I’m stumped on Vulcanus. I have a “base.” It’s safe, but I want to scale up, and I’ve never made a megabase or figured out rails and circuits. I’m slowly figuring out circuits. I can at least limit chests with them now, across multiple chests so I can limit how much of X is being made. Train interrupts I don’t understand, so I have to move my spaceships manually.
If there’s anything you’re curious to know or if you’d like some advice on anything specific, I’d be more than happy to answer the best I can.
I just spent this weekend staying up to 9 AM the next day trying to comb our bootstrapping spaghetti on Vulcanus into a factory that can actually do something at some kind of scale, so I’m very fresh to the problem, lmao.
The main thing I have problems with right now is how to tell a ship to stay put long enough for the cargo to load. I want my first ship, that I call Charon to go to and from Nauvis and Vulcanus. At Nauvis I want it to load 1200 blue chips, and load 4000 Metallurgic Science packs and 1000 Tungsten Plates at Vulcanus. They offload just fine because I have my requests set up at the Cargo Landing Pad, but if there isn’t enough stuff already made, they don’t wait for the rest of the cargo.
I don’t know if I need to use a fullfill all requests or any request or what. I never learned how to use trains either.
