About this build

A space platform design called STS Fusion, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 44 by 82 tiles with 5 thrusters, 6 asteroid collectors, 5 crushers, 12 gun turrets, 6 rocket turrets, 38 laser turrets, 15 solar panels, 1 fusion reactors, 14 cargo bays. Platforms are placed on foundation tiles and must handle their own fuel and asteroids.

Thomas's notes: Recommend researching "Stronger Explosives" to level 12

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 44 × 82 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Crusher, Asteroid collector, Advanced thruster fuel recipe).
  • It has 14 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.
