My promethium collector / space fortress "The Sunny"
Super proud of this spaceship that took me to the edge of the solar system. Called it "The Sunny" after OnePiece, and it's got pretty much everything it can have imo.
- A nuclear fission reactor (was made before Aquilo, and I needed the steam for plastic production)
- A nuclear fusion reactor (after unlocking fusion reactors from Aquilo)
- An automall with sushi belt that automatically requests any needed items if the total number of an item on the spaceship goes below a threshold set by constant combinators
- Intermediate production that feeds into the main hub with thresholds set similarly
- Quality recycling (still working on this part! But I should theoretically be able to setup some portions of my automall to work to process quality materials). I know I could do space casino but that'll be my next spaceship :)
- Circuitry linked up via radars to coordinate logistics the logistics system and item requests for sushi belt
- Pretty much everything that can be made in space is made in space, including Railguns, tesla turrets, stack inserters (for the fun of it lol), etc.
- Overengineerd turrets
- Collecting only the asteroids that need to be collected: If the ship is full on a specific material (e.g., both calcite and ice) , then it stops collecting oxide asteroids. If the belt storage for promethium chunks is full, then I also stop collecting promethium asteroids.
- Huge storage capacity
- Uses molten metals w/ foundries and EMP plants to make all circuits.
- Heavily beaconed and requires >1 GW of power. It's a sad day when the ship loses all power or runs out of water lol (Which may or may not have happened when retrofitting the defenses with railguns)
Learned a lot of fun circuit techniques with this spaceship! I now wish that we had bigger chests on the ground (I suppose we have the landing pad, like the hub, but I set those up to directly feed into active provider chests). I've been thinking about ways to abuse the tanks and trains like I've seen other people do to replicate some of the cool things I figured out with this spaceship.
Need to redesign my fusion reactor, but it's crazy how much tighter a fusion reactor can be versus even a nuclear fission plant in the game. Unfortunately, I ran out of fusion cells because Aquilo froze over during the time I tried to get to the shattered planet :')
