It’s been a little bit since Space Age released and I’m curious to hear what everyone has been up to lately in their factory!

On my part I’ve been ready to go to Aquilo for a while now but I got distracted rebuilding everything on Nauvis with a rail-based city block design. I also got a calcite mining platform up and running and switched over a bunch of production to use molten metal.

I’m hoping to check out Aquilo anytime now but I might have to do a bit of work on Gleba and Fulgora before I can afford to be stranded again.

What sorts of things have you been working on in your factory?

    I just beat the game on a mod-free run. Now I’m farming shattered planet for Prometheum to do research, though there isn’t a huge amount of purpose to it now.

      I sunk a lot of time trying to design a narrow ship that can go really fast through shattered planet. Higher than 270km/s is really tough

        How narrow is narrow for your builds?

        I finally built a ship capable of getting to Aquilo but even then I’m considering redesigning it a bit and scaling up even more. At first I didn’t realize how important overall width was compared to weight.

        It’s hard. I can only get about 50k km into the edge before my ship dies. But I can go there and back to harvest Prometheum at least
