g Graphite, Titanium and Gleba Start progress issue

2 months ago

Hi,
When doing Any Planet Start on Gleba and using both Titanium and Graphite mods, there is a progress issue that happens very soon.
For logistic (green) science, green circuits are required, which require graphite (fine).
But when Titanium is enabled, making graphite requires vacuum, which requires titanium, which can only be unlocked with chemical (blue) science.
So it seems impossible to automate green science until some blue science techs are unlocked.
I know that flake graphite can be hand mined from rocks on Gleba, but it makes it very annoying that it cannot be automated in any ways. Unless I missed something..?
Suggestion: Maybe add another recipe for graphite on Gleba that would be as efficient but with lower requirements. I'm not only talking about vacuum, but also carbon, which is a bit hard to obtain that early in the run (feels quite complicated for green science). Something like 10 spoilage to produce 1 graphite maybe..?
Thanks :)
