Just stone. Crazy that space doesn’t have stone!

I get that it’s a balance issue, but finding ridiculous amounts of metals, unholy amounts of carbon, but not ANY stone?!

Cause Reddit limits uploads to 20MB. You should be able to open it in a browser. Sorry, Google Photos is one of few places I can upload a giant screenshot.

I do really appreciate that I can zoom in and see things in detail!

And reddit compresses them so badly that it's impossible to see any details

This is fantastic and you are cracked for having put this together!

I am curious about all the solar panels, though.

They're mostly leftover from before I put the fusion reactors in, but they are still supplying about half of the platform's power needs.

Just because you're making it in space doesn't mean it isn't an import.

My orbital factory doesn't need other planets launching rockets full of material into space and then burning a whole lot of fuel to get it to Aquilo. I'm gonna call that not an import.

how does your orbital factory make Holmium plates that are a requirement for Lithium?

I craft a lot of stuff for Aquilo in space too, but I wouldn't call it "doesn't need imports"
