Mid-game slim transport that can make its own stuff. Aquilo capable. Lots of combinators.
Requirements
- Advanced asteroid processing (i.e. the one that gives you copper)
- Foundaries from Vulcanus
- Rockets from Gleba
- Nuclear reactor if you want power at Aquilo
Features
- Auto assemblers with a selector combinator to dyamically make what's needed
- Red ammo
- Missiles
- White science
- Other stuff, e.g. heat pipes, anything you can make in an assembler without fluids
- Dumps excess ingredients into space (programmable)
- Auto asteroid reprocessing - one set of crushers that get dynamically assigned recipes
- Foundaries for iron/copper/steel
- Nuclear reactor, only turns on when at Aquilo
- Makes its own fuel, naturally
- Fuel limiter for engine efficiency from https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=118009
- No astroid chunks in the main cargo :)
Limitations
- Ammo production speed isn't great. It'll make the trip and can stay there but it needs some recovery time. Next version would have more assemblers.
- Auto-assembler currently need manual order programming
