About this build
A space platform design called Apollo II, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 44 by 101 tiles with 7 thrusters, 13 asteroid collectors, 6 crushers, 48 gun turrets, 6 rocket turrets, 29 solar panels, 18 cargo bays. Platforms are placed on foundation tiles and must handle their own fuel and asteroids.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 44 × 101 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Rocket turret, Crusher).
- It has 24 crafting machines, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
- It is large: construction robots will place it much faster than building by hand.
- It has turrets: keep them supplied with ammunition or power.
- It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
