A long time ago, I ran a server called Laterally Unplayable 2... a 9 tile wide map. Now that Space Age 2.1 is out, it's time to give it one more go... this time IN SPACE! Server's public.

Laterally Unplayable 3, a ribbon world that's just 9 tiles wide. Good luck!

Does the map width apply to space platforms as well? Narrow platforms would probably have done better in 2.0 but I suspect you could still get to endgame alright with pencil ships even if they sail a little slower.

    Nope, and that's where the current meta is going... we're eventually making a fleet of space factories

    I like orbital space factories. Kinda wish we could barrel up fuel to make that on my orbital factory though but at least fuel production takes much less space than asteroid collection and crushing.

    Most likely looking at 3 different platform types:

    Static factories - pretty self explanatory

    Resource miners - speed isn't too important, efficient fuel usage and devour as many rocks as possible

    Transporters - fast and high cargo capacity
