calcite harvesting from asteroids

[austere heath]

here's what I got so far, definitely pre-alpha (obviously)

finishing up the processing. I'll probably make it support one thruster just so I can launch them from vulcanus

I dunno how big is too big, or if there is such a thing 🤔

I guess maybe bigger means fewer platforms in the list

Heya, I'm finally a gamer who has access to asteroid calcite farming 🙂

Asteroid productivity sounds ridiculously OP for stationary harvesters

I've redirected my freighter ship to just ship all science to Gleba to really research the hell outta the new Gleba science I have access to

[austere heath]

be ready to redo all that once you have biolabs

[austere heath]

hard agree this tech is very useful for calcite farming

And the next thing I'm going to be doing after that is buildign the gleba -> nauvis express

to blast gleba science over to Nauvis before it expires

[austere heath]

that's good, but it's calcite harvesting in space part of that?

[jagged bridge]

Nah calcite in space will mainly be for Nauvis and Gleba

[austere heath]

okay, fyi I started this thread to talk about designs for calcite harvesting platforms

this lil guy has been reliable but I wanna finish the big one soon

I have finally reached the point where I'm beginning calcite platform construction 🙂

behold the foundation

I'm currently repurposing my original first nauvis platform as the calcite harvesting one

[austere heath]

that's a lot of crushers

[jagged bridge]

Amazingly, at this size they're warranted lol

Platform outputs 200 calcite/min, and naturally buffers a ring of oxide asteroids when storage is full

neat
