About this build
A space platform design called STS Solar, from Thomas Paine's Space Platforms book: 52 by 107 tiles with 5 thrusters, 6 asteroid collectors, 5 crushers, 12 gun turrets, 6 rocket turrets, 33 laser turrets, 134 solar panels, 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 52 × 107 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Crusher, Asteroid collector, Advanced thruster fuel recipe).
- It has 13 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.
