I could be exploring all the mechanics that Fulgora and Gleba have to offer. I’ve researched both planets and have a spaceship ready to take me there in a couple minutes. But nooooo… I instead want to utilize the insane scale of everything on Vulcanus to build rail networks to bring my SPM to the moon!

First, I want red, green, blue, and purple science to get unlimited mining productivity! But yellow science for enhanced military power sounds nice for medium demolishers, behemoth biters, and the Gleba enemies… And since I already have yellow science, I can easily expand to space science… And wait, I also can make Metallurgic science as well!

    I spend all my time on nauvis even though I already have small bases on all planets but aquilo

    Vulcanus is good, for sure. One question: is it just the gods of random being nasty, or there is always not enough coal there? Killed all the small worms around, and a small patch of coal i had at the starter location is the only one. Can import it of course, but that is not convenient.

      It took me taking over a few small demolishers to find a good coal patch.

      I recommend you go to other planets and go hard with mining productivity research and production modules for anything based on coal. Don’t forget to use the Big Mining Drills, especially qualitied ones!

      That sounds like bad luck. I was far from drowning in coal, but had a few small patches in small demolisher territories.

      Near endgame now, and switched half-ish to importing. It gets a lot more practical to import with the right tech.

    I want to get EM plant before I go wild on Vulcanus. After seeing what big miner and foundry can do, it seems to me like a waste to use assemblers for circuits.

        Almost Everything

        Foundries make all iron and copper intermediates. Coal liquefaction for all oil intermediates. Water from the acid. And everything else is easy when you have all of that.

        Thing is, nauvis is only needed for uranium and eggs, you can make every thing else on any one of the first 3 planets.

        I even make all science except planet specific ones on volcanus.

          But I don’t want to ship tons of shit to nauvis. So I make everything there, it’s not expensive with foundries and electromagnetic plants. So getting free ore on vulcanus isn’t even a big thing.
