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?
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
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.

You just changed my life
You guys need FNEI? Factoriopedia is great!
I found that a tank with Uranium ammo makes short work of worms.
I find medium worms with tanks really hard (haven’t done the bigger ones yet), because they make these magma puddles that are hard to avoid and smash the tank immediately.
I usually set up 50 turrets in a 6x8 (roughly) rectangle and fill that with uranium ammo. I lay poison capsules and sometimes use defenders. That usually kills them, though sometimes I still need to help with the tank. If its not dead in a couple of seconds I need to try again. Maybe I’m overdoing it…
By the time you are dealing with medium worms you should have the railgun from aquilo.
Shoot it when it is charging at you because the round penetrates several segments causing massive damage.
I haven’t even left Vulcanus, though I am currently researching Gleba. Besides my starting patch of tungsten I didn’t find another without killing a medium worm. I feel like I haven’t spent enough time on vulcanus, my base there is a bit messy still, but I have all the resources I need now. Do you usually research all the planets in short succession to get all the tech before you expand your base on them?
i could kill worms with uranium tank ammo and damage research level 7
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.
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.
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
Drills, foundries, science, turbo belts, and the tungsten parts.
