(Factorio 11) How Do I Make A Spaceship? (Backlogging 64)
1Oh lawd, he's about to be mobile...
Yeah I didn't realize at first I could just directly request from the rocket instead of a requester chest. Learned my lesson later, but familiarity is usually the way to start anything in Factorio before moving on to other things. I got around to putting Assembly Machine 3s with productivity/quality modules on nearly everything as appropriate, so I think I'm finally done with most of the prep for realsies. Honest! Also, I was definitely not accidentally sending to my Space Science platform instead of the ship.
Think I figured out the requests from the cargo bay finally, but it really seemed like it wasn't obeying it's own logic half the time, which is what confused me, but I'm gradually understanding a bit more and more about the interactions between Rocket Silos, Cargo Bays, and Space Ships. These Space Foundations absolutely grind through all this steel and copper, but I probably won't need that many of them as long as my ships don't explode. Just enough for a few cargo ships to collect each planet's science, which I think my starter ship could do with some improvements. I made the mistake of not looking at the ratio's for the space ship oxidizer and fuel on my starter ship, which you'll see becomes a problem in a couple episodes. Also, why is the thruster like the one thing in the game you can't flip?
