I’ve got all the Nauvis sciences automated as well as getting my first space platform set up. That’s sending a steady stream of space science down now.
I’ve put in quite a few hours over the first two days, but won’t be able to play for a while now.
Currently torn between trying to set off for another planet or scale up my Nauvis base to better support things going forward. Former seems more fun. Latter seems more sensible!
It makes sense to go to other planets first since then you can use the new buildings to make the Nauvis base better. As long as you can support a steady stream of rockets to supply the planets, you should be golden.
Yeah, that’s my dilemma. I wouldn’t say I can support a stready stream of rockets with LDS and blue circuits yet.
I have a nice ratioed 45 SPM starter build set up, but because it’s all ratioed then if I’m researching yellow science I don’t have a lot spare to go towards rocket production.
I think I might add a few more resources without going too crazy and then head to Vulcanus. Building a proper smelting setup with foundries seems very cool.
Will be next week before I get to that point though.
At least Vulcanus looks like it can work with resupply at any pace.
You can drop onto any of the first three planets with nothing and be perfectly fine, it will just be like half an hour slower than if you brought some extra stuff along. I’ve been raw dogging them for the hell of it and once I’ve got their machines all automated and the basic researches out of the way I’m ripping everything up and qualitymaxxing where that makes sense to do so. Aquilo won’t know what hit it.
That's good news - thanks for helping my "gotta have EVERYTHING perfect for this big step" anxiety.
Notably this does not apply to the final planet, where you will want at the very least a healthy reserve of basic resources and probably the stuff for a small scale nuclear reactor for both heat and power. Personally, I’m going to get basic science set up on the three starter planets, then set up quality boosted module production and then make something of a megabase before tackling Aquilo.
