The Tick (6 launches)

The Tick is a 6 launch, 3-furnace Factorio space ship I which uses only Nauvis non-quality tech.

Blueprint

Performance (loiter route)

TL;DR: continuous-duty Nauvis/Fulgora lap time: 20 minutes

In this route, we allow loitering at any planet.

Design notes

Adding an extra launch brings significant improvements over The Flea:

  • Better asteroid collector / crusher control
    • Collector storage is fully utilized, with asteroid ratio control.
    • Crusher control gives priority to ice, then carbon, then iron ore.
    • Crushed item targets are not grossly exceeded, as with The Flea.
  • Turret count is increased to 3, allow faster travel speed (limited to 45).
  • Furnace count is increased to 3, reducing ammo restock delays.

While The Aphid and The Flea were interesting as design challenges, I would consider The Tick to be the first ship in this series which could be considered practical.
