What do I do after Celestial Foam?

[Malidictus]

I've reached the point where I can generate enough Celestial Foam to produce both Chromalit and... whatever the red resource was called. I'm even able to collect Hollow Stone and Void, but I don't have much use for either. I even have a drill down to 64Km, thinking it would give me a new resource - it didn't.

The only way I can progress that I see is the upgrade to the Hollow Stone lab, but that takes 30K Chromalit and I have storage for maybe 3000, with new storage silos costing now 50M Charonite. What am I supposed to do?

Building the Hollow Stone lab.

You cant reach the 30K Chromalit with storage, you need to outproduce the decay till you reach that number.
Seven Irridiator around a preheater did the job for me, thought it was not ideal. 8 Would be better.

I ended up doing a cheap trick of building lots of cooling towers, waiting for my Chromalit to build up, then salvaging it for a major influx in Chromalit long enough to build the thing.

I don't see how I could out-produce decay by enough, but I guess I AM also running Chromalit Reactors for red stone.

irrdiators+preheaters, ive build them in an x formation to buff them as much as possible, they easily outproduce the decay that you have more than 30k chromalit

That's true, but I struggle to produce enough Celestial Foam to support that many. I'm kind of tapped out on machines since they're starting to cost in the range of 20M each.

The best option is to maximize chromalits production, you'll get red resource from their decay. To get 32k of them, you could sell a couple of void resonators or irradiators and immideately build the upgrade, while chromalits are decaying. At this moment you can peak them at more than 50k.

Yeah, that's what I did. Build 9 extra Cooling Towers, waited for Chromalit to build back up a steady state and sold them to get a major boost. Seems like I don't need to produce large numbers of the legacy resources for anything else now, though. Just Dark and Light Matter, near as I can tell.
