How are everyone's Space Age factories going? (corndog.social)

It's been a little bit since Space Age released and I'm curious to hear what everyone has been up to lately in their factory!

On my part I've been ready to go to Aquilo for a while now but I got distracted rebuilding everything on Nauvis with a rail-based city block design. I also got a calcite mining platform up and running and switched over a bunch of production to use molten metal.

I'm hoping to check out Aquilo anytime now but I might have to do a bit of work on Gleba and Fulgora before I can afford to be stranded again.

What sorts of things have you been working on in your factory?

Are nutrient belts reliable? I ended up belting bioflux since that lasts two hours, and just putting a biochamber for nutrients at each factory (with spoilage backup that doesn't require nutrients).

It's been working well enough for me. Before and after every section that I pull nutrients off the belt I filter spoilage to another belt running in the opposite direction. I'm too lazy to calculate actual ratios so I just kind of eyeball places where spoilage seems to be backing up and either filter it off again or add a few inserters to pass it off to bots.

I'm planning to scale up my Gleba base a bit soon (working on Fulgora now) and I'm going to try putting bioflux on trains, making nutrients at each city block. Feel like that's going to be rough to figure out.
