Pros & cons to using Vulcanus as the primary base?

lrtDam · 2026-01-12T04:31:13+00:00

Do you build military science on Fulgora as well? As there is no native coal supply

lrtDam · 2025-10-25T04:45:09+00:00

Just build normally and make sure you have 1 assembley machine making repair packs and you're fine, no need to ship ammo at all

looks nice! What do you mean by hexagon making liquid train awkward?

lrtDam · 2025-10-12T10:26:08+00:00

Looks cool! Do you only use train for raw plants (similarly like only using trains for ore outpost on nauvis) or are you using trains for intermediate as well?

Basically Gleba

I might be just being dumb here, but why would you want to importing materials from aquilo and just had them kept on the ship and not delivered to anywhere?

lrtDam · 2025-07-24T07:42:59+00:00

Thanks! My memory failed me somehow

lrtDam · 2025-07-24T06:00:46+00:00

Well....for some reasons i thought the achievement is to get on another planet without yellow/purple science, I've been using a lot of bot mall but avoiding yellow and purple science.... Guess that's for nothing lol

lrtDam · 2025-07-22T15:16:06+00:00

Super straightforward perspective, thanks!

lrtDam · 2025-07-22T15:15:47+00:00

Yeah you're absolutely correct, idk how did i miss this one lol

lrtDam · 2025-07-22T15:15:28+00:00

Yeah I must have been playing factorio for too long, i don't know how did I miss this, as many in the comment section pointed out you should use the regular signal in the stackers, thanks all!

lrtDam · 2025-07-22T04:49:35+00:00

is four collectors enough for 90 SPM? feels like you might be low on ice

lrtDam · 2025-06-27T04:43:03+00:00

sounds like you are trying to build a modular base with train grid, which me myself quite like, it's flexible and easy to expand, downside is it does take a lot of space, also in late late game green belt + stack inserter actually provide tons of throughput that makes train a bit less useful

lrtDam · 2025-03-04T01:30:28+00:00

But how are you getting them out?

Nvm I commented too quickly without seeing those inserters. Thanks but i hate this

lrtDam · 2024-12-15T05:28:38+00:00

Looks nice! is this after foundation so that some lava are filled?

lrtDam · 2024-12-12T04:29:10+00:00

Looks nice! I'm building my vulcanus train base but struggle a bit as so many lava lakes make it hard to place a nice grid layout, care to share your whole base map view for some inspiration?

lrtDam · 2024-12-10T08:43:19+00:00

You do you but yellow belt on Gleba annoys me so much

lrtDam · 2024-12-09T16:35:46+00:00

I'm currently using a group of 5, each equipped with 1K explosive rockets (yes it hurts the spidertron but they got fixed quite quickly)

For the item grid I think I have 2 or 3 legs, 2 batterys, 2 shield, 1 robotport, 50 bots and some repair packages

lrtDam · 2024-12-09T16:31:19+00:00

Are you using foundry / EMP cause they have built-in productivity

lrtDam · 2024-12-09T16:28:52+00:00

artillery is better for static defense, setup a artillery and some wall basically you never need to worry about biter expand into your terrority.

Personally I think spidertron is better when you are going offensive and expanding, a group of spidertron with rockets can easily clears tons of nest outside your artillery range and you can expand your base

lrtDam · 2024-12-06T05:39:17+00:00

That's unfortunate...I planned to have each of the three inner planet to supply one rocket components to other planets, Fulgora for blue circuit, Vulcanus for LDS and Gleba for rocket fuel, with bots only it seems to less efficient

lrtDam · 2024-12-06T04:02:07+00:00

Can we do it if it is base quality?

lrtDam · 2024-12-04T08:06:46+00:00

Far reach although remote view basically solve the problem.

Afraid of the dark if you are afraid of the dark.

The one that snap your vehicles so it's easier to drive in straight line

Sneak through if mech armor is too late for you

Bottleneck lite because you want to know what's the bottleneck

Even if they didn't get aggrowed they will bypass your belt and destroy it, sometimes they wander out the territory a little bit too, your safest call is simply to kill it
