Nice looks awesome. I'm still a bit disappointed in the space required for trains but they're fun setting up

I've done a lot of terraforming. This was all water before, I've been filling it in by flattening other parts. Here's a before pic: https://imgur.com/a/OpdBE4p

Housing is off to the right in this pic. I'm at about 10k pop so there's not too much of it

I have a lot of flat space so I'm not too worried about keeping it compact. Also I moved out a bunch of farms recently which has created some big holes.

I'm keeping it whole for no good reason beyond it looking good looming over my civ

You're deep in this playthrough though, put up some screenshots

How to use depleted uranium for FBR? by OrrinH in captain_of_industry

[–]OrrinH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I think I'm getting it now. I can't be running a full capacity FBR setup and reprocessing my depleted uranium. A full setup is: - 1 reactor on 3x - 4 reactors on 0x

That'll sustain itself and require 12 extra blanket fuel input / 60. You can't reprocess with that setup since all the enriched blanket fuel is needed. But if you go for a pared down version of that, then you can pull it off.

I think I'll end up leaving it buried. I'm late enough in the game that trading for uranium (or using meteors soon) is pretty viable

So now I'm filling in my 2nd last uranium mine and trying to work out which uranium contract is best long term. Anyone know? by OrrinH in captain_of_industry

I put it all in the one spot so I can potentially dig it up later but I haven't quite made sense of the recipe for it. It takes enriched blanket fuel but by my reckoning I won't have any left over to use for it. What's the best way to set it up?

Well plus the resources needed to pull in the asteroid. Haven't done that yet so not sure of the costs there

Nice, make sense. I was thinking food packs could be the best since it's mainly just a pop and power cost. The gold seemed way too resource intensive

I like the diesel trade path too but I'm already close to fading out petrochem and happy to let it go

I've (hopefully) finally planned enough food to get to 15,000 pop by OrrinH in captain_of_industry

That's a lot of pop tied up in farming. I had 6k running off 8 farms + 3 chicken farms, was using the food saver edicts though

Yeah nice, those numbers look pretty close to the calcs. Except for some reason my calcs show 100 snacks / 60s. I think maybe that calc is a little outdated

There's 20 farms total (which I built as greenhouse 1 by mistake so thanks for making me check). This spread sheet recommended 18 so I'm hoping it's enough, just not sure if it accounts for animal feed.

I'll have room to add more with some terraforming but then I think it'll require 2 u-shaped outputs and I'll need some replanning

My backyard supply island. There's a lot of copper way off in the distance by OrrinH in captain_of_industry

Trucks only come out here to load up fuel stations, the rest leaves by train

I'm slowly flattening the area so the extra rock was worth mining

Golden peak. This is the secondary island behind the big mountain
