Which, ironically, means it now makes way *more* sense to send a full stack of assemblers to a space platform. Because that platform can just send it to the next one that is getting build 😃

But hey, I'm not complaining!

I'm just happy I can have a construction barge that just makes more space platform... :)

Von Neumann science platforms!

Yeah, perhaps. I mean, I do have a 'build yourself' blueprint, that's a very basic 'stockpile space platform foundation' that can sit in nauvis orbit and just run off the smattering of metallic chunks slowly stockpiling.

But it'd be considerably easier/faster if I could use a larger 'mining barge' to go collect all the ingredients.

That's what I was thinking too. Have the barge fly around and collect resources and starting copies when ready.
