      Idk man, don’t you think your module factory on fulgora could use an upgrade? and your gleba base isn’t very efficient.

      Plus you’ve barely even touched quality. Have you tried out a legendary big mining drill yet?

        Actually, Gleba is working pretty great. Why? How? Fuck, I don’t know. I think the gods of engineering smiled down on me. Or had pity.

        It’s Aquilo I am concerned about. That base is in a constant state of failing but not actually breaking down. Like a sinking ship that doesn’t have the courtesy to finally submerge.

        …

        Also there is the shattered planet. Bragging rights are the most important rights after all.

            A post “end” location on the star map. You can fly there and it’s the only way to gather promethium, a material you need to craft the post game super science. I don’t think the shattered planet is supposed to be reached. It’s insanely far away and the asteroids get bonkers. But that didn’t stop some maniacs to actually do it with a butt load of nukes.

              Well I may be one of those maniacs. I’ve already shipped the materials to Vulcanus to make myself a couple hundred nukes, not for the worms. Nukes just piss the worms off, and don’t hurt them. The nukes were for the cliffs.

                Try taking rail guns to deal with the worms. Apparently even the handheld one easily does enough damage to casually oneshot mediums. 10k base physical damage and the shot keeps going and hitting things until it reaches end of range.

                ETA: if you shoot roughly in line with the worm, you’ll easily get multiple segments. Each one takes the full shot of damage before resistances are applied, so the worm takes a ton of damage in a single shot, even with its resistance.

                  I haven’t been to Gleba and Fulgora yet. I just took a tank with uranium explosive shells, and got Physical Weapon Damage to 16. The worms died at that point.

    Bruh I literally forgot how to play this game, I already have Space Age, but I just don’t have the time to play it that much :(

    I was doing good a couple months back, had an awesome base, then it got absolutely fucked by a horde of spider crickets or whatever you call them.

    Reminds me of an ancient Fark post that had a partially nekkid girl tied to a chair near a TV with Futurama on it. Caption said “Cool, Futurama is on!”

    I didn’t realise the new stuff was mods and I’ve just been playing regular factorio for the last week. I should have been in space two science packs ago!
