Planet Vesta


A gas giant in the distance. There appears to be a lone chunks of rock spread about in the almost concerningly thick atmosphere. Vesta is the gas world, and all about gases. Please read the Changelog before updating to 2.0.

g Recipe ideas [Multitopic]

10 days ago

Hi BlackHeart,

I pass through your planet and I think most of the recipes are overcomplicated and may bring some confusion to existing recipes.
But it is very nicely done planet, the gas management is very nice.

Minor recipe adjustments:
- processing units may be produced normally without Lithium, because there is already source of sulphur in the resources and because you can make iron, copper, methan (which is a usable gas for natural gas polymerization), then the lithium makes there no sense.
- as mentioned, brine and lithium is not needed
- rocket fuel should be made directly by creating of fuel cells (hydrogen and oxygen tanks), this recipe should be then taken to other planets
- the heavy oil is maybe not needed to be made on the planet, in case belts are imported, but beacause most resources are moved by pipes, it will be not neccesary to have it.
- the plastics shoud be made directly from methan or by natural gas conversion (algea processing shoud be used in the current form)
- but I'm not sure how to manage the iron and copper, maybe it would look nice, they would appear like metheors ocassionaly, see the Fulgora storms, that shoud bring a special meteor storm shields (magnetic) that shuld be later used in further space exploration

So the main Ideas:

  • External iron and copper source - meteors (coal and sulphur maybe not)
  • Replace Lithium with existing production (sulphur acid in processing units)
  • The planet should have big atmospheric pressure and gravity that may cause, some production cannot be done

PS: there should be also used wind as power source and very stable usable in the steam turbines.

Planet's already been heavily simplified since 1.0, and as a post-Aquilo planet, it needs some amount of complication to it. I will not be simplifying it any further.

To the complication I understand, but the sulphur and processing units may be reconnected ;-)
