All BABs output my desired items on the sushi belt (which loops) where it gets picked up by the filtered boxes and then into ILS. Each storage box stack is filtered for only the item I want to pickup. They just serve as a buffer.

And it goes straight to the ILS. Home planet is gonna constantly keep requesting those into more buffers/consumption so it doesn't get stuck with anything.

One thing I'd like to have more off is more Dark Fog attacks of course.
I planted 8 Holo Beacons with Dark Fog Beaconing on for more Relay Stations landing.
I picked a planet with a lot of enemy bases and hopefully more will turn up.

Do multiple Holo Beacons with DF Beaconing even add up, or does 1 give you all the benefit?
How can I further increase the enemy attacks?

I'm really happy about how it turned out.
But it's my first one so it's probably not perfect.

What else am I missing?

This game is beautiful in so many ways.

I want the storage to always have a minimum number of set item before the sorter takes things out.

In Factorio you can use a simple circuit connection to only enable an insterter if chest hits a certain number of item.

Here I have the bottom chest limited to only 1 stack (or however many I need), and a sorter coming from the top chest onto the belt.

I would like a more elegant solution.

Any pointers?

EDIT:
Looks like this is already the most elegant solution the game offers.
I guess I'm just used to the circuit network system from Factorio, which is amazing.
DSP however offers other things that Factorio doesn't have.

One of my favorite things in DSP is watching a small production chain evolve into a planet-wide industrial machine, and eventually into an interstellar one.

That feeling inspired a mechanic I've been experimenting with.

In Fractal Foundry, factories can be packaged into reusable modules and placed inside larger factories. Those larger factories can then become modules themselves, allowing production chains to scale recursively.
The result is a factory that literally contains factories within factories, used to build fractal megastructures.

I'd love to hear what DSP players think about the concept!
