[OLD] Chapter 2 - Tiers 1+2

[samsmithnz]

• [ ] Build and plan for mall, and train and truck stops, on multiple layers.
  • At least 2 tiles, maybe 3, for bi-directional (elevated) train track
  • Room for multiple train stations
  • At least 2 tiles for bi-directional trucks (probably stacked under the trains)
  • At least 2 tiles on each side for the mall/containers
• [ ] Formalize early Iron, Copper, and Limestone into a mall (10 per min)
• [x] Research Tier 1 + 2 items (ordered by priority)
  • [x] Tier 1
    • [x] Logistics (splitter + mergers) (32 min)
    • [x] Base Building (foundations) (47 min)
    • [x] Field Research (MAM) (57 min)
  • [x] Tier 2 items
    • [x] Obstacle Clearing (chainsaw + solid biofuel) (1:08 hrs)
    • [x] Part assembly (assembler, copper sheet, rotor, modular frame) (1:20 min)
    • [x] Logistics Mk2 (mk2 belts) (2:18 hrs)
    • [x] Resource sink program (sink) (2:33 hrs)
    • [x] Jump pads (2:43 hrs)
• [x] Scale up biomass power generators as needed
  • [x] Upgrade to solid biofuel (2nd most efficient fuel in game) after researching obstacle clearing
• [x] Setup production for Reinforced plates (10 per min)
• [ ] setup production for rotors and modular frames (10 per min)
  
• [ ] Setup MAM + resource sink
• [ ] Find and research hard drives
• [ ] Establish Space Elevator and delivery factory locations
  • [ ] We need 8 factories, (foundation is 8m, but manufacturer is 22m - is 10 tiles too many?). This should be an avenue of some sort, perhaps with a delivery mall in the middle leading to the space elevator, with inputs in the back.
• [x] Deliver Space Elevator payload to unlock tiers 3+4
  • [x] 50 smart plating (3:24 hrs)
  • [ ] Setup factory to produce 2 Smart Plating per minute - putting the rest in storage for later (need 6500 total - or 1200 per container or 5.4 containers full - rest of overflow into sink)
