About this build
A space platform design called STS Railgun, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 44 by 83 tiles with 7 thrusters, 6 asteroid collectors, 5 crushers, 15 gun turrets, 6 rocket turrets, 2 railgun turrets, 31 laser turrets, 15 solar panels, 1 fusion reactors, 10 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 × 83 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Crusher, Asteroid collector, Railgun turret).
- It has 19 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.
