I have a question.
While I was workshopping my biolab setup, I also have just noticed how extremely stinky biolabs are.
Now, the question is: I have a mech suit. Biters can't cross water. I can paint the middle of a lake with landfill and just paste a blueprint there. Why not make a lab island?
Since I'm shipping all my science from outside nauvis, it'd be even easier to just park the cargo landing pad in the middle of a lake, paste down a reactor and bring a chest full of uranium cells. This setup uses around 40 MW and generates 1500 pollution per minute while it's working. I could just have a reactor powering the lab island and move to fusion power later on, that one's space-based too and it'd be even more compact.
Wouldn't it be great?
