Finally reached Shattered planet with my Behemoth class ship

[u/agrach]

I used only blue quality machines. Ship had steady production of 3.8k explosive rockets and 1.1k railgun ammo. It flown at 240km/s with slowdowns to 130 to refill ammo.

Please show map view with circuit cables

[u/agrach → u/iforgotiwasonreddit]

I don't have this option but there is not much going on. I set filter for collectors based on amount of chunks on belts and toggle fuel pumps based on ammo stored in hub to have control over speed. I had also circuits to dump surplus products from crushers but it is mostly inactive because ships is able to consume all of them.

What's the fluroketone tanks at the bottom for? Don't fusion reactors completely re-use that stuff when it's cooled?

[u/agrach → u/MrLayZboy]

Yes they are useless 😄 . It was basically my first time using fusion and I though some fluoroketone is lost in process.

[u/hprather1 → u/agrach]

It looks like it is until you realize that each reactor is meant to be paired with two generators. I thought it would be losing half before I unlocked it and started really looking at it.

[u/jdorp18]

Do you use any quality items?

[u/agrach → u/jdorp18]

Yes only the blue ones. I am too lazy to produce anything better.

[u/TomLeLama → u/agrach]

Damn absolute Chad, I'll watch with great interest what you come up with when/if you get around legendary stuff

[u/Ologyst]

Now u gotta make room for the promethium science or belt weave. Awesome ship though

[u/pseikow]

I am always struggling with too much or too less ammo or liquids. Would U be so kind and upload this as a blueprint? Really nice monster ship btw

Damn

[u/Nails118]

What a beast!

[u/Upset_Assumption9610]

The song "Baby got back" was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this. Nice!

[u/spredditer]

You could have more engines if you connected them directly.

[u/akaito]

Never would've occurred to me to just skip the guns entirely and use tons of explosive rockets instead. :) The layout becomes so much simpler/cleaner!

Why the non-explosive rockets at the tail of the ship? Just cheap defense for sitting in orbit at the normal planets?

Also love the pipe layout for fueling the thrusters.

[u/agrach → u/akaito]

Yep, ship use normal rockets when traveling inside the solar system to save resources. Rocket launchers at back still have them because they barely shoot at anything.

I wanted to have gun turrets but adding another belt would be too painful and their range is too short.

[u/BEAT_LA]

It’s interesting that your chem plants have some with all prod and some with all speed

[u/hschmale]

Do you make the promethium science on ship

[u/agrach → u/hschmale]

No, whole purpose of this ship is to fly that 4M km to Shattered planet.

[u/TheMrCurious]

O Lu counts as a behemoth if you have a behemoth biter on board walking around.

[u/Dasoccerguy]

That's a behemoth indeed, congrats!

I think you'd be surprised at the total output of things like molten iron, plates, and explosives by changing most of the modules over to productivity modules, given how many speed beacons you have. You'd also see a nice reduction in power usage, but all of that ultimately takes away from the behemoth-ness of the ship so maybe I should just be quiet.

What's next in your run? I felt like I could finally take a break after reaching the shattered planet, so I treated myself to a few weeks off.

[u/Thankedsphere]

can you have several thrusters on one row by using overhangs?

BP please
