The inserters for the 2 guns on the side are set to only turn on when the ship is stationary.

    Looks good! My ship is just a factory I strapped engines and guns onto. I ran out of ammo and power before I got to my destination (lightning planet) and now my ship is in orbit being slowly destroyed and I’m wondering how I’ll get home 😅

    Also wondering if I have to build a rocket silo and automate rocket parts again on this new planet. I guess so, since there isn’t a passenger capsule like in Space Exploration to return home in.

    I’m going into this mostly spoiler-free and I’m trying to get an achievement for researching an off-planet technology before yellow or purple science, but the only available tech is 1000 science packs. So I’m going I’m under-prepared and have to stay for a long time as my “ship” disintegrates above me 😅

    Your ship is much smarter than mine.

    Can you put the ammo straight into storage to buffer it? I assume so.

    Interesting that you just yeet all the side products. I guess you get enough of them to begin with. I had a loop which stores 70 of each

      You can, though this design doesn’t seem to be doing so. I’m betting it becomes the meta solution for it. Belt buffering doesn’t store enough I don’t feel, but you can store far more than you’ll need in cargo, and you can remove it when required.

    You guys are automating ammo? That’ll make more sense than shipping 500 a trip from nauvis…

      Even with the ammo production, it can barely keep up. If the trip was any longer, the ship probably wouldn’t survive.

        My v3 model dumps into the cargo to make a buffer. I suggest adding some condition before you can go to check whoever there’s enough ammo to go.

        And add solar panels if you’re going to Fulgura. I’m at least 50% panel…

        After filling up the turrets I start storing a couple of stacks of ammo in the ships inventory. Dumping that into the distribution system during flight makes things a little easier.

    What a weird looking penis…Well, my first one doesn’t look much better. It’s even still in use between Nauvis and Vulcanus. I’m just too lazy to upgrade it to a newer design.

    Behold! The Indestructible 2!
