Starting on Fulgora
Fulgora has only two resources: scrap, mined on the islands, and heavy oil from the sea. Everything else comes out of recyclers: one recycler turns 2.5 scrap per second into gears, solid fuel, concrete, ice, stone, steel, batteries, cable, circuits, low density structures and holmium ore.
- Recycle scrap, then sort it. A yellow belt of scrap feeds 6 recyclers. The full output table is in the scrap recycling guide.
- Plan for surplus from the start. Products come out at fixed rates; whatever you do not use must be recycled away, or the whole line stops.
- Power from lightning. Lightning rods and collectors catch the nightly storms and charge your accumulators: plan accumulators for about 60% of the day.
- Holmium and the electromagnetic plant. Holmium ore only comes from scrap, and it unlocks electromagnetic science and the electromagnetic plant.
Fulgora questions
Why does my scrap line keep stopping?
One product backed up. Send every product's overflow to a few recyclers that eat surplus: raw items like ice and stone come back only a quarter of the time, so the loop deletes them.
Where do I get iron on Fulgora?
From recycling the iron gear wheels scrap gives (20% of all scrap), and from the steel plates in scrap.
