Phase 1 on 100x
So I assembled a 10/min smart plating factory pulling 330MW. Which will take 500 minutes to fill the space elevator.
Created 11 biomass burners which is 44 solid biofuel/min. That's 176 leaves/min (or 17.6 wood/min).
This got me worried about how much biomass I was going to need to collect.
So, I did a 4min test and collected 3,960 leaves and 468 wood. (This will vary based on the biome obviously)
That roughly order of magnitude difference between leaves and wood on my collection run is fun, considering the same conversion rate to solid biofuel. I love the devs.
So, if I'm using all the leaves and wood, that's 88 leaves and 8.8 wood per min. Which means I got 45 minutes of leaves and 53 minutes of wood supply in that 4 minute collection run.
So that leaves me with roughly 40 minutes of biomass collecting to finish phase 1 so I can get coal.
Okay thanks for reading, this was actually just me convincing myself to keep going, I had to prove it wasn't impossible to myself lol.
