I landed on Vulcanus, setup a base so that I can launch rockets from there. Unlocked of course the drill and foundry. I could not kill a worm yet. I need more weapon upgrades from Nauvis.

My question is :

What do you transport from Vulcanus to Nauvis? only the drills, foundries and orange science?

I found that a tank with Uranium ammo makes short work of worms.

Every planet has a PLANET_wants group, that's put into the landing pad of that planet.

There is a buffer on each planet requesting the _wants group next to the rockets.

There are two shuttles that go through the planets clockwise and counter clockwise. They both have all the planet _wants groups

So if a planet needs huge drillers, it gets set one time in the _wants group, and everything else just happens automatically.

The ability to share logistics groups across devices is a really good quality of life improvement

Small worm is nuke to face or blueprint turrets with piercing ammo in them. Worms are actually pretty easy if you have enough turrets and piercing ammo. Both can be automated on vulcanis. I exported whatever unique planet items I hey have back to main nauvis base as well as some intermediates that I can easily make in extreme amounts with lava

Tungsten plates and calcite in moderate quantities. FNEI recently got updated to be 2.0 compatible, so you can check the supply chain for things that you want to make on Nauvis.

I've had good luck with atomic bombs against the small worms. The only downside is needing to import so much Uranium.

Alt left click on anything in game to get the inbuilt pedia.

You guys need FNEI? Factoriopedia is great!

My planet hopper routinely transports Science(I make purple there too, but that’s by no means optimal), Drills, Foundries, Calcite to use the Foundries, Turbo belts (don’t forget the splitters/undergrounds), tungsten steel, and a bit of tungsten plates though they aren’t used as much as the steel.

If you’re having difficulty killing small worms, at least 100 poison capsules requires very little tech and should do the trick.

I don't know if I'm "supposed" to do it or if it's a massive resource waste, but I've been shipping basic goods like plates, gears, steel and basic circuits. It just seems so efficient to use the lava for all my forging.
