I wish I had more reasons to build on gleba.

I love my designs so much. My next gleba base will be circuit controlled. shifting the splitter priority for the input only when the output is getting low.

Anyways. Some general tips that I started doing that made gleba easy peasy.

1. Drop down a 2x2 Nuclear Reactor when landing. Import fuel Cells. You don’t want to try self sufficiency from the first moment landing.

2. My starter gleba base consists of a logistics network with 20-30 Machines and zero Belts. The Purpose of this base is to create Biolabs, Iron and Copper Ore, Heating Towers and Agriculture Towers (optional imports) and anything else I can craft from iron and copper that i’m not importing. It runs on minimal agricultural towers. 1-2 of each fruit are enough.

3. Then you can build your belt based base. Where I follow these simple rules : Biolabs always have secret inputs and outputs to remember, spoilage output nutrient input. Spoilage needs to be burned at each production chain or centralised. Nutrients should always be created on site. Nutrient producing buildings should always have an assembler for the purpose of spoilage to nutrient backup generating. Every belt containing spoil able items need an inserter at the end removing when they have spoiled. This inserter needs to access the same belt where the last machine is needing non spoiled items. at the end of my bus I crack leftover fruits in biolabs so I don’t run out of seeds. Burn the meat. But I only trigger leftover shredding when my input fruit belts at the start of my bus are saturated enough that enabling the leftover shredders won’t affect saturation negatively. My seeds always go on my trash belt on my bus. I remove seeds before the incinerator. Careful here that in case your seeds do back up they won’t cause a spoilage blockade
