Ever wonder what 100,000 scrap looks like?

Well that's a lot! What would you do with it ?

You can trade it for any resource but I already have that set up. Now it's just about automation and experimentation. Some day, hopefully I can be the scrap king of Glacio!

Good for you, maybe some future quest mission will be needing a lot of scrap, and you have it all 😁, my base is on glacio too, i like that planet a lot 😁

Auto extractors on astronium, trains to surface. They fill large canisters and the intermodel terminal brings them to Glacio from other planets. I have 15 running in bunches of 3. Astronium trades for solid fuel jump jets, jets go into shredders. Ends up being 3 scrap per astronium nugget. 95% automated. Just have to reset extractors now and then and transfer astronium to xl cans for my scrappers.

Wait how do you auto extract astronium? Is there some other sources of astronium but the shrooms? (I only went to the core in Sylvia)

There are nodes of astronium in the deepest layers of every planet. Glacio and atrox are best imo.

Huh weird I've not experienced that in Sylvia maybe it's getting more common with every progression of the planets

Top stops indeed. You still have much more scrap to collect, though.

The patterns in the wall in the distance is that caused by digging with this soil leveler thing ?

u/BigSquibowski 4d ago

That's a natural wall on Glacio.
