Line 18:
Replacing [[Extractor|extractors]] for [[MiningLaser|mining lasers]] might not be a bad idea. That's if your base can support it, and if you have the materials.
This is because mining lasers don't need to be 50 studs away from each other, unlike extractors. They can increase the amount of resources generated which might help resource shortage problems. However, they will also increase the power required to run the factory.
'''<big>Batteries instead of powercells</big>'''
Batteries hold 4x the amount of power of a freshly crafted powercell and are 1/4 the size, therefore if a battery was 1x1x1 it would hold 200, but a powercell of that size only holds 50. Battery substitutes for powercells are good but can get annoying to manufacture. If you are going with a smaller ship design, then a battery substitute is the best alternative to a powercell. To make this design you would need 1 piece of wire, an instrument, and a sufficient amount of batteries. First you want, to make the wire around 5 height, 10 length, and 1 depth. Second, you want to place the batteries on the wire until both long faces are covered, however, this can be tedious and it is smart to use the model builder to create a ship with this. once you have the batteries covering both sides of the wire, you need to find both the sides that are tall but have no length, then you need to attach a wire connecting to the wire and both battery layers, then you need to completely cover one of the sides with another layer of wire. Finally, you need to attach an instrument to the long side completely covered in wire and set it to detect power.
