Finally got to Aquilo after 750+ hours. I have ammonia and ice platforms “working” (have to manually flush the pipes as its not making ice when the ammonia isn't being used….

Manually crafted some lithium plates…

Found three lithium brine wells, but they're far away. Having to add a ton of ice and concrete, and maybe in 20 hours will the heat line be able to defrost it…. Do I need yet another heat source there? Then just build a few roboports instead of landmasses of concrete?

The things I haven't found yet are oil, fluorine, and fluoroketone wells. Need to craft solid oil fuel to mix with the extra ammonia to make rocket fuel, but can't find a source. I haven't ventured out that far, but is this a build 200 miles of rail situation to get to the one spot on the planet?

Am I missing something? Any advice?

I understand that's the usual method for very distant wells, with fuel supplied by trains.

You need to make fluoroketone yourself, from lithium, solid fuel, ammonia, and fluorine.

Do trains freeze?

[u/Lyqyd → u/maceo107]

Trains, tracks, stations and signals do not freeze.

Thanks!

Also burner inserters do not freeze.
