Starting on Gleba
Gleba runs on fruit. Agricultural towers grow yumako and jellynut, biochambers turn them into mash and jelly, and those spoil within minutes. Everything on Gleba is about keeping products moving and giving spoilage a way out.
- Farms. An agricultural tower reaches 7 × 7 sectors of 3 × 3 tiles and plants up to 47 trees, which take 5 minutes to grow.
- Process fruit where it is used. Mash spoils after 3 minutes and jelly after 4, while the fruit itself lasts an hour: ship fruit, not mash.
- Bioflux. 6 bioflux biochambers, 5 yumako and 2 jellynut chambers make 12 bioflux per second. See the bioflux ratio.
- Keep nutrients cycling. Biochambers burn nutrients as fuel; a chamber without them stops.
- Defend the farms. Gleba's pentapods come for the spores your farms give off, so protect the agricultural towers.
Gleba questions
Why is my Gleba base full of spoilage?
A belt backed up. On Gleba a full belt rots: pull spoilage out of every machine and burn or recycle the surplus instead of buffering it.
How long does agricultural science last?
One hour before it spoils, and spoiled packs are useless, so research with it close to where it is made or ship it quickly.
