About this build
Ice Road Trucking, the author's second ship for Aquilo: fast, with lots of storage, laser turret defence and fusion power. It has 1,287 buildings in a 24 by 142 tile area. Platforms are placed on space platform foundation from the hub.
Tumi's notes: Second aquilo ship. Much faster, much more storage. Fusion power plant instead of nuclear.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 24 × 142 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Turbo transport belt, Turbo underground belt).
- It places rare and epic and uncommon quality items: your logistic network must hold them at that quality before robots can build it.
- It has 40 crafting machines and 1 beacons, 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.
