Basket places the rocket silo, chases one shortage after another for the parts, scrambles to build a satellite at the last minute, and launches the rocket that ends Season 2.
Basket finally taps the oil: pumps, refineries and chemical plants turn it into plastic, a dead coal line gets replaced, and work starts on the rocket's parts.
Basket builds a second logistic network to push the wall out toward a new oil field, through big spitters, night power drops and a long list of shortages.
Basket builds a concrete cell for the rocket silo, chases empty iron mines by train, and squeezes more plastic out of the base by trimming batteries and drones.
Basket sends science by train to two new research stations, builds power armor with its own robots, pushes the wall into tougher enemies, and finds plastic is the real bottleneck.
Basket tries the rail chain signal on a live grid, takes the tank against the southern nests, builds a solar panel cell, and puts a new defended block up north.
Basket learns to drive the tank against enemy bases, builds a smelting block fed by trains, fixes the coal line, and finds four oil refineries sitting idle.
A nest blocks the rail grid, so Basket tries grenades, a rocket launcher and explosive rockets, places a first beacon, and finally clears it with a tank.
Basket shows off a base that grew between episodes, then builds rail templates with walls, turrets and roundabouts and drops the first ones down for the robots to build.
Basket gets blue science made on a line that still needs batteries and red circuits carried in by hand, researches requester chests, and lets construction robots build a new wall.
Basket builds the parts for drones by hand and by assembler, gets the first construction robots flying from a roboport, makes repair packs and finds that the next step needs blue science.
Basket finishes the red circuit line, fights off attacks along the wall with more turrets and an ammunition line, then pipes up sulfuric acid and gets batteries made.
Basket adds a row of steam power, guards the oil with turrets, gets plastic and solid fuel out of a small oil setup, fills out the labs and finds the road to drones needs batteries.
Basket rebuilds the new smelting block with coal down the middle and long handed inserters, researches bigger power poles, adds a turret line and tears up the drills on the iron patch.
Enemies reach the base: Basket puts up turrets and walls, swaps in steel furnaces, defends against an attack from the north and starts a separate smelting block.
