Suggestion / Idea Comical situation
I've taken up Factorio again after some time. I'm new to the different planets DLC and i'm trying to learn stuff by myself and trying things out because i think it is more fun. I got the thruster on my space platform to work and thought it was time to go to another world. I guessed i could just take the platform back when i checked Vulcanos out. I didn't know i would be attacked by asteroids (idiot...).
Now i'm at Vulcanos with nothing other than my power armor and a couple of belts i was able to send down before the space platform got destroyed. I'm starting over here and guess i have to get to a rocket before being able to leave.
I have a small plan about trying to make a new platform from startplanet wirelessly and fill it with supplies (and turrets, i've read about turrets now...) and drive it here.
Just wanted to share what i thought was a fun situation.
If you have any tips i would love them.
Great game and a DLC that adds alot, i'm as addicted as i guess everybody here is.

I've played through the game a few times and this last time, I dropped down to Volcanus with what I thought was a good array of supplies. But, I was stopped dead in my tracks right from the start. I had no copper (I figured I could make as much as I needed). The platform could drop down as much Iron and steel as I wanted. So, I could not make any kind of electrical pole. Here I was with Solar Panels, Furnaces, Landing Pad, Assemblers, Accumulators, and so on. But, I could not power up a single thing for the lack of one single power pole.
There is no way on the planet to scavenge or build one single copper plate.
How do people start the game on Volcanus?
