gollark: … that would do it, why did I never think of that... but you still need room for the ship component stuff.
gollark: Happily, you can construct more tanks on site from resources there, but I ran into issues of the docking port orientations getting messed up, and wobbliness.
gollark: The annoying thing with using Simple Construction to build ships is that you need tanks big enough to hold all the fuel and components of the ship you build at once.
gollark: There are mods for resource sharing between local ground bases, I think.
gollark: Just harvest 5 times its mass to use in mass drivers.
