Am I soft locked on Vulcanus?

[Garudazeno]

So it seems I am stuck on Vulcanus. I have no rocket to get back to my space ship. My space ship is incapable of producing white science for the coal liquefaction technology. How am I now supposed to produce plastic for advanced and processing circuits necessary for a rocket?

Any creative ideas? Would hate having to reload an earlier save...

you are not stuck in vulcanus. the only planet you can get your self locked in is the 4th one.

there is alternative recipes in vulcanus for oil, you have to do oil cracking.

heavy oil -> light oil -> gas

Ohhhh, thanks buddy, I thought I read all the plants recipes but yeah it seems cracking the heavy oil two times should work for getting some petrogas!

So you didn't setup fully automated roboport tech on Nauvis, to auto refill rockets?

Or is your space station above ur planet dead?
If so make a new one by sending a pack up using the roboports... to fill a rocket? and make it bring you stuff to Vulcanus?

I'ma bit confused?

For my setup i just import whatever the hell i need to these planets...
Need purple circuits?

Mass produce them on nauvis ship them on a station and dump them in pods on the planet.
About 1k purple,lightweight alloys,and 400 fuel will get u a rocket to go home.. and then some more rockets... for whatever u need (inventory etc.)

can't bring a silo?
who carez, build one by sending all the parts to make it.

Can't make nukes? SHIP URaninum?! XD

Its really broken, when you can just setup like 4 space stations each with a nuclear reactor and lazer defence grid and have them automatically refill on Nauvis and then just bring it to the planet, dump all of it, and then go back to Nauvis.

Gleba is probably the only real problem... Just Ship all the science to gleba and then you don't have to wry about spoilage...

My method of shipping everything to Aqulius makes this impossible.

you must have an impressive factory, when I first went to vulcanus (my first planet) with the aim of getting the (rush other planet science, and kill 1st nest with artillery achievements) my home base was sad, and able to send 1 rocket every 10~20 minutes, I also forgot to auto fuel my iron train and it get stuck for a while (until i figured the tank thing).

I can imagine once you have insane production you can use one planet to supply them all.

Most of the things you said apply. I don't want to invest too much in the Nauvis base when so much great production technology is on Vulcanus. So I went to Vulcanus with a working spaceship but not auto rockets. I'll probably automate everything when I get back but I've done all the before and the planet is new. So I'm starting fresh on Vulcanus.

I would actually recommend starting fresh on the planets (except aq.) because the experience is so refreshing. I actually had to think here on how I was going to get plastic.
