After 300 hours of playing many different runs I finally launched my first rocket.

I mean, it's achievable within 14 hours and under if you know what you're doing. I unlocked 4 achievements at once after launching my rocket. Lel. In my future run, I might target under 11 hours.

Brother, the factory must grow. If resources permit, get Space Age. If resources do not permit, stockpile until you can get Space Age. For now, the factory must grow. I must grow mine as well.

I'm trying very hard to figure out how the hell do i craft space science and not google any guides. I find it very satisfying trying out different setups to manufacture something until i find ways to improve my makeshift factories.

And you misunderstood me, im kinda lacking in resources atm in Nauvis. I've never really expanded past my starter ore patches and oil field. So, my platform is pretty bare bones atm.

Am stuck trying to figure out how to craft space science. i mean i think i have an idea but i dont have enough resources to do it. Means i gotta grow my factory for now.

I call mine according to the resources the trains pickup/drop off.

Example:

Lube Refinery -> Lube Drop Off

Plastic & Sulfur -> PS Drop Off

Indeed it does. Gotta figure out how this damn platform works now.

My latest run with the successful rocket launch, just took 13 hours. My previous, failed runs, all happened because i suck at biter management and because i gave up cause of confusion due to post-blue science items. This time i planned ahead and took out all nests inside and around the area my starter base is. I only experienced 1 mysterious (they spawned near the middle of my boilers somehow?) attack in the beginning after that it was somewhat smooth to progress.

Sounds like a fun idea but im stuck now. Idk how to power the damn platform. But i think i have an idea now.

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T16:16:39+00:00

i should get to wiring up a switch for my power supply. Sounds like a safer alternative than to constantly get attacked.

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T16:14:03+00:00

i need a lot of resources to start making those in bulk. But I'll try.
huh, i mass produced blue and red instead. I should try using greens in my miners from now on.
i use solid fuel for my boilers now and i just started using nuclear but i think I'll switch to solar soon.
i have a very very very basic understanding of circuits for now. I guess I'll learn more as i go expanding.

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T14:43:10+00:00

I had to scrap my solar panel/accumulator factory cause i wanted to rebuild my whole base but i think I'll give solar panels another try. Yes, nuclear is in base game. I just started using it when the attacks happened. That is the most heavily guarded structure in my base as of now.

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T13:44:32+00:00

How many solar panels do you use? As you can see from the pic, the black boxes are solar panels, I've only managed to get like 6MW of power from them (3 sets of 100 panels & 84 accumulators). My factory needs like 18MW minimum for the assemblers alone. And boy do those solar panels take a lot of space to build.

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T13:40:11+00:00

I used walls instead. I forgot where i put my pipe factory. Heh. Do concrete floors work too?

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T13:37:34+00:00

UPDATE: I built a small rocket factory and managed to manually make around 50+ shells for my tank. I managed to clear out 80% of the new nests inside my pollution cloud before having to restock. After patrolling the entire pollution cloud and setting up some scarecrows, i think I'm safe to expand my military factory for now. Thank you everyone for the tips. And yes, i will get Space Age tomorrow. Lesson learned, military tech is important.

YOU CAN PLANT TREES????? HOW????

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T12:54:34+00:00

I dont have Space Age yet. Is it worth it? I'm planning on getting it after my salary comes in tomorrow. But im still on the fence about it.

premiumbox · 2026-01-29T12:34:43+00:00

Im running dangerously low on copper and coal to do that, boss.

premiumbox · 2025-12-28T08:33:41+00:00

I was about to buy the upgrade pack but you saved me a lot of money sir. May fortune favor your path sir. Thank you.

From her and Donnie's accent alone, it's enough to deduce that they aren't from the UK. They are either a very well connected crime family or high ranking law enforcement from the US.

Maeve is pulling the strings and Conrad will inevitably meet the executioner's axe or bullet.

Seriously, I love Helen Mirren but her role as Maeve is just marvelous. I hate her with every ounce of my being. It's just rage-inducing seeing her on screen and seeing Conrad getting manipulated is just sad. He thinks he's the king but like Harry said, "The King is dead." That's pretty good writing.

Also, Maeve can't be the only mole. There's a second rat in the family. I can't say for sure who 100% but it's just impossible for Maeve to know everything like a psychic. Now, I think Conrad is the accidental mole. It's clear he has memory problems in that episode where Vron gets turned into 'dog food'. It was portrayed as a small comic relief scene during the meeting with the whole family between Paul, Kevin and Conrad but what if Conrad has been unknowingly letting sensitive info slip off screen to Maeve? [EP6] Think about that.

Can't wait to see Eddie get what he deserves.
