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’ve found artillery to be a very effective defense on Gleba. I made a really big train loop that circles my entire base (a ways out from my spore cloud). Then every so often I have an ‘artillery station’ that is protected by very densely packed Tesla and laser turrets.
The train slowly makes its way around the perimeter firing at anything in range. Anything that survives runs over to the station to retaliate and is shredded by the turrets pretty quickly.
