You can drop onto any of the first three planets with nothing and be perfectly fine, it will just be like half an hour slower than if you brought some extra stuff along. I’ve been raw dogging them for the hell of it and once I’ve got their machines all automated and the basic researches out of the way I’m ripping everything up and qualitymaxxing where that makes sense to do so. Aquilo won’t know what hit it.
That's good news - thanks for helping my "gotta have EVERYTHING perfect for this big step" anxiety.
Notably this does not apply to the final planet, where you will want at the very least a healthy reserve of basic resources and probably the stuff for a small scale nuclear reactor for both heat and power. Personally, I’m going to get basic science set up on the three starter planets, then set up quality boosted module production and then make something of a megabase before tackling Aquilo.
I would say you almost need elevated rails researched before going to Fulgora from what I've seen. You don't need to ship them over or anything, but you need to be able to build them.
I wouldn’t say so! There are large islands with small quantities of scrap on them that were more than sufficient for me to get back into space with.
Unless it's enough to complete that research, then you might as well save the struggle and research before you go. Best case, you come back to Nauvis and unlock it, which you could have done in the first place.
