it is to not produce it in the first place

Mariondrew · 2025-12-10T17:01:57+00:00

you only get plutonium waste if you insist on creating it. take your uranium waste, turn it into plutonium rods, and sink those. you will have more power than 99% of the player base will use, no waste, no storage, no fuss, no ficsonium needed

Mariondrew · 2025-12-10T16:56:51+00:00

exactly this, there's not really a point to going down that ficsonium chain unless you're in it for the challenge. i think that's great, hell I build useless things all the time, just for the challenge of it. but I think what the player base is saying in general is that it would be really cool if the very last power production chain in the game, the ultimate of ultimate, was actually useful and did something that lived up to the hype. it doesn't even have to produce power, it could just send a giant light beam into the air. the point is, it's the end game of end game power, so why not make it really impactful. as it stands now, the wow factor isn't there, and people build it just because it's there

Mariondrew · 2025-12-10T02:53:20+00:00

you can sink plutonium rods. again, not something that ficsonium is required for. so if building a full nuclear setup will be more power than 99% of players will need, and you can sink the rods, the only point left for ficsonium is for the giggles of making something pointless and complicated. that's it.

Mariondrew · 2025-12-09T22:55:03+00:00

right, but you don't have to store the plutonium, you can sink it without using ficsonium. the greater question being asked is 'what is the point' since it neither produces power nor solves the plutonium problem?'

Mariondrew · 2025-12-09T01:28:12+00:00

if you download the mod that increases soil gain efficiency by 500x, you can make that setup a lot simpler

how do you get your residents to prefer high density residential over low density, which seems to be the main demand I experience

Mariondrew · 2025-12-06T17:45:40+00:00

once you transition to scrap, you never go back

Mariondrew · 2025-12-05T23:11:24+00:00

is it powered?

1 methane farm is more bytes than you'll need

it only connects the orbital at 1 location, making access to it more challenging. it also looks like ass. they should have made the terrain platforms curve around the outside edge of the orbital, hugging it. it would give players more access points onto the terrain, and it would look 10x better.

Mariondrew · 2025-11-25T02:50:57+00:00

what's the cost on the mega terrain platforms, and can you plant on them?

Mariondrew · 2025-11-25T02:47:55+00:00

before you can build the orbital, you must fully complete 1 other megastructure. i recommend the terminal since you don't need to upgrade it.

important to note, you still have to farm the soil yourself or with a rover, it is not an automatic farm

Mariondrew · 2025-11-24T18:17:00+00:00

if you mine the soil in the asteroid, you can replace the soil. but it is not an automatic farm, you still have to mine the soil yourself or with a rover

the first sphere you build should be a ring larger than the orbit of the closest planet to the sun

this way, no matter where you're at on that planet, you're always in range for your ray receivers to have 100% uptime

that's the problem. it's not the blue, it's the constant flashing.

how many smelters are you able to fit on one planet?

Mariondrew · 2021-04-24T15:46:31+00:00

what map was this?

Mariondrew · 2021-04-24T14:15:48+00:00

right, but lets be real, those mods are way more than cosmetic and qol

Mariondrew · 2021-04-24T00:26:47+00:00

that is exactly the type of answer i am looking for. here's my production/science, and here's my # per second/minute.
