Heresy.
I think it's just a skill issue, unfortunately 😕
Is the most… unique planet?
Blasphemy
Me on my way to restart Gleba for the 3↑↑↑3th time
Skill issue on your end
I bet Trupen does not like this video xD
LoL! I noticed his video while having a break between some final cuts and spit out half of my energy drink when he was mentioning 50% more research.
@@AVADIIStrategy yep my bad, I should have said 50% more "science packs" and not "research". In my Nauvis video I explained it correctly :/
@@TrupenMore important question is do you like this video? ANSWER ME!!!!
@@BravoFraud To be fair, the video says "Gelba is the best planet, to leave and never visit again, after gaining biolab."
@@Trupen That would still be wrong my friend.
If McDonalds suddenly sells BigMacs at half the price (50% money drain ;)) ) you now get 2 BigMacs for the price of previously 1 BigMac.
Thats double the amount of BigMacs or 100% more. ;)
I 100% respect your opinion about Gleba breaking traditional Factorio norms. It's nice to see a DLC that reinvents the base game.
i truly felt like i had to learn factorio again, i just stood in gleba for hours with a nuclear reactor not knowing where to start, i figured it out now but it really took me a while with the spoilage and nutrients
Gleba was my first planet, at the beginning I stood for a couple of hours not understanding what to do, I felt that very first game of factorio
And I naively believed that each planet would amaze with the same depth of gameplay as Gleb - it’s a pity that this was not the case
Nefrums speed run of 2.0 went to gleba first in order to get bio labs
I'm not surprised it's by far the strongest update.
that guy is crazy tho 😂
2.0 is non space age
@ll18
@ll18
It took me a long no-hint, no-spoilers time to sort out Gleba, with s slight rage quit mixed in, but now it’s one of my five most favorite planets in Space Age. 😂
Definitely in the top 5 planets
Same, went in blind. Tried not to waste at first. Big mistake. Now I have a river of crap flowing uninterrupted into ovens and it works great
It's all fun and giggles until your base get STOMPED to death since you don't yet have enough weapon repeatables and any hint of a tesla turret (one you teased in the beginning of the video). Also if you're going for a "rush to space" achievement then Gleba without purple/yellow packs is like x100 in difficulty than other planets. I'm sure you got paid by pentapods to provide some foolish engineer food supply.
Yea I rushed to space to get Fulgora. Free electricity raining from the sky, mining rocket parts straight out of the ground.
I'd like to take advantage of Gleba, but I just can't get my brain around it.
fr tho
@@ObsidianG I can't bring myself to go to Fulgora first. I love it, but Vulcanus speaks to me, lol
Just make a grid larger then ur polution and some turrets against the spoiled eggs u will never hear an alert from gleba
Too bad you cant have flamethrowers on gleba.
Dude, those vids are amazing, no blabla, straight to the point and only a few minutes long. Perfect.
propaganda…
I support the gleba propaganda. All glory to gleba (unironically) its the coolest, most unique challenge and great rewards
Gleba has the best technologies, the only problem is that you have to deal with gleba the rest of the game once you build anything there.
I tend to hold it off for as long as i can because the power of vulcanus and mech armor make gleba far less painful.
you also forget the great QOL of toolbelt equipment, and making the foundry actually useful on non-Vulcanus planets because you can make calcite in space so you don't have to ship from Vulcanus
The thing about Gleba is that while the biolab is insanely powerful it's arguably the only thing worth taking off Gleba to other worlds apart from stack inserters. Meanwhile the foundry and big mining drills increase the processing speed of raw resources, and make Fulgora easier which makes circuits the bane of every player easier. Fulgoria Tesla turrets also make Gleba much*3 easier to defend.
To me regardless of how insane doubling science output and exponentially increasing belt throughput is Gleba still sits in third place in terms of utility just because of how hard it is to set up second only to aquilo.
Again with how each planet aids the progression on others Gleba still sits in third place for that reason alone.
Nauvis Vulcanius Fulgora Gleba Aquilo.
Well said. I think the extra science is nice but honestly in both playthroughs I’ve done of space age I’ve not had very much trouble getting enough planetary sciences to get by. There’s a reason many players only built tiny bases for Gleba and Aquilo; if science is the only thing you’re getting from them they aren’t really worth scaling up to be all that large because planetary sciences are so simple to set up. Vulcanus has enormous value as a forge world and as you say Fulgora is great for circuits, but nobody will be taking advantage of biolab’s extra productivity for rocket fuel. It’s simply not worth the effort.
@@Katiedid2040 Volcano and Fulgora also both make easier each other. A tec-armor is super QL-item for Volcano; more than for any other planet. An EM-assembler also useful, for permanent max profit crafting T3 speed modules.
So, it make sense to fly first not only to Volcano; Fulgora as the first planet is also a good option.
I'm thinking of going to Fulgora first for the robo speed upgrade 5, is it worth it?
but gleba is a ton easier if you just belt all excess to heating towers...
I'd argue that heating towers are another unlock that makes Gleba a desirable planet to visit. I mean, they're nuclear reactors that eat nearly everything-making your power demands on any planet less of a problem. Don't have enough accumulators on Fulgora to power your whole base? Turn that infinite sea of heavy oil into fuel for heating towers! Not enough nearby Uranium patches on Nauvis and don't have a solar array large enough? Switch your steam engine setup for heating towers and get megawatt levels of energy.
You don't even need to research agricultural science to unlock it and it doesn't require Gleba-specific ingredients. Build them everywhere!
Nice video! I also think gleba technology is almost overpowered compared to the 2 others starting planets.
Stacked inserter is extremely strong indeed. It was game changing to carry so much items on a regular belt. I initially researched it for my gleba base, but I use them a lot in my nauvis base also.
I m not sure I would recommend gleba as a first planet because it is extremely dangerous and I was happy to use a lot of Tesla turrets to defend myself 😂
For my first Spage Age playthrough (which is still not finished yet), I did the "classic easy" order Vulcanus - Fulgora - Gleba, but that was mainly because I did the Space Rush achievement (no purple/yellow tech) and I wasn't confident about tackling Gleba first for a discovery run (I hesitated to do it in 2nd though).
Now that I know how each planet work, I would definitely go Gleba first for a second playthrough. Once you know how to setup your base, it's nearly not as bad as people make it to be, and pentapods can be dealt with pretty easily even with regular gun turrets (a few squares of turrets with red ammo around your agri-towers is more than sufficient), at least until Big stompers, and you won't see them before a long time. You have all the time in the world to do a quick bio-science setup, bring it back to Nauvis, get your bio-labs and other good stuff, and then go to Vulcanus/Fulgora, unlock either Artillery/Tesla turret, and go back to Gleba to setup a proper defense before Big stompers are even close to be a thing.
The ONLY thing I don't like about going to Gleba first, are cliffs. Cliffs on Nauvis are not an issue at all since 2.0, I don't think I even used a single cliff explosive on Nauvis during my run. But on Gleba ? Oh boy, I used STACKS of them. If the terrain isn't filled with water, it's filled with cliffs, they are so annoying. I might consider going to Vulcanus first for that reason alone...
Fulgora is definitely the last one. Honestly, besides the EM Plant, there is no tech I can unlock there that I really care about. I was actually really disappointed there wasn't even a single tech to help with your space platforms. And the Mech armor, while nice, is just a comfort upgrade, I can totally live without it. Pretty underwhelming rewards overall.
In other words:
Gleba is still terrifying when it comes to managing production there
And the "best" in the title applies mostly to the technologies unlocked there
i went to gleba first and had so much trouble securing my base from pentapods i was handcultivating at a location far from my base for safety. I even ended up turning off my power when i left the planet since i knew i couldnt defend it.
I snorted a lot of bioflux and went on a rampage with nothing but a machine gun and a lot of red ammo
Had the exact opposite experience lol. Landed on gleba with rare mech armor after leaving it for last and proceeded to clear every nest for a large area. That being said my defenses just ended up being lasers and rocket turrets so once you get the rocket turret you don’t necessarily need anything from fulgora or vulcanus in the end
Mass produce laser turrets and surround your base with them. They have longer range than gun turrets and thus can deal with any threat you face on Gleba.
@@API-Beastno way, the medium pentapod might be manageable with huge laser barrage.
But the huge pentapod?
Laser won't do much. They have very high resistance with laser
@ stompers dgaf about laser turrets
Finally someone appreciates Gleba. Definitely liked it alot
wube said they had to "make gleba worth it", that's why so many cool tech is unlocked there. I honestly think that maybe I should have gone to Gleba first, then Fulgora and then Vulkanus. becase now I have to dismantle my Vulkanus "megabase" since it's really terrible after visiting other planets
While I'm excited to visit Gleba, Vulcanus is pretty much my de facto first planet after Nauvis. The lava mechanic solves a solid 60% of your production problems, and being able to convert sulfuric acid to limitless steam power solves another 20%. Fulgora is a close second, because lightning solves your power problems, and the scrap gives you everything you could ever need. The main reason I pick it second is because holmium processing is your biggest bottleneck, and the 50% productivity bonus from foundries is immensely beneficial in solving that problem.
Meanwhile, Gleba practically demands you arrive with tesla turrets for defense, since all of your prior defensive technologies (walls, turrets) are effectively useless against the big stompers, and the lack of oil means no flamethrower turrets either. Their 80% resistance to laser damage is just the icing on top.
Another consideration is that Vulcanus and Fulgora will never destroy an unattended base (unless you built too close to a demolisher's territory).
I did your order before, and it might be a good idea for a first run, since you need a lot of experimentation and thus wasted pollution and evolution to get started on Gleba when you don't know what you are doing.
If you have a plan and maybe some blueprints, though, you really dont *need* more then a line of yellow turrets and some bots to repair as defenses until after you are many thousands of science in, at which point you can spam rocket turrets to focus down the larger enemies, and spidertrons to clear camps. I think Gleba first is the right choice for subsequent runs. And its worth trying out just to vary things up :)
I’d argue that flamers work especially well on Gleba. You can’t use them when you land, of course. But once you’ve unlocked coal synthesis, you can perform coal liquefaction, and use the oil produced there for flame thrower turrets. I use no Tesla turrets currently (haven’t been to Fulgora yet) but with walls of flamers and rocket turrets (and a sprinkling of artillery), my Gleba base hasn’t been disturbed at all.
You can tell Wube really wanted to sweeten the deal for going to Gleba. I can’t think of any other reason they’d put epic quality and advanced asteroid processing in the list of research Gleba unlocks
It needed sweetening because it doesn't really have a useful *machine* export. Foundry, EMP, Big Miners, and Recyclers are useful on other planets in a way that Biochambers and Farms are not.
geez I love your content. I think you are the first person on youtube with who's content I'm engaged so much. keep it going!
Only true Factorians can appreciate Glebastic madness of bioculrures. I'm glad to see you amongst us, friend Avadii
Gleba made me into a farmer, biochemist, and warlord all at the same time.
Hey AVADII! I just want to thank you. I chose Gleba second after Vulcanus-a choice I wouldn't have made if it wasn't for your videos on the planet. I'd just like to add that among the many technologies you get from Gleba, the most useful unlock I've realized has been heating towers. Getting nuclear energy levels of power from non-Uranium fuel sources is a great help for power generation. Power generation is always a problem when making planetfall anywhere so I'd think heating towers should be pretty high on the list of useful machines. I know I'll be using them when I finally make the trip to Fulgora. The infinite heavy oil sea there looks ripe for energy-especially if space is at a premium.
Heating towers are also more efficient compared to the standard boiler+steam engine array. So for those looking to pollute less on Nauvis, I recommend switching over to heating towers for a really bonkers megawatt setup to complement your nuclear reactors. The only downside I have for them is that they don't work in space like nuclear reactors do. But if you want power and lots of it on any planet, unlock heating towers on Gleba and build them on any planet.
I did the math to choose my first planet, ranking tech between 0 and 1(sometimes 1.5 when really usefull) depending on what I was needing at that moment. Vulcanus was at 0.5, fulgora at 2, gleba at 7.5. The only thing that prevented me to go to gleba first was the fear of complexity. Gleba is crazy good
I can't wait for that rush video! I've gone to both Fulgora and vulcanus, but Gleba just feels so daunting 😔
I knew biolabs were ridiculously strong. But! They are so strong in concept I thought they were only available after Aquilo, so I missed out on all these bonuses for the majority of the game.
Ah, there will be a follow up on how to Gleba Fast. Good. My only concern with Gleba is how fast I can get through it so I can return occasionally just to BURN IT.
Am I role playing my Gleba hatred too hard? Maybe.
Am I going to ever stop?
*G L E B A M U S T B U R N* (but only after I have ripped what I need from its stinking soils)
you are really convincing.
i went to Gleba second in my factorio run.
It was 15 hours of nightmares. i should have brought a nuclear power plant with me, but no. i only had basic supplies. and this made the game very very hard.
I think on your first run Gleba first would be extremely ambitious. If you know what to expect and prepare accordingly then... then you are prepared. Congrats, prep time makes easy time.
Gleba is actually my favorite planet just bc of how unique the manufacturing process is there.
Great Video, Gleba was by far my favorite Planet to solve :)
They called me a madman...
I had a great time on Gleba. It's challenging at first, when you don't have a ready power supply, and can't automate the fruit or nut production, and designing a base that can be self-sustaining, without getting tripped up by something spoiling when it shouldn't is hard, but once you accomplish that, resources can be infinitely-generated, and you don't need to go looking for fresh ones unless you want to increase your rate of production. In short, it's a hard planet, but very rewarding once you get it right.
My dude, you are 100% objectively correct, but there's no way I'm setting foot on that swampy dump without jetpack & Tesla turret tyvm.
1st thing u should do in space age in getting mining productivity trough the roof, get drills from vulcanus. Wich u will ensure will never run out of any ore on any planet
I gave up on Gleba, I just couldnt get the Nutrient chain going. I think I will watch your gleba tutorial now... xD
The hard part of Gleba is that for many systems, nothing works until everything works. Its all pretty doable if you can visualize all the ingredient flows in your mind without them being present, but thats a skill that takes a lot of experience to acquire.
@@user-wo5dm8ci1g That is not the problem. I have a very bad starting point, there is no close space for the two types of Fruit to be close to each other, so increased challenge is either explore until I find a better starting point or just live with increased spoilage due to the pure distance the stuff needs to travel.
I switched to Satisfactory 1.0 for a while now, but I think I will retry Gleba and see if I can continue. Still not a fan of the spoilage mechanic. Its a cool idea, but if you ever worked in logistic, you will hate spoilage even more! :D
I started extracting Yumako first to set up the nutrients as a stepping stone before getting jelly nuts for bioflux, but the trick for me it’s to always put a biolab to turn spoilage into nutrients first in the most crucial production section, fruit mashing, nutrient production with bio-flux, just so they can act as an automatic kickstarted in case anything gets clogged, it should be nearly fool proof, but always ALWAYS make sure you expand your fruit cultivation as your factory expands, otherwise your factory will quite literally starve, and also, be careful with seeds, at one point you’ll produce more seeds than’ll realistically need, so it’s no problem if you burn the excess, you always get more. Trust me, the seeds almost clogged up my base once
Came into this video on the total opposite side, now I can kinda see it your way
One thing you don't cover in your reasoning for Gleba is what you "give up" when you pick it as first planet: the ability to make your life on Gleba any easier
I feel like I would struggle too much on Gleba without unlocks from the other planets (mostly tesla turrets and foundries I guess)
I've been dreading to go to gleba since in my current playthrough, (my first space age playthrough) I've cranked the enemies up to normal death world settings, while also making resources larger and a lot less common, which is a railworld trait. Also I made water like 500% more common so my starting area is a huge landmass but beyond that it's mostly water, and it is a huge pain in the neck to explore the normal way. I had to install a mod to make my radars see further..
Also I've multiplied all of my research cost by 5. So the lab is very tempting, but the enemies were something I didn't want to deal with. Thankfully I have now done setting up a really sturdy fulgora base after I did pay fulgora a quick visit just to get those electromagnetic plants. Then I paid another quick visit to vulcanus just to get some artilleries transported to nauvis as well as those big drills and foundries. which I used to build a big fulgora base. I should rebuild parts of my nauvis base now that I have EM plants and foundries, set up more transport space platforms to haul science and calcite and actually get some research done.. but I want those biolabs for more efficient research, I only have 48 normal labs and it's painfully slow and I can't expend the lab train much more or it will outgrow my science supply of my current base.
Ahh I guess the space age DLC is well balanced between all those 3 new starter planets as they all have something that you'd want on other planets, especially on nauvis.
I did this in my playthrough, but for the spidertron, and realized there was lab upgrade tech in the tree , literally skyrocketed my progress in a couple of days
Stacker inserters are It for me, gamechanger.
Challenges aside, my main complaint with Gleba is how making a megabase out of it isn't usually practical.
Also notice, the time left on the labs: the minimum the normal lab ever got to was around 25 minutes, but the bio-lab's minimum time was 5 minutes. Not only is it more efficient, but it is way faster
Love your videos. I'm excited for Aquilo because that planet is breaking me harder than gleba
bro really said "the spidertron is unlocked here, do i really have to explain how strong this is?" XD. great vid, i hate the planet but its the most valuabl
You still miss one: new oxi and thruster fuel recipes are crazy. You only need like one chemplant to fuel 4-5 thrusters continuously
NOOOOOOOOO, most horrifying planet. I refuse to land the spoiled planet.
Gleba is literally my supply hub. You need to put in the work, but then it can just print everything.
I honestly want to visit Gleba first just because it seems like a fun logistical challenge. Though I am playing peaceful
i went to gleba first because i mistakenly thought that cliff explosives required gleba science packs. can confirm its the best planet. 10/10 would rot into spoilage again
The only reason I went to Vulcan was for explosives. Yes, labs, spidertron and all that stuff are great, but there's nothing better than free building.
Yeaaaaahhhh I'd never doubt Gleba!!
If only my bases would survive long enough to produce enough science packs. Damn pentapods and damn spoilage.
Most of the argument boils down to the finished product, but drills foundries and cliff explosives to help you build more is better
Gleba is also very fun and I'm saying this unironically. Your existing blueprints aren't very useful here, so you need to reinvent your base and pentapods are significantly more interesting enemies than biters. That said, Gleba is *the* planet to bring artillery and/or tesla weapons with you, so I'm not sure about going there first.
Video title should be "Things you get from Gleba are good"
It's my first planet and hard, but I want these technologies! Biolabs will be cool!
I love this video. I went to gleba first myself!
hold up the efficiency module can be very useful. Especially in planets where u want to speed up production but also want that max 80% reduction. But overall my problem with gleba is getting started takes a lot of time especially needing to burn a crap ton of materials to get a heating tower started. The pentapods don't really cause too much trouble with the proper defenses. Maybe im stupid on speeding up how fast I can get the heating tower started so it can start powering my base.
Gleba is definitely in the top 5 best planets
Jesus I never did consider all this. I'll be going to Gleba first on my next runs. This is fantastic
Gleba is gonna be so hard to defend without tesla turrets (you unlock them on fulgora), trust me.
unless you got like peaceful or no enemies enabled
Alright. I am sold. Sounds like all pros and no cons. I will go to Gleba.
pros have a few hours
if you have 5k hours then sure
i hated it at first, i didnt know how to build up a base with everything getting spoiled, after three failed attemps i finally hit the nail with a belt based, and im very happy of my base there fully belt based, the factory must stink tho, endless river belts of spoilage flowing in the sewage belt bus
It's kinda better to go fulgora or vulcanus first because there are no threats to manage when fully automated, also the mech armor is just incredible, you have pretty much infinite research packs on all planets anyway so the biolabs are moot until later, my labs are offline the majority of my playtime so i fail to see why it's a first planet priority when fulgora nets you the suit that makes gleba impossible to die on, and movement much faster. I',ve done a couple playthroughs and doing gleba before fulgora has been slowing my progress down to a crawl. Could be chalked up to unlucky map generation but having up to 3 times more movement speed and better laser bots have proven to be key at quickly setting up a base. You don't get that from biolabs
I dont know but i really dont see any use for spidertron except mass concreting
I'm doing the mech armor research right now after going to Fulgora first, and it's a bit rough indeed. 😅 Plus I can't properly grind quality at Fulgora, because Rare is still the highest I can get. So it seems that going to Gleba first would have been the better decision indeed. The case can also be made that Fulgora is a good idea before Vulcanus, for the mech suit. So it seems that Gleba, Fulgora, Vulcanus is a good order.
The issue with that idea is that Vulcanus can become a massive resource export planet rather quickly, even without tech from the other two planets. Setting up a proper high-output base there to use as a source for materials for the other two makes it rather exceptional (and rather beginner friendly). It also happens to trivialize the other two planets and their issues almost completely.
Honestly, it feels like they stuck all the cool and super useful research on gleba just to make up for the “weaker” gameplay
I like how the dlc for me at least feels like a huge jumping off point for mods, maybe a start on a different planet and work your way to nauvis mod would be copl
Any planet start by Codegreen, it existed even before official release
Gleba has the best unlocks from its science pack, but it has by far the worst unlocks from its trigger techs. I suppose in a way, it could be a good idea to go to Vulcanus first, but not research anything and instead just bring back the foundry and calcite. The foundry then helps on Fulgora for making holmium plates to make the EM Plant. Then, again without actually researching anything, bring the EM plant, foundry, and some calcite to Gleba.
That said, optimal or not, unless I'm specifically challenging myself, there is no way I'll go to Gleba first. Too many things that can go catastrophically wrong. On my main playthrough, I didn't just go to Gleba last, but I didn't get the biolab until after Aquilo entirely because I didn't want to even think about biter eggs, which have since claimed the title of my single least favourite item in the game. Biter eggs are also the main reason why I still haven't automated promethium science, why I've barely expanded my Gleba farms, and why I'm using legendary prod 2s in most places rather than prod 3s.
Being able to make more science when you only have like
Gleba offers the best gameplay of all the other planets, Vulcanus after Gleba turned out to be a big disappointment for me, for example
@@Levin_sun That's a hot take, when most people I've seen discuss it, vehemently hate the place. I'm not saying you are wrong to have that opinion, I'm just making you aware that other people don't necessarily feel the same way.
Gleba does have really good Research unlocks, though the agri tower and biochamber just aren't as useful outside of their home planet like foundries, large drills, recyclers and EM plants are which feels a bit disappointing. The way the other machines are vital to building a factory on their respective planets but also integrate into and improve your factories elsewhere just isn't there with Gleba. Relying on a source of nutrients from Gleba to even run biochambers for oil cracking or rocket fuel certainly doesn't help either. Still a very cool and unique planet to be on, especially if you try and make your factory from locally sourced materials instead of just importing everything.
I only make science pack on site
I get that 7000 packs, then never visit gleba ever
For casual players I think Gleba is still a bad idea. The 1 time research unlocks take so little time compared to everything else you’re doing that even a 3x increase doesn’t even register as making a difference. And Gleba is the hardest of the 3 that using the other 2 to make it easier make so much more sense than the other way around.
Definitely see how it makes sense for a speed runner or someone who is really good at the game. Or someone who doesn’t mind using a guild/blue prints to solve the difficulty problem.
Fun fact: Gleba means soil/dirt in polish
Funny How i Predigted a Video like this in my Head
If you are doing a causal/first playthrough I think Vulcanus => Gleba => Fulgora is a good order, since Vulcanus is basically vanilla+ its a good starting point, but Fulgora after Gleba as without belt stacking you are severely throughput limited (depending on design). Also: people hate on Gleba because of the spoilage mechanics but honestly its not that bad? You do have to think more than on other planets but once you decide on how you are going to dispose of the spoilage (i.e. bots/filter inserters/belt loops with spoilage channels (
Are you still planning to do a Gleba rush video? Thanks
Yes!
I haven't quite gotten to Gleba yet, I just finished setting up fulgoran science packs so that's where I am headed next, after I fix the billions of issues on Nauvis and vulcanus that I have. Honestly a bit scared of getting over ran by pentapods because for some reason I suck at setting up defenses properly.
@@snottytoe6957 if i could restart my base in gleba I would bring some artillery turrets in automatic mode. It seems like pentapods bases are smaller and they expand more slowly than biters on nauvis.so it would not cost that much ammo to clear the area.
@@snottytoe6957 I 100% recommend artillery defense for gleba. Once the area is cleared I never got attacked since
Glebas science unlocks are better than from the other two, but there is no argument for the non-science unlocks.
For my next playthrough which is going to be 1k science multiplier it's going to be the last one I will go to by a WIDE margin. Foundries, big miners and EM-Plants are just too good to pass up.
That doesn't even mention the absolute misery that is dealing with pentapods and spoilage...
I’d argue the heating tower Trigger unlock is incredibly useful everywhere else sans Vulcanus. Every base gobbles tons of energy. If you don’t want to gobble tons of space with accumulators on Fulgora, use the infinite sea of oil and some heating towers for compact energy. On Nauvis, convert outdated Steam engines into heating towers for nuclear energy-like power generation without the Kovarex complexity. And definitely use it on Aquilo. You may get EM plants and foundries from the other inner planets, but they’re not going to run very well if they have no power.
@@Jacob8890 kovarex is really really overkill for just nuclear energy. You want it for nukes, biolabs and spawners, but you need a comically small amount for the energy part of it. But you do have a point with the heating towers in general. Being able to use them as bins or "advanced" steam power is quite nice. I didn't even consider that heating towers are part of the pre-science tech of gleba and was only really thinking about the EMs and Foundries.
In my opinion EM + Recycler and Foundry + Big Miner are both way better than heating tower + biochamber. Glebas tech is just too self-centered in my opinion in its production. I personally am not a fan of shipping bioflux or biter eggs just to have biochambers function, so I don't do it on anything other than Gleba (minus fish upcycling for spidertrons).
@@hellboy19991 i agree with biochambers being particularly useless everywhere else and have never used it outside of Gleba.
I want to add that heating towers, unlike EM plants, big mining drills, and foundries, don’t request Gleba specific ingredients to build. You can build them on Nauvis the moment you unlock it. Or Vulcanus or Fulgora natively. The heating tower, for me, is the true prize of Gleba.
Hot take: Gleba is the easiest planet to do. The factories can be so small and simple to just rush the science. And as long as you clear out the nearby pods you'll be fine.
Just make sure to research bullets and explosives, not lasers. use mines and capsules and aim for a spidertron based defense
At one point I settled to: Gleba is waste. When a stompa runs into my defenses and kills 20 turrets and the 30 ammobelts around that then... fine ... its another kind of Glebawaste.
if I'm not mistaken, you can't create a legendary fish
And I just made Gleba the last planet of the three to do :D
I would only go with cliff explosives to gleba, or cliffs disabled
Released at a good time to correct Trupen
I'm naming my daughter Gleba
I'll be honest mate, in almost every game I play I run out of things to research WAY before I run out of potential resources to make the science. Like sure it's more efficient but my bottleneck on science is how fast I can build the factory, not their outputs.
Fair. On the other hand Space Age introduced so many new infinite research options that it's very beneficial to research more than twice as fast.
@AVADIIStrategy oh yeah by all means the infinite researches are worth it.
If only real life was Gleba 😔
Hello, I would really like to see your space ship designs if even just a quick overview!
It's Glebi'n time
Gleba had broken me. I hate it. I liked Fulgora and loved Vulcanus but Gleba just... Hurts my brain.
I may not watch the video, but I agree gleba is the best. Get a like
True but big mining drill go brrr
Yes, it is.
If you survive long enough to research those things yes gleba has the strongest research
Liked the video for the valid hot take, but the order of planets is kind of irrelevant though in my opinion.
For your first trip your prep a "planet starter kit". You drop to Vulcanus with all the materials to IMMEDIATELY launch back up and leave again. You ONLY manually craft and place a silo, a bunch of solar, and a roboport with a bunch of bots. You launch your character back to your ship, grabbing your next "planet starter kit" from Nauvis, repeat on Fulgora and Gleba. One of the early things to (robo-mall!) craft on each planet should be a tank with suitable gear in its grid, which you can use as a "remote character", useful for killing your first Small Demolishers, crossing the Fulgoran Oceans and other things which are tedious/dangerous with just your logistics net. But my point: It is "best" to develop all 3 planets simultaneously, in parallel.
A bit early for an April Fools joke wouldn't ya think
"is this an off season April fool's joke?"
It what I understood yesterday.
Gleba is the first!
if you have 2000 hours
or like to suffer
@@teorloges315 yeah, I have about 1700+, my bad.
@@ІгорЛисенко-ж9н then u should be fine, go gleba 1st, and tell us, if it will go smoothly
@@teorloges315 Well, nothing really to be told.
Nuclear power for fast start.
10 roboports. Substations.
Some defence.
Drone logistics.
1 planter for Umako, one for nut.
Burn more 200 spoil not to clog any system,
Egg crafting should be 2 to 1 to agro science,
Profit.
I had to find a friend to play Factorio with, just so I didnt have to go to Gleba again on my second run..... -_-
Are folks really running low on science before infinite? I feel like you save way more time getting the irreplaceable utility of things like mech armor compared to more efficient science
This! I spent way more time setting up the bases on Fulgora and Vulcanus than having to wait for tech research getting finished. Of course, if you already have all your blueprints and building a base becomes somewhat trivial, then getting the biolab might have a higher priority.
All of those take a massive amount of Gleba research to unlock however and base Gleba tech is useless for other planets, and Gleba is not well suited for crafting most things. Meanwhile the Vulcanus Big Mining Drill and Foundry are basic unlocks, and it has far better resource patches (lava = unlimited ores, coal, sulphuric acid geysirs).
I would go Vulcanus first, upscale all your production there for building space ships and all the things you need for colonizing planets, then go Gleba for the research lab, then finally Fulgora for quality crafting because that one is more a logistics challenge than a production challenge and the logistics improvements from Gleba and Vulcanus really help a lot.
Then back to Vulcanus to start mass producing rare ingredients consistently.
Cap, gleba is free resources
