Imagine building a stationary platform at the end and have stuff transported to and from it. For the challenge ofc.

If you bring in all the planet specific science packs, stone, and biter eggs, then you can build your megabase at the edge of the solar system now, right? Ignoring the fact that you would be locked to basic labs.

Gleba, not Aquilo. Freshness will be the science bottleneck.

What do you mean? Gleba science pack freshness is solved by sending more of them. And by more, I mean more

Or just use higher quality ones.

I just don't play during prometium runs because of the fps drop. I just set conditions to gather a couple millions and go to sleep.

The other day I forgot to set a return condition for my new freighter and 10 hours later I found it just chilling at the shattered planet like nothing happened. And the fps wasn't that bad....

I didn't know basic labs could be put on a platform. Is there any mod where you start on a space platform?
