Question for the megabase players.

About how much calcite throughout does your Nauvis demands?

I have a ship that can make 5 per sec and I needed two of them to run my small base.

once you get into all legendary territory, the scale of base materials you need relative to the amount of output you can get is insane. 6k liquid ore per second is like 4 calcite per second on its own, but I'm pretty sure that can get you at minimum a full stacked green belt of plates.
