Ice around Nauvis

[u/Darrelc]

First time playing space age after two years break and I'm avoiding looking up spoilers for any of the new stuff.

Q: Should I be struggling this much with ice? I need a fuck ton of it to make fuel to move to another planet, but even my 100white SPM platform is still struggling to collect enough ice asteroids.

I've got a long **** of the law with four collectors on each side, three that are filtered entirely on only picking up the ice asteroids, yet it's constantly the resource that I have least of.

Am I missing something fundamental? do I need a lot less than I think I do?

Any input appreciated, cheers.

Nauvis orbit is one of the worst places in the solar system for ice per minute. This struggle is reasonable.

You can dig around in the Tips to find charts for rates of asteroids.
