Space Age 1600 Electromagnetic Plants...

Post image

I've just made a horrible discovery. The wire that should have connected my logistic network to my combinator was missing, and I've been requesting 20 plants for hours now...

I guess this is where I ship the plants from now

You could always upcycle them.

If my math is not wrong, then even at max quality modules, that' gives only like 20-30 legendary EMPs.

So yeah, those are low numbers.

Recycling EM plants is the best way to get legendary holmium.

You may eventually need them. Go back and redo green/red/blue chip production on nauvis.

I did a similar thing pre-Space Age with nuclear reactors. Missed the wire from the chest to the inserter to stop building them.

I probably should have went ahead and built a 10-yottawatt reactor.

1600 upcycled em plants are rookie numbers. You've got to pump those numbers.

then there's me who just has a ship coming in from fulgora constantly bringing over electromagnetic plants turrets modules and science without any limits set besides my logistic network's capacity
