i've only just completed Scale Plate Green 1 project, with a very minimalistic "storage only" , import/buy EVERYTHING approach.

been tinkering w. the setup since i moved out.

180 S/M ship production modules (1440 drones in theory)
still expanding storage.
Container 461,000,000 m3
Solid 125,000,000 m3
Liquid 119,000,000 m3
a single module of nearly every production available (i'm hoping it'll fill up due to the large storage, and automatic high-priced buy orders)

moved into Memory of Profit 9 , and completed a "deliver 2M units of water" project in a single swarm of drones.

might have to " hop" the station around to gather the materials for the Atiya's Misfortune mission (thanks for the other thread/recap Grapedog) been stockpiling TER building materials since i stopped building Asgards a while ago.

Mars, Jupiter, Asteroid Belt, and Segaris, can all reach Atiya's Misfortune...so you can get some deliveries. What can also help is building a small raw resource trading post in like saturn, and all it does is feed TER/PIO factories raw resources. Saturn is 5 jumps from all of TER/PIO space, so it can feed all the factories. The idea is that feeding them, helps them produce plenty of stuff you'll need to buy from them. I think just for the tehctonic scaffolding alone I needed like 6.1 million microlattice, which is ridiculous... and that was after doing the first two easy factory projects. But yeah, it is a LOT of Terran materials needed, a lot of materials in general are needs for Atiya's... it's not a fun terraforming project.

Good luck with that one!

thanks, it's nice to have goals. :)

yeah, i've already seen a lot of TER traffic moving towards me now that i'm in range of terran space (seeing serious traffic jams @ the build storage, huge bottleneck there)

have about 8M Metallic Microlattice sitting in a warehouse (Matrix#9), getting it to Atiya's is gonna be a pain though.

i wish the vanilla game could facilitate this.. "create trade route: select ware: 6.1M M.Microlattice, select source, select destination, assign ships 0/256, confirm"
