About this build

A space platform design called Apollo I, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 64 by 62 tiles with 10 thrusters, 10 asteroid collectors, 9 crushers, 28 gun turrets, 9 rocket turrets, 89 solar panels, 11 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 64 × 62 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Rocket turret, Crusher).
  • It has 21 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.
