One of the things I found recently that I really like is that you can disable the game pausing in the tech screen. It’s a bit hidden, but:
In the main menu, hold ctrl+shift while clicking settings. Then click “the rest”. You can then disable the checkbox behind “technology-gui-pauses-game” and confirm.
Be careful though there are some settings in there that can really mess up your game.
i made the mistake of trying to learn Space Age on my own without reading spoilers.
i managed to get to space, build a platform, and seek out a new world. i though Gleba sounded pretty cool, so i went there first.
after much frustration, i am finally starting to get iron and copper made from a yumako & jellynut farm, but i needed more seeds for more production; i went searching for more jellynut to process by hand.
i just died in the middle of one of the bigboi nests (the only shooty thing i had was a few laser defense systems), and can’t get back to my body easily.
i still have pretty much zero production - what is a decent strategy to kill the thick furry big spiderbois? i really want to grab my body because of my lack of production. this was my first encounter with a fuzzy spiderboi, and i dont really understand their kit.
i really dont want to look online because i enjoy figuring out most stuff on my own - i dont want a lot of guidance on the things i am trying to figure out.
i ask about these fuzzy spiderbois because i am worried i will make a few poor attempts and find it too frustrating to continue (gleba has really tested my patience so far, heh).
I also just started on Gleba. Because iron and copper are incredibly slow I’m resorting to just dropping materials from Nauvis and Vulcanus with my standardized “Sportster” spaceship. Because significant production looks pretty much impossible I’m just gonna beeline for the rocket silo and agricultural science and go to Fulgora next.
I didn't have much trouble killing the small pentapods though:
Imported a tank, 500 red ammo, and 500 defender capsules, made quick work of the enemies lol.
How do I scale up production on Fulgora?
I went there first, and already brought back my first 1k Fulgora science. But I’m emptying the scrap field very quickly. It seems like all the large islands only have low amounts of scrap, like 300k or so, and only small islands have 30M or more. So far I don’t have technology to transport scrap between islands. Am I missing something, or do I need replicate my factory on every island in the beginning?
I don’t believe it’s possible. As far as I can tell, you’re very limited in how much you can scale up on any planet until you’ve gotten research from all the others. 300k scrap should get you about 3k science, plus you can mine those pink plants for holmium ore. That should be more than enough for your first visit.Correction: Elevated rails can be researched before you ever leave Nauvis. That should allow you to transport scrap between islands.
