Fulgora is so damn good!

[Freeman]

Just an appreciation post for the recycling system on Fulgora. At first it pissed me off lol, set up on a crap island with little in the way of scrap, but as I learned more about how it all works it is so bloody easy to make tons of quality components and as I realised more and more how this can help optimise everything else it became more and more addictive. I have so many assemblers producing rare stuff I can ship to other planets, I feel like this planet really kicked off the addiction this game can provide. Top work Wube

I just arrived, and have just gotten started after getting some helpful rockets with extra stuff from Nauvis.

I agree. It's great fun and it forces me to play in new and fun ways. I have devised a little system that turns scrap into all materials I want (keep everything but split off gears, processors, and low-density structures to get plastic, iron, green circuits, and copper plates (maybe I missed something). Anyway, from there I can do anything. It also has a splitter that diverts clogging extra material to a shredder, but I do of course want to minimise waste. Now we just have to see how it scales.

It quickly gets out of hand :D

My favorite of the new planets. They give you all the super rare stuff, but you have to work for the stuff that is common elsewhere, like water, plates, and plastic.

A lot of quality rolling with mining scrap itself and then into recyclers for twice the chance. Pretty much limitless resources on those small islands that you can probably fit a train on to with elevated rails without the deep platform upgrade as well. Still prefer to go to vulcanus first for the big drill to use here.

You can use big drills and foundrys(Holium plate) on Fulgora. You just need to carry them.

2 things you need to be very careful on Fulgora,
-Not all scrap times are equal, steel and concrete have long scrap times for example will clog up if u put it in main scrap bus. So plan accordingly.
-Do not over-destroy, always put circuit or logistic network condition if certain count is achieved then start getting rid of.

Yeah I'm at the stage where I have a standoff with the biters on Nauvis, a ship that can go wherever/do whatever, and I'm just figuring out Fulgora.

In my case the infastructure is there so the first thing I've done is just make a small single reactor I can put on each island.

Love how the new game emphasizes simple use of the logic circuits to solve the problems presented by each planet. Was just looking and I never noticed you can turn belts off now too, idk why you would but you can.

Will two recyclers facing each other ever jam or is it a black hole?

If it produces itself or create one final level ingridient(copper, iron), you can do it. But if it produces other ingridients it can clog up.

[Aestrea]

You can just add 3 steel boxes for good measure pulling out anything and then immediately returning them if you are putting random things inside instead of just single items that return single items.

[Otakuya]

Agreed. I called it Casino planet. Just gambling quolity items is so much fun.

It can? I only had it clog when I loaded ingredients into both facing recyclers. As soon as i loaded into one I never had that problem, but i suppose it is technically possible if the you feed it something off the belt while the other is trying to give you something. More use for circuit conditions.

Yeah for example in my base even one machine is fed only green from belt, it clogged up eventually. It can happen. So one level or root level is safe though. Clogging also happens to due scrap time of the ingredient as much as variety of ingridients.

Might be leaning Aquilo, but so far Fulgora is my favourite planet.

I came up with 2 facing each other input from a requester chest, both output to the same requester chest, inserters wired to activate when there's too much of an item in any of some passive provider chests. Works like a charm, keeps a little line of bots busy deleting gears lol.

Kinda wasteful bc it doesnt pull out the plates but whatever.
