(Factorio 17) Gleba Gloominess (Backlogging 70)
1The Analysis Paralysis hits hard.
Feeling a bit better about Gleba now that I've actually started some progress on it. The indecisiveness was bringing me down. Still not feeling better about needing to make a whole bunch of Nutrients and Bioflux that are just going to spoil in order to unlock recipes. Can we please lower the amount needed to unlock the research? It's a bit much.
I finally got artillery setup after slacking for a while to secure my borders since the Behemoth Biters and Spitters are coming out. Not sure if there are bigger enemies than Behemoths on Nauvis, but hopefully 30 laser turrets with 10x repeatables and 2 Uranium Ammo Gun Turrets can deal with them before they break anything. I guess I could always setup flamethrower turrets and extra walls for them to get stuck on if I need to.
I never considered using Active Provider Chests before this, but they're pretty good for clearing up spoilage. They also make it a lot easier to see what's overflowing and where in conjunctino with Storage Chests since Gleba is much more about Latency than throughput. Usually they never get used so this is pretty neat. And thank goodness all inserters are filter inserters now instead of needing them specifically. It helps a lot with removing spoilage from belts and chests that might cause the entire system to come to a standstill. The "Trash Unrequested" option in Requester Chests is also big for dealing with too much material spoiling.
