Six years and over 150 gravjumps using the Vanilla Gravship Expanded mod I finally have a gravship worth showing. Named after archospheres from the Space Exploration mod for Factorio. This is the smallest late-game colony I’ve had in years at only 9 people. My current project is making all the furniture excellent quality or better and making better exosuit modules (from The Dead Man’s Switch mod)

        B-but you’re doing a Death Star…

        Your colony leader’s estranged son is going to show on the opposite side of a raid and land a shot that nukes your whole gravship now.

    It seems like you barely have anything in storage. How does that work? Are you not making things constantly?

    What is a “jump”? I’ve never played Factorio.

      I’m using a combination of the Gravship Storage mod and OgreStack so that I don’t have gigantic stockpiles.

      The Oddysey DLC for Rimworld added low planet orbit space ships called Gravships which give you a mobile base that you use to jump from tile to tile to explore the world and get loot.

      I called my gravship The Archosphere after a thing from a Factorio mod, that’s all there is to the Factorio reference.
