    Nauvis: Definitely 2

    Vulcanus: Definitely 2, never even crossed my mind on 1. It’s like Venus but it’s a Vulcan.

    Gleba: 2

    Fulgora: 1

    Aquilo: Well I’ve been pronouncing it as a-QUILL-ee-oh this whole time, probably due to the motorcycle brand “Aprilia,” which looks similar to “Aquilo”. I guess I can just drop the 3rd syllable. That makes it option 3 I believe.

    Space Age: Of course 1. 2 is just wrong.

    TL;DR: 222131

    I had work that week, so I couldn’t get much in. The day before I was itching so I started a space exploration save and got a little attached to that even though I never made it past military science. Now I’m playing space age and have just built a rocket!

    I’ll add more details:

    The start was poor, with widely spaced starting resources, no choke points, and a dry climate which absorbs pollution the least. The only good thing was a nearby small oil vein. So for the first few hours, I intentionally didn’t scale up as not to anger the biters. I actually researched military and gun turrets before automation.

    Then, I scaled up but minimized pollution by switching to solar power with only 8 steam engines running, and made many efficiency modules. With that, I could focus on getting bots and trains, and heading to space, and that’s where I am now.
