How it works
Coordinate cargo transfer and science pack supply across planets and space platforms. Each stage in the walkthrough below has a distinct practical objective; complete the current supply or control loop before expanding it.
Practical advice
Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba and Aquilo have distinct technologies and resources. Choose what to make locally before designing universal import routes.
Mistakes to avoid
Never assume an unrelated blueprint or another version of Factorio has identical recipes, technology unlocks or machine ratios. Use the checkpoints in this guide to diagnose your own save.
Space Age interplanetary logistics: complete walkthrough
Create explicit requests
Define what a planetary landing pad and each platform require, then verify supply thresholds. Avoid ambiguous wildcard requests that mix unrelated items.
Balance platform capacity
Reserve transport inventory, fuel, ammunition and processing capacity. A full cargo hold can interfere with asteroid handling or deliveries.
Plan return logistics
Deliver specialized science to labs and ship supporting supplies to the producing planet as necessary. Check request completion in both directions.
Reassess for 2.1
Version 2.1 improves landing-pad unloading and circuit handling, but it does not add new planets. Review old 2.0 blueprint assumptions as you upgrade.
