About this build

The Drunken Sailor, a cargo-heavy platform with 70 cargo bays and gun turret defence for runs between the inner planets. It has 843 buildings in a 56 by 61 tile area. Platforms are placed on space platform foundation from the hub.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 56 × 61 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Asteroid collector, Cargo bay, Space platform hub).
  • It has 15 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.
