Can anyone tell me how it is possible to do this im not even cappable to get there in 100h cant see how one is supposed to get 1 planet done in like <9h.
especially when gleba is doing gleba things
Any tips?

#

make as small a base as possible

#

my bases in my 19h run were literally like 10-30 machines each

#

it’s pretty simple tbh, nauvis is the only place that matters the other planets you build solely to produce what is required and nothing else

final ledge
#

ig then im just way to in efficent or get sidetracked to much?

unkempt locust
#

what I did was build 60spm on nauvis then just divert everything else into rockets and platform construction

final ledge
#

its not like im new to the game and i only did the old 8h achivent in a multiplayer i still think i may never have gotten that otherwise

unkempt locust
#

so basically I had all of my platforms ready to go by the time I was actually doing those planets

#

I had one ship that carried my character and starting supplies to new planets the others just took science and essential buildings and brought them to nauvis

final ledge
#

the most i struggle with is how do i really tell minimum build for ships i eiter underbuild or overbuild alot

vulcanus and fulgora are both incredibly easy to set up, for vulc you just need a bunch of discharge defenses to kill the one demolisher guarding the tungsten patch and power is infinite and jumpstarts fast since you go from pumpjack to chemplant to 500mw of steam turbines

#

I just made a ship blueprint that worked for fulgora and copy pasted that for the three starting planets

#

then a special one for Aquilo

#

Then one to get to edge of system

willow tide
#

all the ships I used were designed beforehand and 3/4 of the sciences were too

#

I found that the nauvis phase was the most important tbh

#

like you do actually want nauvis to be fairly robust

#

i mean rebulding when you get the planet excluseive stugff takes lots of time forme atleast

unkempt locust
#

That’s the neat part…you don’t

willow tide
#

I didn't even use planetary buildings on nauvis
other than biolabs

unkempt locust
#

I didn’t even do that

final ledge
#

okay then thats my problem i just MUST rebuild cause i feel im loosingout if i dont -.-

unkempt locust
#

it’s inefficient but we don’t care about efficiency in a speedrun you want…speed

#

simply N+1 normal machines

#

I didn’t invest in t3 assembler either

#

no beacons

#

no nuclear

willow tide
#

jesus

final ledge
#

i mean yoou dont really need nulear if you dont beaconscale for along time

unkempt locust
#

I had 400mw of steam power

final ledge
#

tahts what 200 enggines?

#

abit moroe ig

willow tide
#

you unlock turbines, heat exchangers, and heat pipes from unlocking heating tower

unkempt locust
#

uhh…400

final ledge
#

yeah heat towers

unkempt locust
#

440 or so actually

final ledge
#

never tryed usingem pon nauvis lol

unkempt locust
#

I just smeared a tileable steam setup in a line and pumped it full of excess solid fuel

#

I was pushing out like 80 refineries of oil processing at peak

#

well that was excessive I probably never used more than 20-30

#

but I just spammed hard and thought never

#

it was…heinously ugly, but i was done building platforms for the whole game before I arrived at gleba, Aquilo was a challenge but I just brute forced it with my massive production capacity and 20-30 rocket silos

#

in regular playthroughs players generally build factories that are intended to last for a very long time
in speedruns you build shit that will just work and avoid major refactorings cause that is a major pause in your pace
your factory should be constantly approaching its production limits and very rarely idle

#

speedruns are already under 9 hours, probably the best place to learn

final ledge
#

xD that is soo hard to do that

unkempt locust
#

Reject order, embrace chaos

#

I did some really cursed stuff in my run

#

It doesn’t need to look pretty it just as to shamble on long enough

#

I built my base from south to north, I decided I needed more steel production so I pasted 4 steel stacks at the north most end of my base, then belted solid fuel all the way through my base to the steel stacks since those were building solely space platform

#

It didn’t matter, it worked
