Well, I didn’t say I wasn’t going to play it :). In fact I’m about to launch a rocket again.

I’m on a train map, with big deposits but far away. It does take a while to get places, even with a power armor with 8 exoskeletons…

I’m hoping to build up to a clean, consistent 2700 SPM–i.e., a full blue belt of each of the science packs. Getting there. I have a _lot_ of trains.
