  • I normally take my time and build proper bases that don’t have to worry about ratios. I tend to make a starter base and then migrate to a monster where everything is on a 4-lane wide mainbus. That’s four lanes per item. That way I won’t have to wait for something that is bottlenecked by a single express belt of copper.

    It takes a lot more time, but it makes for more organized bases, and it’s the playstyle I prefer.

    EDIT: Ducking autocorrect…









  • 20 years ago, the right wing propaganda machine was focused on (before they went full out fascist) low taxes for the “job creators” such as corporations and rich people, on the basis of that leading to more lucrative job opportunities for everyone else. The thinking was that the people and corporations in this low-tax environment would have incentives for creating jobs “here” instead of moving them overseas.

    Not everyone on that side of the isle have realized that this results in jobs still ending up overseas, along with money that could’ve funded schools, roads, libraries, et al. And many of those who have realized it continue along the same path because it’s too profitable for them to do so.

    Remember this next time you hear slogans such as “trickle down economy”, or Glitch McConnells favorite: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”.





  • I just managed to get science and rocket production up and running in Vulcanus. I just need to bring some modules there, and it’s good enough for now. Took me a while to figure out how to deal with a particular thing that I will not mention because of spoilers, but now that it’s sorted I can leave the base mostly as it stands

    So, finally I have what I need for cliff explosives, which is what is preventing me from growing my Nauvis base. So while I do some major cleanup of obstacles and prepare for moving into a larger base, I’ll build a new interplanetary transport (more storage, mainly) and prepare for the next planet. Fulgora sounds like a nice destination.

    I honestly haven’t bothered with quality yet, as I’m still on my starter base before I build “the proper thing” next to it. That’s when I’ll add modules and beacons to the mix. In other words, I’m still at the stage where I’m relying on the base which will build the base.

    I’m almost at the point where I can start preparing, but I have a land dispute with this fucking asshole on Vulcanus that I need to figure out how to settle first.

    UPDATE: Yeah, feast on this field of landmines you slithering fuck!
