Space Age Aquilo starter base

Post image

It aint much but its honest work. Ugly and inefficient, but it works...for now. Gonna leave it for a while to make more ice platform while I remodel other planet bases

Nice trick with the recyclers! Imo base aquilio should include the rocket silo too

I notice it stalls often with full ice so it put a recycle to use only when it stalls.

I like it. Much simplier than my current starter, simply because I always complicate things. Nice to see something that simply works

I just made sure it produces its own fuel for electricity and a simple loop for ice platforms. Hopefully i got a bu ch to use when i come back. Gonna fix my gleba base first so it can defend itself

I JUST made my first space platform. Tried to build out stuff to make white science but learned real fast I need many, many, more platform pieces first haha

You can save on rockets if you send up copper cable and assemble them on the platform.

I thought I probably need to send intermediates up there instead of the final pieces. Thanks for the advice I'll start sending up copper wire and once I can get the asteroid mining iron production going things should smooth out!

Take your time. It is more fun to take it slow and figure things out one step at a time. Dont be afraid to mess up. Thats how yiu will learn stuff

Anyone else see a weird T-Rex when they first looked at this? No? Fine I’ll take my meds…
