You can technically softlock on Fulgora

Morning champs.

Yesterday I speedrun the hell out of my science and space platform to get to Fulgora as fast as possible (I wanted those damn recyclers).

My space platform, of course, was in absolute shambles upon arival at Fulgora, so it was a one way trip anyways.

Now, lucky I played on the railworld preset, meaning biters were not a huge problem and my base wasn't under attack back on Nauvis.

The moment I arrived on Fulgora and built my first lightning rod I was like "wait, how do I connect them to power? I have no power poles, and they need iron rods, and for iron I need an recycler and that needs power?"

Yes, I haven't researched substations yet, luckily my Nauvis base was still up and could research it no problem, but if biters would have attacked it in the meantime I might have gotten myself into a real pickle.

tldr: research substations before leaving for Fulgora or you might have a bad time.
