About this build
A space platform design called Apollo IV, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 48 by 106 tiles with 7 thrusters, 12 asteroid collectors, 8 crushers, 15 railgun turrets, 114 laser turrets, 38 solar panels, 1 fusion reactors, 14 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 48 × 106 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Railgun turret, Crusher).
- It has 43 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.
