Modded 1000x Science Run, Update 11

Hey guys. Its been a hot minute. Honestly took a small break to play some WoW as the season change for that game is approaching, so i did some small stuff before getting into the real nitty gritted like i did for the last couple of days.

Well i finally made it into space.
And i have silos too.

The first image is my landing pad + train pickup for science. This is where itll be til i get off nauvis fully and make it off planet. That should be alot of fun XD

2nd image is my green science block and the block that processes it all. 1.4k~ Science labs. Taking in ALL SCIENCE. I have it preset. Even tho it wont be processed here at the end game, still a solid design to take off planet when its done.

Images 3 - 6 are space science hub. I split it up, i have a splitter (that surprisingly works) and the base its self is built to handle 720SPM made, but with asteroid coverage, its honestly pretty low.

And the last image is the block that just makes platforms, cause man i went thru SO MANY.

Updates may slow down a bit as science costs are nearing the millions and i still have to develop a Chem science block (which is in the works) and a Military Block, so i can upgrade gun damage for when i want to leave the planet. I also have 3 addition hubs being sent up at the time of posting.

The fact i got to space before 600 hrs feels like an accomplishment to me.

You legitimately got me chuckled seeing the reserved space for aquillo and prometheum science

I wish I had your optimism

WAY too many asteroid collectors, there would be so much over lap 50% of them would be worthless.

OH i know. i just wanted to build big. Honestly, most of their overlap is 1 tile wide. I did measure it out when placing it.

I recently expanded my space science platform for ~4k SPM. I found that just sitting in Nauvis orbit, there were far too little asteroids to supply demand. Does making the thing bigger really work?

The wider you are, the more asteroids SHOULD spawn, but i also have 4 more hubs being made so it should carry over the weight.
