    How do I scale up production on Fulgora?

    I went there first, and already brought back my first 1k Fulgora science. But I’m emptying the scrap field very quickly. It seems like all the large islands only have low amounts of scrap, like 300k or so, and only small islands have 30M or more. So far I don’t have technology to transport scrap between islands. Am I missing something, or do I need replicate my factory on every island in the beginning?

      I don’t believe it’s possible. As far as I can tell, you’re very limited in how much you can scale up on any planet until you’ve gotten research from all the others. 300k scrap should get you about 3k science, plus you can mine those pink plants for holmium ore. That should be more than enough for your first visit.

      Correction: Elevated rails can be researched before you ever leave Nauvis. That should allow you to transport scrap between islands.
