About this build
A space platform design called STS Inner, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 40 by 71 tiles with 5 thrusters, 6 asteroid collectors, 4 crushers, 8 gun turrets, 17 laser turrets, 44 solar panels, 8 cargo bays. Platforms are placed on foundation tiles and must handle their own fuel and asteroids.
Thomas's notes: Inner system shuttle transport system where solar power works and rockets are not needed.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 40 × 71 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Crusher, Advanced thruster fuel recipe).
- It has 7 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.
