Space stations are great ways to keep your CloningBay safe, and mine from planet rings. The idea of a space station is incredibly simple; Anchor to keep your station in place, and a body made of a resource such as Iron. There are a few benefits of making a space station, such as a great hiding spot if your worried about griefers. There are a lot of downsides, such as the inability to build on solid ground, loss of gravity and air, and the lack of Resources. To build a space station, it is highly recommended to make it a ring base, to allow access to resources. Below are the main components of a space station:
SpawnPoint - Used for respawning on your station.
Anchor - This is practically required, as you don't want your station flying away!
PowerCell - This is required, as without it, you will have no supply of power.
SolarPanel - These are incredibly useful for generating power in space, as there is no night, meaning solar power is a consistent energy source. However, if your more end-game, it is recommended to use gas power or nuclear power.
AirSupply - There's no air in space, but you will still need to breathe (duh). So this allows you access to oxygen to your station.
They have a range of 300 studs of where you can breathe.
HyperDrive (Optional) - this is used if the planet you wish to put the space station around isn't the same planet you are building it on.
Radar (Optional) - It can be useful if your space station is under attack and wish to know where the enemy is.
Teleporter (Optional) - Useful to easily enter/exit your station, incase you need to get to another planet.
MiningLaser - This is only really recommended if your station is a ring base, so you can easily gain access to resources.
This is a Work In Progress, so expect more to come. But for now, bye!
