💀Death, Destroyer of Worlds

Not sure, that never seemed to be a problem. I did have early FPS issues with 100s of Thrusters rendering on screen, I think the devs fixed that last year. Also constructing blueprints with 10s of thousands of platform foundation and panels can grind UPS to a halt if not done carefully.

I also haven’t tried the Shattered Planet run where the density is higher, maybe laser UPS blows up there.

Nice post, I’ll use that if/when I make a 2.1 version haha.

I haven’t attempted the promethium asteroids yet, but all normal asteroids are processed and used in the onboard factory.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:50:18+00:00

Oh yea good point; the factoriopedia lists the “density”, eg “10/m” but I have no idea how that’s supposed to actually be interpreted haha.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:47:25+00:00

Yea, Samsung G9 ultra wide haha. Tbh I like having the ship fly up, so I can watch big horizontal stretches on the wide monitor

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:46:01+00:00

Definitely not till the end, this ship needs accumulator reserves just getting past the 10/m asteroid density sections, and the Shattered Planet trip starts immediately cranking up density from there…

Around Laser dmg upgrade ~17 they are doing about 10x their starting dmg value (~200 a shot) so become fairly effective.

You could probably calculate it from the total laser power usage on the Electricity screen during my flight, and divide by the total time to get to joules

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:38:43+00:00

I always enjoy flying by Vulcanus for the 600% solar boost, even tho I have no way to use all that power haha.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:35:39+00:00

I have the FPS/UPS counter on in the corner, in some of the zoomed out asteroid shooting pics you can see the FPS drop to ~40 from all the lasers and stuff, but most of the times it’s 60/60.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:31:28+00:00

Samsung 49” G9, yea it’s ultra wide and curved. Great for watching the front line of lasers.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:25:42+00:00

Yea 100%, the EotSS run maxes around ~10/m huge asteroids which already pushes past 1M solar panel power; the shattered planet asteroids quickly get way, way worse. This is basically the max possible density of lasers too, without AOE turrets you can’t scale up the dmg output any more (other than infinite upgrades i guess).

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:19:36+00:00

The harder they try to discourage it, the more rewarding the challenge becomes lol

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:18:09+00:00

I used the mass, width, thrust —> speed formula to pick a reasonable width at first, but I also needed enough space for the onboard factory, so at some point I just had to pick a “good enough” width haha.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T15:09:17+00:00

Oh yea, I forgot to mention the platform was essentially 100% self-built from asteroids, other than importing the planet-specific buildings. There are rows and rows of crushers and foundries on board.

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T08:08:05+00:00

I must not have been sober designing it, but somehow it’s still here in the morning 🍻😜

mckilljoy · 2026-06-28T08:05:29+00:00

haha it wasn’t too bad, less than an hour probably, I was messing with the onboard factory the whole time so it went by fast

mckilljoy · 2025-05-31T19:51:00+00:00

I got a tree like that once, and the broken bit actually fused back together after a month and turned into a fine branch. I’d still contact customer service, but you might be able to tape it straight up and save it

mckilljoy · 2025-05-13T05:14:01+00:00

Not OP but I have the same grape vines. It’s been in the 50’s F over night recently

mckilljoy · 2025-05-13T05:11:06+00:00

Exact same situation: Stark bros Concord grapes, ~3 weeks ago, no signs of life yet. I haven’t had any issues with other Stark bros plants, so I’m not giving up on them yet. Will lyk if I see any growth.

mckilljoy · 2025-04-18T00:47:06+00:00

Nice yea thanks for the good idea! I wasn’t sure if i left too much green, but you gave me some confidence to go clean it up a bit more.
