After a week off, I'm keen to get back into the space science! We've got holmium, iridium and beryllium flowing now, so we should be able to start building most of the new types, however there are still some infrastructure decisions to be made. Let's take a look.

We've made an area safe; today we're going to discuss (or argue!) where all the buildings should go and I'm going to go looking for a diamond so I can carry on with my dark magic aspirations! Let's go digging!
If you can, please watch this stream on Twitch - https://twitch.tv/laurencestreams - as I'm trying to boost my numbers over there at the moment. Thanks!

We've had some problems recently... There's junk on the bus, we're running out of resources, the factory is struggling! Let's take a look at what's going wrong, and what changes have been made down on the planets.

Another manhunt, another twist! This time we're playing with heavy industrial vehicles - trucks, cement mixers and so on. It makes the chase a bit slower, but it promises to be entertaining.

Time for some more coverage of the fuel system on Aesselia and a bit of messing around with using the Spidertron to build a power management system. I've also done some heavy Maths on the power consumption of my fuel refinery - can I make it a bit more efficient?

This week was all about the greens - I built up a large factory to produce the little green motors and used them to build up a steady supply of green science. I'm also still working on more solar, which is a different type of green!

Now that I've got my first spaceship running nicely, I'm looking at some of the little broken things scattered around. Top of the list is getting energy science running properly, which is going to require a bit of expansion of the existing systems...

I reckon I need a lot of very advanced modules for making the naquium processing a bit more ... productive. That's going to take a lot of resources - so let's get it started.
1 tier 9 module needs 3 tier 8s. Which need 9 tier 7s. 27 tier 6s. 81 tier 5s. etc etc, all the way down to about SIX AND A HALF THOUSAND tier 1 modules. And yes, that means almost 33k green circuits.
Blimey.

The first two LTN videos raised quite a lot of questions in the comments, so I thought I'd take a look at some of them and give you some answers, with examples.
If you have any questions, stick them in the comments, or come along to my stream every Wednesday evening and ask me to explain live!
