About this build
A space platform design called STS Slim, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 29 by 89 tiles with 5 thrusters, 6 asteroid collectors, 4 crushers, 14 gun turrets, 4 rocket turrets, 2 railgun turrets, 57 laser turrets, 2 fusion reactors, 45 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 29 × 89 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Railgun turret, Rocket turret).
- It has 9 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.
