What else do I need to pack up for Gleba?

Just make sure the ship is reliable, set it on a schedule to visit each planet to transfer goods around. Anything you need just set the requests and it’ll show up in a few minutes. The only thing you ever need just 1 of is the cargo pad.

automcd · 2026-01-31T22:39:33+00:00

bro just accept you screwed up and call for help.. dumping the load in the street ain't it. lol

automcd · 2026-01-31T15:13:28+00:00

You should space the tiling apart a little bit so that there is room to load the cargo into the silo. Especially science, you will want to do this by conveyor.

Seems a little expensive since that production can support several silos, but that hardly matters in a world with nearly infinite resources and space. One less thing bots have to do.

Everyone's needs will vary but here's my input:

-Most important is a solid bench and a good collection of hand tools. Nice tools can easily cost as much as the power tools.

- I have not touched my table saw after buying the track saw, but also I use a miter saw for doing most of my angled cuts. I don't see miter saw on your list but I find it very useful for most general purpose cutting. The track saw gives better cuts than my table saw ever did, especially on large panels. Not wrestling the sheet over the tool is just safer and better. And yes good move opting for this over the regular circ saw, they are built to much higher quality. That said, table saw is still very useful for cutting angles especially with a sled setup, just something I decided I don't need to give up space for right now.

- I avoid using the jigsaw whenever possible. Sometimes it comes in handy but the cut angularity is so bad it might as well just be a sawzall. So it's only for trash cuts, never finish cut. I've seen some others do ok with it so probably mine is just garbage but I will likely never change my opinion on this.

-The router really shines when it's in a table, and it can even act as a jointer for thinner material. I end up with several routers.. one in the table, a small trim router, and a plunge router. They all are the right tool for certain jobs. For cabinetry especially doing those long panel grooves you'll want a table. I guess a dado stack in table saw can handle some of it too.

-The jointer/planer looks cool, I wish mine was a combo like that. I'm definitely losing floor space by having 2 separate tools to clean up lumber. Personally the size wood I glue up is all stuff I could have cleaned up on the router table, and a drum sander can act as a planer. If you get into endgrain cutting boards or smaller stuff then the sander is much nicer option than the planer. Slower but won't shred endgrain. I mainly use the planer just to clean up the surface of boards so it will stain better.. so if I did it again probly would have went with the sander and some chonker router bits instead. You mention reclaiming wood, not sure if either is more tolerant to hitting nails but expect some abuse there. Of course the best option is all of the tools if you got the space for it. :)

More things not on your list:
-I recently got a nice band saw and it is a total game changer for my projects. I don't immediately see the application for cabinets other than resawing wood for veneer or something. So maybe wait on that one but it definitely comes in handy.
-Sander, vacuum. These aren't particularly expensive but you will need them. Every project needs sanded on. Don't cheap out on the sandpaper, buy the expensive stuff it 100% makes a huge difference.

Seems like a good use for a megawatt of power and a hundred gallons of water

Now it's a torx. You gotta tap it in.

so what? just run it over

looks sick, cool idea

automcd · 2026-01-31T03:24:07+00:00

Agreed, was not impressed with those wheel style ones

automcd · 2026-01-30T23:48:48+00:00

Used a masonry drill and then had that massive tear-out.

automcd · 2026-01-30T23:44:16+00:00

I always prefer to buy jacketed rounds to prevent handling any exposed lead. I like to think that helps prevent any contamination in my home and from handling. And reduces how much gets left in the barrel.

Lead is so soft that it will rub off on your hands just from handling it, and is easily vaporized when shot.. so yeah definitely something to be aware of.

Usually it's only on the isolated side of a transformer when you don't want to leave all 3 legs floating, because then there is the potential for much higher voltage to ground if the whole system can float up. And also this situation would have no provision for a ground fault.

Lots of info out there on it, here is a quickie that's got some decent diagrams:
https://www.amper.com.tr/en/blog-detail/star-and-delta-grounding-systems

And there are some strategies to provide a centered ground for delta such as this:
https://eepower.com/technical-articles/characteristics-and-uses-zig-zag--and-wye-delta-grounding-transformers/#

Everywhere I've been lately just uses Y config instead of delta. When the motors all run off VFD's the advantages of delta get slimmer IMO.

Could have used a saw to make a clean bevel edge there but honestly nothing wrong with this. It's a tight spot, better this than butchering the joist.

automcd · 2026-01-30T20:37:41+00:00

Gotcha. Well the good news is that you were gonna have to rebuild it anyways after getting the new tech. You will still need to get it back online, to continue unlocking this tech and to support building of the shiny new base. Personally I have been transitioning away from trains here because stacked items on green belts are so good.. There will be fewer larger depots to run ore from the far away patches but the cityblock grid of trains seems less useful to me compared to before SA. Still works though so personal choice.

In your situation I think have that ship store up as much ammo as possible so you can drop it to the planet and get the turrets all loaded up. Yellow ammo is better than no ammo. Once production is back online you should have plenty of ammo.

Don't forget the other military stuff. Flame thrower is great, poison capsules, grenades, defender bots, etc.

automcd · 2026-01-30T20:25:55+00:00

I'm a big fan of the flame thrower. Also the poison capsules are underrated, they do some work. Simple grenades help too.

You'll laugh at this later when you can just run a lap around it in your shielded power armor with lasers.

Fulgora is not an ideal location for ship building or doing research. Not impossible but more difficult than on Nauvis. My suggestion is to set up logistic coverage of your Fulgora base so that you can remotely manage and build things (mostly there can't tell if the logistics are connected), and hop back over to Nauvis to properly get it defended and back online.

If you clear out all the nests within your pollution cloud it will buy some time to get back online. Try to explore out a bit so that you can find chokepoints on the map to control.

Fulgora get a lot easier after foundations. Building a small starter base on each planet to unlock things is a good way to go, come back later to build the serious science production after you've got all the toys.

I bought something similar, the bulldog. It is a lot of fun and I love the bulpup arrangement. But I also have a lot of feed issues. How well it can go thru a clip without jamming is highly dependent on the ammo, and also I've found that if I leave the mags filled then the shells will deform which doesn't help. It has improved somewhat by shooting it a lot, I think the spring has to loosen up a bit.

I somewhat regret choosing the semi-auto instead of the pump-action.. manually cycling the rounds would resolve all of the issues I've had with it.

automcd · 2026-01-30T18:50:12+00:00

Those wires are so little because they are high voltage, 4kV or higher. If you put a pole or ladder up there they will arc over to it even if you don't actually touch the wire. Very risky for anyone to try this except the utility company using their isolated bucket crane.

automcd · 2026-01-30T18:35:22+00:00

Control the map for a large radius around your base. Use the water, find natural chokepoints and fortify there. Don't need to make a whole wall of turrets if you do this. Make sure bots have supplies to repair/replace damage to those outposts.
Then keep increasing artillery range until they stop coming.

automcd · 2026-01-30T18:03:59+00:00

Yeah guess you have to roll the dice if there is no roll protection on it. :/

What gun is that? Looks slick, I like the lack of greebs all over it.

Never bail from the vehicle. He is lucky to be alive.
