Welp, after some bio farming, I think we’re in good shape for power, for a while. Let’s do some more expansion.

We can definitely afford to run a trash line, now. Nothing automated, just anything I toss into the trash crate, that can’t be made into Biofuel. We’ll be needing tickets soon enough.

Also definitely gonna need more Concrete production if I’m gonna be building foundations, so I added in another Normal node Miner, tripling the capacity.

Also went ahead and started building a slightly-more-proper beltways, instead of just running them along the ground.

With the Concrete production tripled, I figured I’d swap to Concrete foundations, to eliminate the need for Iron Plates in building them.

Basic Steel and Nobelisks automated.

With Nobelisks and Gas Masks available, I felt comfortable clearing the cave below the archway, and pulling up some SAM. Still can only hand-craft Fluctuators, until Phase 3, but that still helps.

Finally able to clear and pave over the big gas cloud area in the center.

Basic Caterium production built out.
