kurzaen Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 recently, I've been able to get my duplicants to the surface of the asteroid and have begun to collect the regolith, and I tried building an observatory, but it kept on getting destroyed, so I put tiles over it, but the tiles get destroyed, and the observatory is blocked by the tiles above it, I tried making steel tiles to cover it but I don't have enough resources to cover the top of the observatory. Is there anything I can do here to protect my observatory that is cheaper than using steel?

Neotuck Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 no Always produce large amounts of steel before going to the surface Build bunker doors to protect observatory Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/98197-cant-seem-to-get-anywhere-in-space/#findComment-1111885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzionut Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Nop bunker steel is the only option. You have in the oil biome fossils, crush it and you will have enough steel Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/98197-cant-seem-to-get-anywhere-in-space/#findComment-1111887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroturtle Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Keep in mind, steel bunker tiles are different from steel metal tiles. Only the bunker tiles and doors will stand up to meteors. You probabaly know this, but just pointing it out as I've seen others misunderstand the difference.

When you open surface, you MUST be ready to close whole surface biome with steel tiles/bunker doors. You can fix it in sandbox mode, when you want..

crypticorb Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 You need to make a crapload of steel. There's no other way to protect the surface, but it isn't as difficult as you think. Dig down to the oil biome, and dig out every scrap of fossil you can find. In every new map I've generated, there's always enough fossil (crushed to lime) to make at least enough steel to completely cover the surface in a layer of bunker tiles, sometimes enough fossil to make several rockets as well. You can get enough refined iron just from reaching the surface and collecting all the iron from fallen meteors. I started my bunker shield around cycle 400, and by that time there was more than enough iron lying around to make a large majority of the shield.

KidWobble Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The door and windows of Gravitas are made of steel you can repurpose.
