== Scrap reycling recipe icon ==

I added the icon for the scrap recycling recipe, but I'm still learning the ropes here trying to get it to look a bit better format-wise. [[User:Deusxmachina|Deusxmachina]] ([[User talk:Deusxmachina|talk]]) 17:59, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

- Most icons from the game are already uploaded, you should use them instead. [[File:Scrap_recycling.png]] --[[User:Morse|Morse]] ([[User talk:Morse|talk]]) 21:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

== Percentage of total output ==

I feel like this column could do with some more explanation. I'm assuming it's the percentage of total output if you were looping the recycler output back on itself, but it's not immediately apparent, and makes the "output per scrap" column quite confusing because it doesn't add up to 100%.

[[User:Systemparadox|Systemparadox]] ([[User talk:Systemparadox|talk]]) 17:06, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Oh I see, it's because the output from scrap recycling is only 60%. I have attempted to clarify this.

Systemparadox: Attempt to clarify the 60% scrap recycling output

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Scrap}}
{{About/Space age}}
'''Scrap''' is a resource found on [[Fulgora]]{{SA}}. It needs to be recycled by hand or in the [[recycler]]{{SA}} to get usable products.

When traveling further from the drop location the scrap piles will ''not'' get more dense with ore. The most dense scrap piles are found under the [[Fulgoran vault ruin]]s.

The scrap recycling recipe takes 0.2 seconds per scrap at crafting speed 1.

Recycling a full belt of scrap will (on average) produce a belt that is 60% full, because the percentages of the scrap recycling recipe only add up to 60%.

The probability for each resource is rolled independently; it is possible for a single craft to produce multiple resources.

Further recycling of these products allows the player to also obtain the following resources out of scrap:

Recycling cannot undo chemistry, which means that it is not possible to obtain crude/light/heavy oil, petroleum, lubricant, coal or sulfur from scrap.

{{About/Space age}}
[[File:aquilo_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Aquilo''' is a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. [[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] requires [[rocket turret]]s, [[Advanced asteroid processing (research)]], and [[heating tower]]s from Gleba, [[Asteroid reprocessing (research)]] from [[Vulcanus]], and [[Electromagnetic science pack (research)]] from [[Fulgora]].

[[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

|}

=== Natural resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* [[Ammoniacal solution]]{{SA}} (via [[offshore pump]] on the edge of the ammoniacal seas)
* [[Lithium brine]]{{SA}} (via [[pumpjack]])
* [[Fluorine]]{{SA}} (via pumpjack)
* [[Crude oil]] (via pumpjack)

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Iron ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Copper ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner. All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

=== Ice terrain ===

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed, but [[landfill]] and [[foundation]]{{SA}} are no help. Instead, you must use [[ice platform|ice platforms]]{{SA}}. These platforms are created by first using [[ammoniacal solution separation]]{{SA}} to make [[ice]]{{SA}} and [[ammonia]]{{SA}}, then re-combining those into a platform that can be placed on the ocean like [[landfill]].

Snowy terrain can be built on directly, but on any kind of ice terrain or [[ice platform]], most buildings will require an insulating floor of [[concrete]] tiles or derivatives before they can be placed. [[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. The harsh ambient temperatures drain the energy from any airborne [[construction robot|construction robots]] and [[logistic robot|logistic robots]], making them consume 5 times more power than normal. And most buildings will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] or heat generator. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]{{SA}}.

Once a building is adjacent to a heat source above 29°C (30.01°C or higher), it will consume heat energy to maintain its state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat source. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

For details on heat throughput, see the [[heat pipe]] page.

A building is adjacent to a heat source when it is one tile away from the heat source either orthogonally or diagonally. All of the [[pipe|pipes]] would be heated in the below example:

=== Solar energy ===
Aquilo is far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s on its surface only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis: 0.6 kW peak production. This makes panels practical for little more than powering a handful of [[inserter]]s to jump start heat production.

Raw fish

Systemparadox: It is not possible to put fish into the water

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Raw fish}}<div style="overflow: hidden">
'''Raw fish''' can be harvested from [[water]]. They can be used to refill a small amount of health instantly. In order to catch raw fish, mine one of the dark spots that can be found moving around in water bodies. Each dark spot yields 5 fish when mined. Fish can be also collected via [[construction robot]]s, by marking a water area that contains fish with a [[deconstruction planner]].

Raw fish is used to heal by clicking on the character or anywhere else in the world with the fish in the cursor. They heal 80 HP each and have a short cooldown for reuse, limiting the amount of incoming DPS that fish healing can absorb. Using a fish produces a munching sound.

Using [[landfill]] on water where a fish is swimming will "destroy" the fish. Fish can be shot and killed via [[pistol]] or [[submachine gun]], and also by explosions, but are immune to any kind of [[shotgun]] fire. Shooting fish does not grant any fish items.

Fish are created in water when the world is generated and do not despawn or respawn.

In [[Space Age]]{{SA}}, fish can be automated by breeding them in a [[biochamber]]{{SA}} after unlocking the fish breeding recipe with [[agricultural science pack]]s{{SA}}. Fish breeding can only be conducted on [[Nauvis]]. Fish also are given a [[spoilage]]{{SA}} time of just over 2 hours.

It is not possible to place fish back into the water (using inserters or otherwise).

Note that the fish produced by this recipe always have 100% freshness. Unlike most catalytic recipes, this recipe is allowed to use [[quality module]]s.

* The fish item icon is meant to represent a [[Wikipedia:en:European perch|European perch]], a freshwater fish widespread in Europe and elsewhere.

* Prior to version [[version history/2.0.0#2.0.7|2.0]] it was possible to automate fish by launching [[space science pack]]s with a [[rocket silo]], which would return fish at a 1:1 ratio, to a maximum of 100 fish per launch.
* In Space Age, a base quality fish has a [[spoilage mechanics|spoilage]] time of 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 50 seconds. This equates to 7,550 seconds, or 453,000 [[time#Ticks|game ticks]], which is a reference to developer V453000, the artist behind the fish icon.

[[File:gleba_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Gleba''' is a moist, agricultural planet with fungal hills and swampy lowlands.

It is home to the [[pentapods]]{{SA}}, which are spider-like [[enemies]] who are attracted to the scent of biological processing called Spores, similar to the way that [[Nauvis]] creatures negatively respond to [[pollution]].

== Mechanics ==
{{main|Spoilage mechanics}}
Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into [[spoilage]],{{SA}} with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.

The [[Biochamber]], Gleba's special production building, uses a fuel source, [[nutrients]]. Nutrients also can spoil, and have a short, 5 minute spoil time.

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} is readily available using offshore pumps
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} can be mined from patches on the surface as normal
* {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Iron bacteria}}, which can be cultivated in a {{NavboxIconLink|Biochamber}} using {{NavboxIconLink|Iron bacteria cultivation}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Copper bacteria}}, which can be cultivated in a biochamber using {{NavboxIconLink|Copper bacteria cultivation}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} can be obtained via {{NavboxIconLink|Coal synthesis}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} is not available. However:
** {{NavboxIconLink|Plastic bar}}s can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Bioplastic}}
** {{NavboxIconLink|Sulfur}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Biosulfur}}
** {{NavboxIconLink|Lubricant}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Biolubricant}}
** {{NavboxIconLink|Rocket fuel}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Rocket fuel from jelly}}
** {{NavboxIconLink|Heavy oil}} can be obtained using {{NavboxIconLink|Coal liquefaction}}, if the initial heavy oil is shipped in from another planet. This is only really useful for {{NavboxIconLink|flamethrower turret}}s, since all other oil products can be obtained more efficiently using the bio recipes.

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[alien ruins]], which have rudimentary lightning rods, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own lightning rods. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]]{{SA}}, Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s{{SA}}. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]].

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built without research. 

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each chunk once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will target entities based on priority first and then random for any entity not on the priority list (Higher priority gets hit first)
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Lightning priority
|-

|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Lightning collector}}{{SA}} || 10,000

|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Fulgoran ruin big}} || 92
|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Fulgoran ruin medium}} || 91
|}

The following items have a priority of 1:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Pipe}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Offshore pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Small electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Medium electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Big electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Substation}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Power switch}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Logistic robot}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Construction robot}}
* Anything with the "Metal" impact soundset

The following entities cannot be struck by the lightning:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail support}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail ramp}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail chain signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Locomotive}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Artillery wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Cargo wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluid wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Wall}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Tree}}
* Any item that counts as rock for "filtered destruction" (presumably this means {{NavboxIconLink|Recycler}})

When a [[lightning rod]] or a [[lightning collector]] is struck by lightning, it will generate a brief but powerful burst of electric energy, which can be utilized by connecting it to the [[electric system|electric network]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
*{{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Holmium ore}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Solid fuel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Steel plate}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Copper cable}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Iron gear wheel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Battery}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Advanced circuit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Processing unit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Low density structure}}

Since this list includes intermediate products, such as [[processing unit]]s, but no iron or copper plates, players are often forced to further recycle many of these items in order to obtain their ingredients. Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid cluttering their belts with unused resources. 

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} via {{NavboxIconLink|Ice melting}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} comes from recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}} and {{NavboxIconLink|iron plate}}s can be obtained by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|copper plate}}s can be obtained by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} cannot be obtained and must be shipped in from other planets. However:
** {{NavboxIconLink|Plastic bar}}s can be obtained by by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Heavy oil}} is readily available using offshore pumps

=== Biomes ===
Nauvis has a few distinct biomes:
* '''Grasslands''' features plains of green grass. Large parts of these are covered with trees.
* '''Sandy Desert''' has barren terrain, with a few dead trees scattered about.
* '''Red Desert'''

===Natural Resources=== 
The native raw resources on Nauvis are {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Uranium ore}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Water}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Wood}}, and {{NavboxIconLink|Raw fish}}. Among these, only water and crude oil are renewable with local research, as their sources do not run dry.

Out of these nine resources, the first five are found in ore patches and harvested using a {{NavboxIconLink|Burner mining drill}}, an {{NavboxIconLink|Electric mining drill}}, or (if Space Age is installed) a {{NavboxIconLink|Big mining drill}}. In addition, Uranium Ore requires a constant supply of {{NavboxIconLink|Sulfuric acid}} in order for the drills to function and can't be mined using Burner mining drill.

Water is harvested by placing an {{NavboxIconLink|Offshore pump}} on the side of a lake. It will produce water indefinitely, as water does not run out. It requires no energy or fuel.

Crude oil is harvested by placing a {{NavboxIconLink|Pumpjack}} on an oil field. It requires energy to function. With continuous use, the same oil field will produce oil at a gradually slower rate, but this decrease in production will stop when production is at 20% of its initial value, making crude oil a renewable resource on Nauvis.

Stone, coal, wood, and raw fish can be obtained by mining naturally spawning entities. (In case of stone and coal, this is in addition to being found in ore patches.) Mining a [[Rock]] will yield stone, and if it is "huge", it will also yield coal. [[Tree]]s yield wood when mined. Finally, "mining" a fish (shown as a dark, moving spot in water) will yield the fish as five items.

==Mechanics== 

===Pollution=== 
{{Main|Pollution}}
On Nauvis, many buildings produce pollution while active. This pollution is local to the chunk on which it is produced, but will spread to other chunks over time. It is consumed by Nauvis' natural environment, but if it reaches a spawner, it will provoke an attack from its biters/spitters.

== Biomes ==
Vulcanus has three distinct biomes.
* '''Ashlands''' are plateaus speckled with sparse vegetation and deposits of [[coal]]. They are home to leafless alien trees. They are relatively free of cliffs and lava, making them ideal for building.
* '''Lava basins''' are filled with winding lava rivers. Within them are deposits of [[tungsten ore]]{{SA}}, which can only be mined using the big mining drill.
* '''Mountains''' are large volcanoes, covered in cliffs and with a large lava pool at their center. They are home to [[sulfuric acid]] geysers and [[calcite]]{{SA}}. 

==Demolisher Territories==

Native to Vulcanus are the giant centipede-like enemies known as "demolishers".

Demolishers have well-defined territories. On the map, these territories are outlined by an opaque, bright red line and the inside is marked by diagonal, translucent, red lines. Only one demolisher will spawn per territory, and the territories themselves do not overlap. However, they are tightly packed, as they follow a Voronoi-like pattern. At the start of the game, only Vulcanus' starting area is not inside a demolisher's territory.

When left alone, a demolisher will patrol the border of its territory. However, if players build inside of a demolisher's territory, it will soon make a beeline towards these buildings with the intent of destroying them. Building inside of a demolisher's territory is therefore extremely risky and dangerous.

The death of a demolisher is permanent, as they only spawn during world generation. Likewise, upon the death of a demolisher, its territory permanently becomes free for the player to use, as other demolishers will not try to expand their territories.

* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}}

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[Lithium Ice Formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} can be obtained via {{NavboxIconLink|Ammoniacal solution separation}} and {{NavboxIconLink|Ice melting}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets

* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==
=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. Most entities will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] in an adjacent tile. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]. Buildings also cannot be placed on the surface of the iceberg itself; [[concrete]] (or its variants) must be placed underneath as an insulator. The harshly low temperature will also make [[construction robot]]s and [[logistic robot]]s much weaker, making them consume 5 times more power than normal.

Following Entities are immune from freezing
*{{NavboxIconLink|Solar panel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Accumulator}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Heat exchanger}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Heating tower}}

=== Solar ===
Aquilo is also far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis, or 0.6 kW during the day.

== Mechanics ==
=== {{NavboxIconLink|Spoilage}} ===
Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into [[spoilage]],{{SA}} with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.

When crafting with spoilable items, the final product will inherit the freshness value of the ingredients. The three exceptions are [[Iron Bacteria|iron]] and [[copper bacteria]] cultivation, [[pentapod eggs]] and [[fish]] breeding, whose recipes will always result in a 100% fresh product, regardless of the freshness of the ingredients.

When crafting with two different spoilable items of different freshness values, like in the [[agricultural science pack]]{{SA}} and [[bioflux]]{{SA}} recipes, the final product's freshness is determined by the average of the ingredients' freshness.

The agricultural science pack does spoil, which will gradually decrease its research value, so the player is incentivized to build a fast space platform to bring them back to Nauvis.

Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients does not matter in the product being produced.

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[alien ruins]], which have rudimentary lightning rods, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own lightning rods. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]]{{SA}}, Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s{{SA}}. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]].

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built without research. 

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each chunk once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will target entities based on priority first and then random for any entity not on the priority list (Higher priority gets hit first)
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Lightning priority

* {{NavboxIconLink|Pipe}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Offshore pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Small electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Medium electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Big electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Substation}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Power switch}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Logistic robot}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Construction robot}}
* Anything with the "Metal" impact soundset

The following entities cannot be struck by the lightning:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail support}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail ramp}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail chain signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Locomotive}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Artillery wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Cargo wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluid wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Wall}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Tree}}
* Any item that counts as rock for "filtered destruction" (presumably this means {{NavboxIconLink|Recycler}})

When a [[lightning rod]] or a [[lightning collector]] is struck by lightning, it will generate a brief but powerful burst of electric energy, which can be utilized by connecting it to the [[electric system|electric network]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
*{{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Holmium ore}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Solid fuel}}

*{{NavboxIconLink|Iron gear wheel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Battery}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Advanced circuit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Processing unit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Low density structure}}

Since this list includes intermediate products, such as [[processing unit]]s, but no iron or copper plates, players are often forced to further recycle many of these items in order to obtain their ingredients. Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid cluttering their belts with unused resources.

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[alien ruins]], which have rudimentary lightning rods, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own lightning rods. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]]{{SA}}, Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s{{SA}}. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]].

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built without research. 

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each chunk once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will target entities based on priority first and then random for any entity not on the priority list (Higher priority gets hit first)
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Lightning priority
|-

|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Lightning collector}}{{SA}} || 10,000

|-

|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Fulgoran ruin medium}} || 91
|}

The following items have a priority of 1:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Pipe}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Offshore pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Small electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Medium electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Big electric pole}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Substation}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Power switch}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Logistic robot}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Construction robot}}
* Anything with the "Metal" impact soundset

The following entities cannot be struck by the lightning:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail support}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail ramp}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail chain signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Locomotive}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Artillery wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Cargo wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluid wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Wall}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Tree}}
* Any item that counts as rock for "filtered destruction" (presumably this means {{NavboxIconLink|Recycler}})

When a [[lightning rod]] or a [[lightning collector]] is struck by lightning, it will generate a brief but powerful burst of electric energy, which can be utilized by connecting it to the [[electric system|electric network]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
*{{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} {{SA}}

Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid cluttering their belts with unused resources.

=== Biomes ===
Nauvis has a few distinct biomes:
* '''Grasslands''' features plains of green grass. Large parts of these are covered with trees.
* '''Sandy Desert''' has barren terrain, with a few dead trees scattered about.
* '''Red Desert'''

===Natural Resources=== 
The native raw resources on Nauvis are {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Uranium ore}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Water}}, {{NavboxIconLink|Wood}}, and {{NavboxIconLink|Raw fish}}. Among these, only water and crude oil are renewable with local research, as their sources do not run dry.

Out of these nine resources, the first five are found in ore patches and harvested using a {{NavboxIconLink|Burner mining drill}}, an {{NavboxIconLink|Electric mining drill}}, or (if Space Age is installed) a {{NavboxIconLink|Big mining drill}}. In addition, Uranium Ore requires a constant supply of {{NavboxIconLink|Sulfuric acid}} in order for the drills to function and can't be mined using Burner mining drill.

Water is harvested by placing an {{NavboxIconLink|Offshore pump}} on the side of a lake. It will produce water indefinitely, as water does not run out. It requires no energy or fuel.

Crude oil is harvested by placing a {{NavboxIconLink|Pumpjack}} on an oil field. It requires energy to function. With continuous use, the same oil field will produce oil at a gradually slower rate, but this decrease in production will stop when production is at 20% of its initial value, making crude oil a renewable resource on Nauvis.

Stone, coal, wood, and raw fish can be obtained by mining naturally spawning entities. (In case of stone and coal, this is in addition to being found in ore patches.) Mining a [[Rock]] will yield stone, and if it is "huge", it will also yield coal. [[Tree]]s yield wood when mined. Finally, "mining" a fish (shown as a dark, moving spot in water) will yield the fish as five items.

==Mechanics== 

===Pollution=== 
{{Main|Pollution}}
On Nauvis, many buildings produce pollution while active. This pollution is local to the chunk on which it is produced, but will spread to other chunks over time. It is consumed by Nauvis' natural environment, but if it reaches a spawner, it will provoke an attack from its biters/spitters.

Space platform

2024-11-12T01:12:55Z

Systemparadox: /* Access to basic resources */ Plastic is possible but difficult

{{Languages}}
{{Stub}}
{{About/Space age}}
[[File:Space platform.jpg|thumb|Space platform example provided by Wube in "Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms"]]

'''Space platforms''' are factories that can be built in outer space. Each space platform is a self-contained factory supported by a [[space platform hub]].

== Purpose ==
Broadly speaking, there are three purposes which space platforms might serve:
* To perform recipes that can only be performed in space, such as when manufacturing [[space science pack]]s.
* To transport players and items between planets.
* To collect and process [[asteroids]].

== Creation and deletion ==
Space platforms are created by loading a [[space platform starter pack]] into a rocket and pressing the button to create a new space platform. Alternatively, players may order the creation of a space platform from the remote view through the list on the top-left corner of the screen, in which case the necessary space platform starter pack is treated as a request from a not-yet-existing space platform around the specified planet. Either way, players are then allowed to name their new space platform. Note that space platforms can later be renamed from the menus of their space platform hubs.

Platforms can be deleted. After confirming that the platform is to be deleted, the deleted platform goes into a queue, which is located at the bottom of the platform list. Should the player regret their decision, then this gives several minutes to decide if they want to undo the removal of the platform before it is permanently deleted.

If the platform hub is destroyed, the entire space platform and all of its contents are lost. When this happens, the [[player|character]] will respawn at the last planet they were at before going to space.

== Construction ==
Unlike planetary surfaces, space platforms can only be seen and edited by using the remote view. Therefore, players will order the construction of a space platform by placing ghosts. Instead of [[construction robot]]s being used for constructing the space platform, the platform itself will automatically construct ghost entities and move ghost items to and from the platform hub as soon as materials are available and these actions are not obstructed. If the necessary materials are not available, they will be automatically requested from the planet at which the space platform is stationed.

A newly-created space platform consists of a 10x10 square of [[space platform foundation]] with a [[space platform hub]] in its center, all surrounded by empty space. Unlike most buildings, the space platform hub can not be removed, and its destruction directly results in the loss of the entire space platform.

As nothing can be built on empty space, the platform must first be expanded with more space platform foundation. The platform's foundation must consist of a single connected area with no detached islands, and holes of empty space surrounded by foundation are not allowed; Should these rules be broken, then the violating tiles will not be built or removed before the issue is resolved.

[[Asteroid collector]]s and [[thruster]]s can only be built on the edge of the platform. In particular, thrusters can only be built on the southern edge, and no foundation can be built within the rectangular area extending from the southern edge of the thruster towards infinity.

The entire platform surface functions as an electrical connection, so space platforms do not need any power poles.

=== Building restrictions ===
Some buildings can not be built on space platforms:
* [[Chests]] can't be built in space. The main storage device is the platform hub.
* [[Robots]] and [[roboport]]s don't function in space, and no [[railway]] items can be built.
* [[Burner devices]] can't be built in space. According to [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-381 FFF-381], this is to add "a bit of realism as there's no atmosphere in space".
* Advanced buildings that require certain surface conditions can't be built on the platform, such as the [[biochamber]] and [[biolab]]s. This is the same as for any other surface.

Electric poles can be built, but the global electric network covering the entire platform powers all devices. As such, electric poles are only useful as a way to [[circuit network|wire together]] distant entities.

== Transport between planets and space platforms ==

To transport players and items between a planet's surface and a space platform, the space platform must be stationed in orbit around the planet.

Items are delivered up to a platform by launching a [[rocket]] from a [[rocket silo]]. This can be done in one of three ways:
* Filling the rocket manually or using by inserters, then manually sending the rocket towards the space platform by using the rocket silo's menu. This method allows sending rockets with several different types of items inside the same rocket, but can not be automated.
* Assigning logistic requests to the space platform hub, then filling a rocket with items of a type that is being requested, either manually or using by inserters. The rocket will then launch automatically. Only one type of item may be sent per rocket using this method.
* Assigning logistic requests to the space platform hub while having a rocket silo set to request items from the logistic network. This allows [[logistic robot]]s to fill the rocket automatically, and the rocket will launch automatically when full. Only one type of item will be sent per rocket.

The space platform hub will automatically request any items that are needed for construction of the platform. Automatic requests can receive items from any planet, whereas manual requests will only be fulfilled at one planet specified by the player. For manual requests, it is also possible to set a custom minimum payload per rocket instead of only accepting full rockets.

Items can be sent to a planet orbited by a space platform in one of two ways:
* Manually moving items into the platform hub's orbital drop slots.
* Assigning logistic requests to a planet's [[cargo landing pad]].

The items will then be carried to the planet's surface by [[cargo pod]]s. If the planet has a cargo landing pad, then the cargo pods will go there, placing their payloads directly inside the cargo landing pad's inventory (spilling the items if the cargo landing pad is already full). Otherwise, the cargo pod will land at a random location near the planet's spawn point. Landed cargo pods will wait for players to collect their payloads, and are automatically destroyed when emptied.

Unlike transfers from a planet's surface to a space platform, transfers from space platforms to planetary surfaces come at no material costs despite the appearance of a cargo pod.

== Passengers ==
Player characters can travel to space platforms by riding a rocket, and can likewise leave the platform in a cargo pod.

One character traveling to a space platform takes up an entire rocket, and is not allowed to carry any items in their inventory, except for their equipped weapons and armor (but not ammunition). All other items must be transferred to the space platform hub in separate rockets.

Characters aboard space platforms are locked inside the space platform hub, unable to move. The player is therefore locked into remote view until they drop their character to a planetary surface. Note that there is no way to access a player's inventory while in this state.

== Travel ==
Space platforms with one or more [[thruster]]s are able to perform voyages between different space locations, such as planets. The more thrusters that are installed on a platform, the faster the platform can get to its destination, but this also causes asteroids to appear faster and threaten the platform. When the thrusters are stopped while in mid-destination, the platform will slowly move toward the destination it's closer to via gravitational pull.

=== Weight ===
Platform weight depends on how many [[space platform foundation]] tiles the platform has. Each tile of [[space platform foundation]] weighs 200kg or 0.2 tons. The [[space platform hub]] itself weighs 20 tons. Notably, extra [[cargo bay]]s do not increase the platform's weight (aside from requiring [[space platform foundation]] under them).

== Asteroids ==
{{main|asteroids}}

Space platforms regularly encounter [[asteroids]].

The smallest asteroids are called "chunks". Chunks can be collected by [[asteroid collector]]s and processed into various raw materials by [[crusher]]s. Among other uses, it is possible to convert these materials into thruster fuel.

Asteroids larger than chunks may also appear. However, they can not be grabbed by asteroid collectors, and will damage the space platform upon impact. They can be targeted by turrets, and can be broken into multiple smaller asteroids by reducing their "health" to 0. This is done repeatedly until they become chunks.

During voyages, the number and relative velocity of asteroids increases proportionally to the platform's speed. It is therefore dangerous for a space platform to travel faster than it can destroy the asteroids that it will encounter. Different locations contain different amounts of each type of asteroid, and routes between locations may vary these numbers over the course of a journey. For example, only chunks will appear in stationary orbit around [[Nauvis]], thus providing a safe building environment free of larger asteroids that may damage the platform.

[[File:Space platform.jpg|thumb|Space platform example provided by Wube in "Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms"]]

'''Space platforms''' are factories that can be built in outer space. Each space platform is a self-contained factory supported by a [[space platform hub]].

== Purpose ==
Broadly speaking, there are three purposes which space platforms might serve:
* To perform recipes that can only be performed in space, such as when manufacturing [[space science pack]]s.
* To transport players and items between planets.
* To collect and process [[asteroids]].

== Creation and deletion ==
Space platforms are created by loading a [[space platform starter pack]] into a rocket and pressing the button to create a new space platform. Alternatively, players may order the creation of a space platform from the remote view through the list on the top-left corner of the screen, in which case the necessary space platform starter pack is treated as a request from a not-yet-existing space platform around the specified planet. Either way, players are then allowed to name their new space platform. Note that space platforms can later be renamed from the menus of their space platform hubs.

Platforms can be deleted. After confirming that the platform is to be deleted, the deleted platform goes into a queue, which is located at the bottom of the platform list. Should the player regret their decision, then this gives several minutes to decide if they want to undo the removal of the platform before it is permanently deleted.

If the platform hub is destroyed, the entire space platform and all of its contents are lost. When this happens, the [[player|character]] will respawn at the last planet they were at before going to space.

== Construction ==
Unlike planetary surfaces, space platforms can only be seen and edited by using the remote view. Therefore, players will order the construction of a space platform by placing ghosts. Instead of [[construction robot]]s being used for constructing the space platform, the platform itself will automatically construct ghost entities and move ghost items to and from the platform hub as soon as materials are available and these actions are not obstructed. If the necessary materials are not available, they will be automatically requested from the planet at which the space platform is stationed.

A newly-created space platform consists of a 10x10 square of [[space platform foundation]] with a [[space platform hub]] in its center, all surrounded by empty space. Unlike most buildings, the space platform hub can not be removed, and its destruction directly results in the loss of the entire space platform.

As nothing can be built on empty space, the platform must first be expanded with more space platform foundation. The platform's foundation must consist of a single connected area with no detached islands, and holes of empty space surrounded by foundation are not allowed; Should these rules be broken, then the violating tiles will not be built or removed before the issue is resolved.

[[Asteroid collector]]s and [[thruster]]s can only be built on the edge of the platform. In particular, thrusters can only be built on the southern edge, and no foundation can be built within the rectangular area extending from the southern edge of the thruster towards infinity.

The entire platform surface functions as an electrical connection, so space platforms do not need any power poles.

=== Building restrictions ===
Some buildings can not be built on space platforms:
* [[Chests]] can't be built in space. The main storage device is the platform hub.
* [[Robots]] and [[roboport]]s don't function in space, and no [[railway]] items can be built.
* [[Burner devices]] can't be built in space. According to [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-381 FFF-381], this is to add "a bit of realism as there's no atmosphere in space".
* Advanced buildings that require certain surface conditions can't be built on the platform, such as the [[biochamber]] and [[biolab]]s. This is the same as for any other surface.

Electric poles can be built, but the global electric network covering the entire platform powers all devices. As such, electric poles are only useful as a way to [[circuit network|wire together]] distant entities.

== Transport between planets and space platforms ==

To transport players and items between a planet's surface and a space platform, the space platform must be stationed in orbit around the planet.

Items are delivered up to a platform by launching a [[rocket]] from a [[rocket silo]]. This can be done in one of three ways:
* Filling the rocket manually or using by inserters, then manually sending the rocket towards the space platform by using the rocket silo's menu. This method allows sending rockets with several different types of items inside the same rocket, but can not be automated.
* Assigning logistic requests to the space platform hub, then filling a rocket with items of a type that is being requested, either manually or using by inserters. The rocket will then launch automatically. Only one type of item may be sent per rocket using this method.
* Assigning logistic requests to the space platform hub while having a rocket silo set to request items from the logistic network. This allows [[logistic robot]]s to fill the rocket automatically, and the rocket will launch automatically when full. Only one type of item will be sent per rocket.

The space platform hub will automatically request any items that are needed for construction of the platform. Automatic requests can receive items from any planet, whereas manual requests will only be fulfilled at one planet specified by the player. For manual requests, it is also possible to set a custom minimum payload per rocket instead of only accepting full rockets.

Items can be sent to a planet orbited by a space platform in one of two ways:
* Manually moving items into the platform hub's orbital drop slots.
* Assigning logistic requests to a planet's [[cargo landing pad]].

The items will then be carried to the planet's surface by [[cargo pod]]s. If the planet has a cargo landing pad, then the cargo pods will go there, placing their payloads directly inside the cargo landing pad's inventory (spilling the items if the cargo landing pad is already full). Otherwise, the cargo pod will land at a random location near the planet's spawn point. Landed cargo pods will wait for players to collect their payloads, and are automatically destroyed when emptied.

Unlike transfers from a planet's surface to a space platform, transfers from space platforms to planetary surfaces come at no material costs despite the appearance of a cargo pod.

== Passengers ==
Player characters can travel to space platforms by riding a rocket, and can likewise leave the platform in a cargo pod.

One character traveling to a space platform takes up an entire rocket, and is not allowed to carry any items in their inventory, except for their equipped weapons and armor (but not ammunition). All other items must be transferred to the space platform hub in separate rockets.

Characters aboard space platforms are locked inside the space platform hub, unable to move. The player is therefore locked into remote view until they drop their character to a planetary surface. Note that there is no way to access a player's inventory while in this state.

== Travel ==
Space platforms with one or more [[thruster]]s are able to perform voyages between different space locations, such as planets. The more thrusters that are installed on a platform, the faster the platform can get to its destination, but this also causes asteroids to appear faster and threaten the platform. When the thrusters are stopped while in mid-destination, the platform will slowly move toward the destination it's closer to via gravitational pull.

=== Weight ===
Platform weight depends on how many [[space platform foundation]] tiles the platform has. Each tile of [[space platform foundation]] weighs 200kg or 0.2 tons. The [[space platform hub]] itself weighs 20 tons. Notably, extra [[cargo bay]]s do not increase the platform's weight (aside from requiring [[space platform foundation]] under them).

== Asteroids ==
{{main|asteroids}}

Space platforms regularly encounter [[asteroids]].

The smallest asteroids are called "chunks". Chunks can be collected by [[asteroid collector]]s and processed into various raw materials by [[crusher]]s. Among other uses, it is possible to convert these materials into thruster fuel.

Asteroids larger than chunks may also appear. However, they can not be grabbed by asteroid collectors, and will damage the space platform upon impact. They can be targeted by turrets, and can be broken into multiple smaller asteroids by reducing their "health" to 0. This is done repeatedly until they become chunks.

During voyages, the number and relative velocity of asteroids increases proportionally to the platform's speed. It is therefore dangerous for a space platform to travel faster than it can destroy the asteroids that it will encounter. Different locations contain different amounts of each type of asteroid, and routes between locations may vary these numbers over the course of a journey.

=== Natural Resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Ammoniacal solution}}{{SA}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Lithium brine}}{{SA}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluorine}}{{SA}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}}

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[Lithium Ice Formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} can be obtained via {{NavboxIconLink|Ammoniacal solution separation}} and {{NavboxIconLink|Ice melting}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==
=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. Most entities will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] in an adjacent tile. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]. Buildings also cannot be placed on the surface of the iceberg itself; [[concrete]] (or its variants) must be placed underneath as an insulator. The harshly low temperature will also make [[construction robot]]s and [[logistic robot]]s much weaker, making them consume 5 times more power than normal.

Aquilo is also far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis, or 0.6 kW during the day.

== Biomes ==
Vulcanus has three distinct biomes.
* '''Ashlands''' are plateaus speckled with sparse vegetation and deposits of [[coal]]. They are home to leafless alien trees. They are relatively free of cliffs and lava, making them ideal for building.
* '''Lava basins''' are filled with winding lava rivers. Within them are deposits of [[tungsten ore]]{{SA}}, which can only be mined using the big mining drill.
* '''Mountains''' are large volcanoes, covered in cliffs and with a large lava pool at their center. They are home to [[sulfuric acid]] geysers and [[calcite]]{{SA}}. 

==Demolisher Territories==

Native to Vulcanus are the giant centipede-like enemies known as "demolishers".

Demolishers have well-defined territories. On the map, these territories are outlined by an opaque, bright red line and the inside is marked by diagonal, translucent, red lines. Only one demolisher will spawn per territory, and the territories themselves do not overlap. However, they are tightly packed, as they follow a Voronoi-like pattern. At the start of the game, only Vulcanus' starting area is not inside a demolisher's territory.

When left alone, a demolisher will patrol the border of its territory. However, if players build inside of a demolisher's territory, it will soon make a beeline towards these buildings with the intent of destroying them. Building inside of a demolisher's territory is therefore extremely risky and dangerous.

The death of a demolisher is permanent, as they only spawn during world generation. Likewise, upon the death of a demolisher, its territory permanently becomes free for the player to use, as other demolishers will not try to expand their territories.

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[alien ruins]], which have rudimentary lightning rods, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own lightning rods. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]]{{SA}}, Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s{{SA}}. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]].

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built without research. 

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each chunk once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will target entities based on priority first and then random for any entity not on the priority list (Higher priority gets hit first)
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Lightning priority
|-
! Entity !! Priority Value
|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Lightning collector}}{{SA}} || 10,000

The following items have a priority of 1
* {{NavboxIconLink|pipe}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|offshore pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|electric poles}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|power switch}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|logistic robot}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|construction robot}}
* Anything with the "Metal" impact soundset
 
The following entities cannot be struck by the lightning
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail support}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail ramp}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail chain signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Locomotive}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Artillery wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Cargo wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluid wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Wall}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|tree}}
* Any item that counts as rock for "filtered destruction" (I assume this means recycler)

When a [[lightning rod]] or a [[lightning collector]] is struck by lightning, it will generate a brief but powerful burst of electric energy, which can be utilized by connecting it to the [[electric system|electric network]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
*{{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Holmium ore}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Solid fuel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Steel plate}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Copper_cable|Copper Cable}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Iron gear wheel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|battery}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Advanced circuit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Processing unit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Low density structure}}

Since this list includes intermediate products, such as [[processing unit]]s, but no iron or copper plates, players are often forced to further recycle many of these items in order to obtain their ingredients. Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid clobbering their belts with unused resources. 

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} via {{NavboxIconLink|Ice melting}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} comes from recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Iron plate}} and {{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}} can be obtained by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Copper plate}} can be obtained by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} cannot be obtained and must be shipped in from other planets. However:
** {{NavboxIconLink|Plastic bar}}s can be obtained by by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Heavy oil}} is readily available using offshore pumps

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[alien ruins]], which have rudimentary lightning rods, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own lightning rods. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]]{{SA}}, Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s{{SA}}. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]].

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built without research. 

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each chunk once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will target entities based on priority first and then random for any entity not on the priority list (Higher priority gets hit first)
{| class="wikitable"

* {{NavboxIconLink|pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|offshore pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|electric poles}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|power switch}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|logistic robot}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|construction robot}}
* Anything with the "Metal" impact soundset
 
The following entities cannot be struck by the lightning
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail support}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail ramp}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail chain signal}}

* {{NavboxIconLink|Artillery wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Cargo wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluid wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Wall}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|tree}}
* Any item that counts as rock for "filtered destruction" (I assume this means recycler)

When a [[lightning rod]] or a [[lightning collector]] is struck by lightning, it will generate a brief but powerful burst of electric energy, which can be utilized by connecting it to the [[electric system|electric network]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
*{{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Holmium ore}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Solid fuel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Steel plate}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Copper_cable|Copper Cable}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Iron gear wheel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|battery}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Advanced circuit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Processing unit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Low density structure}}

Since this list includes intermediate products, such as [[processing unit]]s, but no iron or copper plates, players are often forced to further recycle many of these items in order to obtain their ingredients. Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid clobbering their belts with unused resources.

== Mechanics ==
=== {{NavboxIconLink|Spoilage}} ===
Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into [[spoilage]],{{SA}} with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.

When crafting with spoilable items, the final product will inherit the freshness value of the ingredients. The three exceptions are [[Iron Bacteria|iron]] and [[copper bacteria]] cultivation, [[pentapod eggs]] and [[fish]] breeding, whose recipes will always result in a 100% fresh product, regardless of the freshness of the ingredients.

When crafting with two different spoilable items of different freshness values, like in the [[agricultural science pack]]{{SA}} and [[bioflux]]{{SA}} recipes, the final product's freshness is determined by the average of the ingredients' freshness.

The agricultural science pack does spoil, which will gradually decrease its research value, so the player is incentivized to build a fast space platform to bring them back to Nauvis.

Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients do not matter in the product being produced.

== Biomes ==
Vulcanus has three distinct biomes.
* '''Ashlands''' are plateaus speckled with sparse vegetation and deposits of [[coal]]. They are home to leafless alien trees. They are relatively free of cliffs and lava, making them ideal for building.
* '''Lava basins''' are filled with winding lava rivers. Within them are deposits of [[tungsten ore]]{{SA}}, which can only be mined using the big mining drill.
* '''Mountains''' are large volcanoes, covered in cliffs and with a large lava pool at their center. They are home to [[sulfuric acid]] geysers and [[calcite]]{{SA}}. 

==Demolisher Territories==

Native to Vulcanus are the giant centipede-like enemies known as "demolishers".

Demolishers have well-defined territories. On the map, these territories are outlined by an opaque, bright red line and the inside is marked by diagonal, translucent, red lines. Only one demolisher will spawn per territory, and the territories themselves do not overlap. However, they are tightly packed, as they follow a Voronoi-like pattern. At the start of the game, only Vulcanus' starting area is not inside a demolisher's territory.

When left alone, a demolisher will patrol the border of its territory. However, if players build inside of a demolisher's territory, it will soon make a beeline towards these buildings with the intent of destroying them. Building inside of a demolisher's territory is therefore extremely risky and dangerous.

The death of a demolisher is permanent, as they only spawn during world generation. Likewise, upon the death of a demolisher, its territory permanently becomes free for the player to use, as other demolishers will not try to expand their territories.

== Biomes ==
Vulcanus has three distinct biomes.
* '''Ashlands''' are plateaus speckled with sparse vegetation and deposits of [[coal]]. They are home to leafless alien trees. They are relatively free of cliffs and lava, making them ideal for building.
* '''Lava basins''' are filled with winding lava rivers. Within them are deposits of [[tungsten ore]]{{SA}}, which can only be mined using the big mining drill.
* '''Mountains''' are large volcanoes, covered in cliffs and with a large lava pool at their center. They are home to [[sulfuric acid]] geysers and [[calcite]]{{SA}}. 

==Demolisher Territories==

Native to Vulcanus are the giant centipede-like enemies known as "demolishers".

Demolishers have well-defined territories. On the map, these territories are outlined by an opaque, bright red line and the inside is marked by diagonal, translucent, red lines. Only one demolisher will spawn per territory, and the territories themselves do not overlap. However, they are tightly packed, as they follow a Voronoi-like pattern. At the start of the game, only Vulcanus' starting area is not inside a demolisher's territory.

When left alone, a demolisher will patrol the border of its territory. However, if players build inside of a demolisher's territory, it will soon make a beeline towards these buildings with the intent of destroying them. Building inside of a demolisher's territory is therefore extremely risky and dangerous.

The death of a demolisher is permanent, as they only spawn during world generation. Likewise, upon the death of a demolisher, its territory permanently becomes free for the player to use, as other demolishers will not try to expand their territories.

== Access to basic resources ==

* Water can be obtained via [[Steam condensation]]
* Stone is a byproduct of processing lava into molten iron/copper
* Iron ore is not available, but iron plate and concrete may be obtained from molten iron

== Mechanics ==
=== {{NavboxIconLink|Spoilage}} ===
Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into [[spoilage]],{{SA}} with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.

When crafting with spoilable items, the final product will inherit the freshness value of the ingredients. The three exceptions are [[Iron Bacteria|iron]] and [[copper bacteria]] cultivation, [[pentapod eggs]] and [[fish]] breeding, whose recipes will always result in a 100% fresh product, regardless of the freshness of the ingredients.

When crafting with two different spoilable items of different freshness values, like in the [[agricultural science pack]]{{SA}} and [[bioflux]]{{SA}} recipes, the final product's freshness is determined by the average of the ingredients' freshness.

The agricultural science pack does spoil, which will gradually decrease its research value, so the player is incentivized to build a fast space platform to bring them back to Nauvis.

Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients do not matter in the product being produced.

Solid fuel

Systemparadox: Solid fuel also comes from scrap

{{languages}}{{:Infobox:Solid fuel}}
'''Solid fuel''' is a kind of [[fuel]] and is processed in a [[chemical plant]]. One unit of solid fuel contains 12MJ of energy, three times the energy value of coal.

Besides being useful as fuel in all [[burner devices]], solid fuel is also used to produce [[rocket fuel]], which is a component of [[rocket part]]s built in the [[rocket silo]].

== Recipes ==

Solid Fuel can be created from [[heavy oil]], [[light oil]] or [[petroleum gas]].
[[Light oil]] has the best oil to solid fuel ratio (10:1). Cracking heavy oil to light oil first changes the ratio for heavy oil to 13:1 (from 20:1).

Heavy oil

2024-11-11T01:38:12Z

Systemparadox: How to obtain on Vulcanus and Gleba

{{languages}}
{{:Infobox:Heavy oil}}

'''Heavy oil''' is a liquid produced by refining [[crude oil]] in an [[oil refinery]] or extracted in [[Fulgora]] using an [[offshore pump]]. It can be processed into [[light oil]], [[solid fuel]] and [[lubricant]]. It is more efficient to process heavy oil into light oil before creating solid fuel from it. It can also be used as ammo in [[flamethrower turret]]s.

Heavy oil can be obtained on [[Vulcanus]] using [[Simple coal liquefaction]]. This can be upgraded to [[Coal liquefaction]] once some initial heavy oil has been obtained.

Heavy oil cannot be obtained directly on [[Gleba]]. However, coal liquefaction can be used if a small amount of heavy oil is shipped in from elsewhere to kick start the process.

Flamethrower turret

2024-11-10T23:55:08Z

Systemparadox: Add section for usage on Gleba

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Flamethrower turret}}
'''Flamethrower turrets''' work similarly to the [[flamethrower]], setting [[enemies]] and the ground on fire and doing damage over time. Unlike gun and laser turrets, they have a limited firing arc, and should therefore be placed at choke points or behind walls. They can use crude, heavy, or light oil as ammunition, which must be provided via a pipe connected to the turret. Flamethrower turrets gain a damage bonus depending on the type of oil supplied to them. This bonus is multiplicative, it stacks with the bonus damage from research.

{| class="wikitable"
! Ammunition !! Effect
|-
|{{IconLink|Crude oil}} ||100% Damage
|-
|{{IconLink|Heavy oil}} ||105% Damage
|-
|{{IconLink|Light oil}} ||110% Damage
|}

Unlike the laser and gun turrets, flamethrower turrets do not have a instantaneously hitting projectile, instead firing a stream of flame directly at where the target was at the time of firing. This means that they have a tendency to miss the targeted biter in an attacking group, instead hitting the ones behind.

Flamethrower turrets are very powerful because biters and spitters do not have fire resistance and the total 3000 damage dealt to ignited enemies is a guaranteed death sentence for almost anything in the game. An enemy unit is ignited if it is hit directly by a flame stream. Flamethrower turrets will target the closest non ignited enemy and then once all enemies within range are ignited they will target the closest enemy.

The bonus technologies and fuel damage bonus for the flamethrower turret improve the contact damage and damage dealt by fire on the ground. The bonus technologies also affect the damage dealt to ignited enemies, which lasts 30 seconds and deals 100 damage per second without upgrades.

While it is not apparent from the damage bonus descriptions, the flamethrower turret benefits from the damage bonus for the flamethrower turret and the damage bonus for flamethrower ammo, applied multiplicatively, e.g. with the first level of refined flammables it receives a +44% bonus, not +20%, with all pre-space upgrades it receives +576% damage, not +160%. This is because the flamethrower turret is defined as using "flamethrower" type ammo and it allows the damage output of the flamethrower turret to keep up with laser and gun turrets, which also benefit from two or more separate upgrades.

Flamethrower turrets create fire on the ground which lasts 2 seconds by default. If the turret keeps firing at that spot, the size of the fire increases, it will last up to 30 seconds and its damage is increased up to 6 times, depending on how long the turret keeps firing at that spot. Multiple flamethrower turrets firing at the same location do not cause the fire to intensify faster as there is a 4 tick cooldown between intensity increases, while even a single flamethrower turret fires every 2 ticks.

=== Gleba ===

[[Gleba]] does not provide access to crude oil, light oil, or heavy oil. However, flamethrower turrets can still be used - either by importing barrels of oil directly, or by importing a small amount of heavy oil and using [[Coal liquefaction]].

Electric system

2024-06-22T23:27:19Z

Systemparadox: /* Storage */ Add heat pipes and density comparison table

{{Languages}}
The '''Electric system''' is used to power a lot of different machines; the game can hardly be played without using electricity. Every machine has its own internal electric capacity. When energy is produced, it is evenly distributed to all machines in the network that need electricity. Electricity is one of two ways machines can be powered, the other being [[burner devices]] running off of [[fuel]].

== Network mechanics ==
=== Generators ===

There are four ways to produce electricity. More details about each method are available on the [[Power production]] page.

# [[Steam engine]]s – Most common, requires [[Boiler|Boilers]] (which consume [[Water]] and fuel).
# [[Solar panel]]s – Free energy, but only works during daylight. Usually used with Accumulators.
# [[Accumulator]]s – Energy storage, see below
# [[Steam turbine]]s – High-power Steam engines. Used to generate power from a [[Nuclear reactor]].

If a network consumes less power than is produced, its Steam Engines and Turbines will slow down so that no power is wasted.

=== Storage ===
[[File:electrical-network-example-2.png|thumb|256px|Accumulator array consisting of 48 accumulators and a substation providing 240 MJ storage capacity.]]

Energy can be stored in:
* [[Fuel]]. It can be burnt to generate power.
* [[Accumulator]]s. Accumulators charge using excess power generated, and discharge when demand exceeds normal production.
* [[Steam]]. It can be created in [[boiler]]s or [[heat exchanger]]s and stored in the [[storage tank]], allowing steam engines or steam turbines to operate on-demand.
* [[Heat pipe]]s. Heat pipes can buffer up to 500MJ of energy across their working range of 500°C to 1000°C, although in practice this will be less depending on distance due to the way heat transfer works.

==== Steam tanks as power storage ====
A storage tank filled with [[heat exchanger]] 500°C steam stores around 2.4GJ; a storage tank filled with [[boiler]] 165°C Steam stores 750MJ.

There are several advantages to storing energy in storage tanks compared with storing it in an accumulator:
* The energy density of a storage tank tile is much higher than it is with accumulators.
** For 165°C steam (produced with [[boiler|boilers]]), a single storage tank stores as much as 150 accumulators: <code>750MJ / 5MJ = 150</code>
** For 500°C steam (produced using [[Heat exchanger|heat exchangers]]), a single storage tank stores as much as 480 accumulators: <code>2400MJ / 5MJ = 480</code>
* A [[nuclear reactor]] always fully burns a fuel cell, releasing 8GJ (or more with the multiple reactor bonus) even if power demand is lower. The excess energy can be stored as steam.
* A single [[accumulator]]'s maximum discharge rate is 300kW. On a very heavy load (e.g. laser turret firing), a small accumulator array may not discharge fast enough, causing power disruptions. A steam engine can produce 900kW of energy from the stored steam (3 times faster discharge rate), and a turbine can produce 5800kW (6.4 times faster discharge rate). In other words, a number of turbines or steam engines with steam storage can cope with much higher bursts than the same number of accumulators.
* Steam can be transferred via trains and then consumed remotely via turbines or steam engines. This essentially "transports electricity" using trains.

====Energy storage density comparison====

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Storage !! Capacity !! Accumulators !! Size !! Density (MJ/tile)
|-
| Accumulator || 5MJ || 1 || 2x2 || 1.25
|-
| Steam tank (165°C) || 750MJ || 150 || 3x3 || 83.33
|-
| Steam tank (500°C) || 2400MJ || 480 || 3x3 || 266.66
|-
| Heat pipe || 500MJ1 || 100 || 1x1 || 5001
|-
|}

(1) Theoretical maximum, actual capacity depends on distance due to heat transfer mechanics.

=== Distribution ===
[[File:Electric-network-1.png|thumb|256px|Simple example of a small electric network.]]
Power poles are used to transmit energy. There are 4 types of power pole, each having differently configured properties. The properties are coverage area (area in which machines are placed to be affected by the pole) and wire reach (the distance across which a pole can connect with another pole). If two poles of different wire reach are to be connected, the smallest of either applies.

# [[Small electric pole]] – Second smallest coverage area, shortest cable length, available without research.
# [[Medium electric pole]] – Second largest coverage area, average cable length.
# [[Big electric pole]] – Smallest coverage area, longest cable length.
# [[Substation]] – Largest coverage area, second longest cable length, but most expensive to build.

=== Consumption ===
[[File:machines_slow_electricity.gif|thumb|231px|right|Two [[assembling machine]]s running on very low electricity.]]The majority of machines in Factorio consume electricity. There are two aspects to a machine's energy use.

* Energy consumption – The energy consumed by the machine while it is actively carrying out a process (crafting an item, moving an item, etc). If an electric network does not have enough power generation to supply all the machines in it, the electricity will be evenly spread across all machines in the network (based on each machine's demand), and all machines will slow down proportionally to the power available.
** For example: If an [[Assembling machine 3]] (210kW) and an [[Electric mining drill]] (90kW) are on a network (90+210 = 300kW), but the network only has 3 [[Solar panel]]s (3×60kW = 180kW) to power them, the Assembling machine and Mining drill will both run at 60% speed (180/300=0.6).
* Drain – The energy consumed by the machine whether it is active or not. Most machines consume a small amount of power just being connected to a network. This is usually negligible, but can become notable in small factories where power is limited. Drain is cumulative with energy cosumption - for example, an active [[Assembling machine 2]] will consume 155 kW (150kW energy consumption + 5kW drain).

=== Connection ===
[[File:Disconnect power pole.gif|frame|right|An individual connection is removed by redrawing the connection with copper cable.]]
A network is created by placing electrical generators (such as [[Steam engine]]s or [[Solar panel]]s) and electrical consumers, then ensuring a connection between the generator and consumer can be made using Distributors (such as [[Small electric pole]]s) that are connected together. Electric poles cover differently sized areas depending on their type. The area of coverage appears as a blue overlay around the pole. If two poles are placed close enough, the poles connect automatically. A building is connected if one tile of the building is in a covered area. Hovering the cursor over a pole reports the current satisfaction of power demands in that pole's network, and clicking on a pole will provide a detailed GUI about that pole's electric network. (See below)

* Use shift-click on a existing pole to remove all its connections to other poles.
* Unconnected poles can be connected with a single [[copper cable]] dragging from pole to pole (Left click on the ''bottom'' of the pole with the cable in hand.)
* Individual connections can be removed by "connecting" them with copper cable. This will not consume the cable.
* You can use place-key (default left mouse) while running/driving to auto-place poles at their greatest connectible distance while covering all unpowered entities on the way. This allows for complete efficiency when connecting long distances. If connecting over long distances, using [[Big electric pole]]s is recommended.

A newly-placed electric pole will be automatically connected to nearby poles according to the following rules:
# It will be connected to other available poles, starting with the closest one.
# It won't be connected to 2 poles connected to each other (it won't form a 3 pole triangle).
# It will not be connected to more than 5 other poles.

== Electric network info screen ==
[[File:Electric network info screen.png|thumb|400px|The Electric network info GUI]]
[[File:electric_satisfaction_stress.gif|thumb|390px|Slight stress on the electric system's satisfaction.]]

The Electric network info GUI can be accessed by left-clicking any electric pole nearby.

'''You can see only the info from the electric network to which that pole is connected!''' Unlike the production-info (press P) the electric network info is not measured globally, but by network.

# '''Satisfaction''' – The current amount of energy consumed by the network. This bar should be full. If it is not full, it means that the machines connected to the network are consuming more power than is produced, and the bar will change color to yellow (>50%) or red (<50%).
# '''Production''' – The current energy produced by the network. This bar should never be full. If it is full, it means that the machines connected to the network are consuming all available energy. The less full this bar is, the more surplus energy is available.
# '''[[Accumulator|Accumulator]] capacity''' – How much energy is currently held inside of the accumulators connected to your network. Measured in [[Units|joule]]s; 1 Joule = 1 Watt * 1 second (see also [[wikipedia:Joule]]). This bar should be able to fill fully before emptying again.
# '''Timespan''' - Set the [[Time|time]] span for the graphs below. "5s" means over the last 5 seconds.
# '''Consumption Graph''' – Shows the consumption of the different parts of the network over time.
# '''Production Graph''' – Shows the production of the different producers of the network over time.
# '''Detailed Consumption''' – A list of consumers from highest power consumption to lowest. In the picture example, 47 [[radar]]s consume the most power, at 14.1 MW.
# '''Detailed Production''' – A list of producers from highest power production to lowest. In the picture example, 1,300 [[accumulator]]s produce the most electricity in the factory.

Note that the timeframe influences the shown detailed production/consumption: the displayed watts is the total average power production or consumption over the full time. Setting longer timeframes also allows seeing the past production or consumption of machines even if they are not currently connected to the network.

== Network priorities ==

Electricity is provided on a priority basis. The demand for energy is satisfied by generators in following order:

* [[Solar panel]]s – Top priority; they always work at maximum performance available, unless they can cover all demand of the network, in which case they match demand.
* [[Steam engine]]s and [[Steam turbine]]s – They match whatever demand solar panels cannot satisfy; note that Engines and Turbines do have the same priority, leftover demand is equally divided among both.
* [[Accumulator]] – Last resort. They are only discharged when demand cannot be met by other means. They are also only charged when all demand is met, and there is yet more power available.

There may be situations where different behaviour is desired (such as solar panels combined with accumulators for night-and-day delivery), in which case clever use of a [[power switch]] and the [[circuit network]] is in order.

Kovarex enrichment process

2024-05-28T11:04:52Z

Systemparadox: Cleanup confusing necessary/sufficient text

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Kovarex enrichment process}}

The '''Kovarex enrichment process''' is a method for reprocessing uranium in a [[centrifuge]]. Although the process requires a large amount of the much rarer [[uranium-235]] to start, it can be a good way to get more use out of the available [[uranium ore]].

== Purpose ==
[[Uranium processing]] takes 10 uranium ore and returns 1 uranium-235 with 0.007 (0.7%) probability, or 1 [[uranium-238]] with 0.993 (99.3%) probability, leading to an [[:Wikipedia:Binomial_distribution|expected]] (though not guaranteed) 1 unit of uranium-235 per approximately 143 processing cycles (or about a 1:142 ratio of U-235 to U-238). This is currently the only probability-based crafting recipe in the game.

Uranium-235 is necessary to create [[uranium fuel cell]]s and [[atomic bomb]]s, in considerable quantities for the latter, but the probability distribution of uranium processing leads to it being produced slowly and creating large stockpiles of U-238 as a byproduct. The Kovarex process thus provides the player with a considerably faster (and deterministic) method of producing U-235, as well as a use for the surplus U-238.

It should be noted that U-238 is not useless; it is needed to manufacture [[uranium rounds magazine]]s, [[uranium cannon shell]]s, and [[explosive uranium cannon shell]]s, and is required as a secondary ingredient in uranium fuel cells. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the Kovarex process to convert ''all'' stockpiled U-238 into U-235. (Although, in case of shortage, [[Used up uranium fuel cell]]s can be [[Nuclear fuel reprocessing|reprocessed]] into a modest amount of U-238.)

== Trivia ==
* The Kovarex enrichment process is named after [https://www.factorio.com/game/about Michal Kovařík], lead designer of Factorio and co-owner of Wube, whose online nick is ''kovarex'' (which he usually spells lowercase). [https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/67bj3p/015_kovarex_uranium_enrichment_is_too_good_with/dgq2ij3/?context=1]

* In the real world, [[:Wikipedia:Uranium-235|uranium-235]] is the most common fissile isotope of uranium and makes up approximately 0.72% of naturally-occurring uranium, with the other 99.28% being [[:Wikipedia:Uranium-238|uranium-238]]. The in-game representation is thus highly accurate in this regard. Uranium is commonly [[:Wikipedia:Enriched_uranium|enriched]] in centrifuges to increase the percentage of 235U for use in fission reactions.
* Uranium munitions are made from [[:Wikipedia:depleted uranium|depleted uranium]], a byproduct of uranium enrichment, which is mostly 238U whose natural admixture of the 235U isotope has been lowered even further through the enrichment process. Depleted uranium is minimally radioactive and the reason for its use in munitions is its very high density and other mechanical properties, not radioactivity/toxicity.
