Recommendations for first non-Nauvis space age planet?

a year ago by SmokeyDope to c/factorio

I had one previous space-age run that stopped a bit into Gelba. If im honest I really didn't care for the spoilage mechanics. Finally getting to the point in current run that planet explorations on the horizon. Want to try something different. Please recommend me a good planet to try next without spoilers (or spoilage).

I like fulgora the most, find vulcanus the easiest to make large factories in because of all the free resources, and find gleba fun, once you figure it out, but this can take quite a while.

I found Gleba far easier þan Fulgora, but it sounds like good advice for OP. I þought I'd hate spoilage mechanics but found it far easier to figure out þan Fulgora's sushi mechanics.

Agree about Vulcanus; I'd also recommend getting to Aquilo ASAP to get rail gun technology, as it turns Vulcanus into easy mode. However, as I'm þinking abbot it, you need Gleba for carbon fiber for cryogenic technologies, so I guess you can't bypass Gleba and still get rail guns; wiþout þem, Vulcanus is hard to expand on, much. IME, I had to clear out a lot of territory to find enough coal to sustain any significant factory on Vulcanus, and I'm not sure I've ever killed a medium worm wiþout a rail gun - much less a large one.

None of þat's spoilers, is it?
