I started this playthrough last week after I purchased the Space Age DLC. I play at a pretty slow pace on a railworld setting. Planning to knock out all of the nauvis research including space science and then will figure out going to different worlds and exploring all of the new features!
As of today on the 28th I just got through yellow science and now will thinking about getting a space platform ready to go to send off!
outer garnet
Got all science through yellow done. Planning to set up some uranium mining, get nuclear power, set up another mall for military and get some uranium cannon shells, poison capsules, and some gear to load up my tank and expand out a lot more so that I can start thinking about building a bigger base to get ready for space. After I expand, I'll set up some space stuff and think about how i'll redo getting my resources in via train.

Got my first rocket up and going! Didn't realize I needed space science to obtain kovarex enrichment so I'll be getting those sorted....
outer garnet
Going to try my hand and see how this works out for space science. I still haven't quite figured out how to properly control the number of each materials that I need to hold onto before they get fed into the sushi belt
outer garnet
Got my own space science automation set up! Looks messy but it gets the job done.

Final picture for tonight as I'm heading off to bed. Slowly getting bigger and getting all of my space science out of the way. Then I'm planning on using kovarex to get all of the uranium cells I want to produce uranium cannon shells to wipe out the nearby biters nest. After that, I will plan on how I can rebuild my base into some more streamlined and collected.
outer garnet
Didn't get to play as much as I was catching up with a good friend of mine and taking care of some errands...spent some time clearing out the biters. Will continue on this tomorrow and hopefully get enough room to where I can tear down my current base and rebuild it into something bigger and more modular with a logistics mall, blue belts, am3s, etc.
I might even spend time traveling to another planet and checking it out while nauvis spends time buffering some of the essential items like am3, blue belts, etc.
upgrading to the next tier should really kill some of this pollution since those steel furnances produce sooo much
clearing out biters with my tank. used 1 nuclear reactor with 8 shields but it is easy for the shields to be knocked down quickly....using explosive uranium shells really help out and they mostly 2 hit nests and mostly 1 hit everything else for now. Haven't come across behemoth biters yet!
outer garnet
Jumping back in today after playing some SC2 with my friend! Gonna clear out more biters and get myself a way bigger working area
outer garnet
Cleared out more of the map with my newer loadout of lasers in my power suit mk2 and tank loaded with shields. Been pretty useful so far!
outer garnet
Cleared out even more area...I am thinking of trying out a city block design. Never made one before so I'm not how exactly it'll go
outer garnet
Not quite the best looking or the best performing, but it'll do! Off to Fulgora once I actually figure out what I need
outer garnet
Been really busy at work this week! I got a cityblock design going since I've never done that before. Also got nuclear power going for some easy power. Hoping to get my smelting going next, and once I get my logistics mall set up, then I'll tear down my old base and repurpose that area!
I feel as though once I redo nauvis and get my newest items automated that it'll be time for me to explore space without worrying about how my infrastructure is set up at home

ayyy

It grows! Got my first cityblock smelting going. Fundamental stuff but planning to have 2 of these blocks to kickstart my space journey. Planning on having 8x red belts of iron and copper, 1 fully saturated steel red belt, 4 green, 1 red, and a partial belt of blue for my kickstart
hopefully with this much growth and using efficiency modules, it should limit my pollution enough to where it shouldn't touch any biter nests for now. Once I get more tech unlocked then I'll jump into killing off more of the locals again if I need room

my first real megabase was a cityblock style one; started with 100x100 blocks, but upgraded to 200x200 after getting to 2000SPM. The 100x100 is barely possible for the 1.x space science, and very cramped.

Finally tearing down my first base I made on this run...bittersweet moment!

Yes I may run into that problem as well...I have made a lot of room in my map so far but you do have a good point if I ever get to 1000x+ SPM
outer garnet
This should keep me satisfied for quite a while...!
Still need to set up everything I need to replace the second base and make more room. I also need to fix the uranium mining and the railroad connecting to the cityblocks
outer garnet
Even more!!!!
outer garnet
Got oil set up and I'm almost done getting plastic set up. Getting close to getting the other big intermediates done then it's the logistics mall and cleaning up the second base!

Started playing again and made it to Fulgora and set up everything (although messy) to get Electromagnetic science. Expanded the Nauvis grid a bit more. Soon enough I will finish getting the rockets set up on Fulgora, maybe clean things up, and then set my sights on Vulcanus!
Missed out on a lot of playing but glad to be back at it again!
outer garnet
Finally got my sciences set up to where I can resume researching but using resources from the cityblock outposts instead of the beginner base. Also added in a couple more nuclear plants and made a somewhat sushi belt for science labs. Having fun! Looking forward to the next planet.
outer garnet
Finished up Fulgora and almost done with Vulcanus. Got big mining drills, quality 3s, electromagnetic plants, recyclers, and foundries all automated. Just gotta add in the Metallurgical science with the Electromagnetic science back on Nauvis! Eventually I'll start creating artilleries and push out the biters while expanding and adding some defence to my outlying cityblocks and start using the saved up light oil that's sitting around not being used.
Also managed to get a rare mech armor after waiting way too long on crafting it. I expect getting higher quality items will get easier down the road.
