Fulgora is an impossible start.
Water is essential to progress but is locked behind the "Space platform thruster" research, is it possible to have it moved to another earlier research?

Oh dang you're right. This is what I get for testing on the same save as Vulcanus instead of starting over.

Heavy Oil > Light Oil > Petroleum > Sulfur > Acid > Steam > Water seems like a long chain for this if the solution is to make it possible to condense steam. Maybe that's fine though. If anyone has alternative suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.

Might be best to just add a new tech that unlocks Ice Melting when you craft ice after starting on Fulgora. Hopefully there's enough scrap around to be able to make enough water without too much excessive effort.

Heavy Oil > Light Oil > Petroleum > Sulfur > Acid

Every one of these steps actually needs water and in Fulgora is expected to be what you use Ice for.

Yeah that's the plan.

TY for the water fix, now i've encountered a new problem: Medium asteroids in orbit that make REALLY hard to build a new platform on fulgora
