Build platforms in orbit using the new space platform hub. They require structural tiles, thrusters, and asteroid collectors. Version 2
The core loop of Space Age is brutal in its elegance. You leave Nauvis. You land on a hellscape. You realize you forgot to bring inserters . The core loop of Space Age is brutal in its elegance
: A biological world requiring "bio-engineering." Resources here decay over time, forcing you to build factories that manage freshness and spoilage.
Manually feeding a space platform is a trap. Build a dedicated "Space Mall" on Nauvis that fulfills requests for platform tiles and thrusters.
