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. There are quite a few ways to play the mod: Easy Mode, which features a reduced recipe chain. Less intermediates, less structures. Platform Mode, which removes the rock formations and places you on a lone platform. Realistic Gases Mode, which replaces all the icons and world generation with more realistic colors.

g What is the Endgame?

So, I landed on Vesta a couple of days ago and went through the process of extracting gas and combining it in a seemingly endless series of combinations. I am now producing Iridium Plate and have various pipes snaking all over the island. It has been quite a chore.

Now I am looking ahead on the tech tree and see that I'm really only about halfway towards any of the final products. And, it doesn't really look like any of them will be of too much interest to me. Maybe the Fusion Robots might be nice, but everything else is just a moderate increase in efficiency in things I already have. I'm ready to just abandon the place and move on.

Does anyone really have any good stories and uses for the planet?

The Intermediate productivity research is crazy good, and that alone makes the planet worth it for me, not to mention the Transport belt capacity.

Vesta generally is regarded as THE planet to do legendary production without doing the Space Casino. Generally though the rewards from Vesta are the combustion furnaces which act as an alternative to foundries. Fusion Thrusters combined with Fusion Missiles allows ships to travel really fast between planets making science transport much easier. Fusion Robots are just a superior form of robot that don't need battery charging; of course if you have any form of Quality Bots, these are basically obsolete. Fusion Robots however are necessary for Shattered Planet given it has a x25 robot energy usage, so make sure you have a factory able to produce them if you plan on going that direction. DT Fuel and Magnetic Pipes allow for plasma transportation; obsolete of course if you have Plasma Ducts.
