I always try to do belt bases, as I prefer them. Gleba is damn near impossible. I tried to at the start but the spoilage and nutrients are just too much to handle for me. Bots to the rescue!

Very interesting, thank you. I built something similar except for the eggs which I have to manually find and put into a chest to kickstart egg production. This is because if the factory is powered off there are no nutrients being made and spoilage eventually will finish and eggs will spoil. So I left that part manual.

I wonder if you found a way to produce nutrients even with the factory powered off.

There's a small machine at the resource inputs that gets full resource priority and keeps a couple chests full of spoilage handy as well. Eggs decay fairly slowly so it doesn't take that much to keep one circulating.
It's not a perfect solution but saves needing manual intervention for at least as long as it takes me to look back there again

  1. Nice
  2. Wait a moment: is there a way to read spoilage time left?
