Your first few modules are critical. Do not build the Orbital Observatory first, even though the game prompts you.

Cargo shuttles travel from the Earth Elevator (one side of the hub) to the Moon Gateway (another side). If these two modules are on opposite ends of the station, shuttles cross the entire map, causing delays.

: Connectors extend the station's footprint, while modules provide the actual research capacity.

The is not about squeezing in every possible module. It is about flow, adjacency, and strategic zoning . A well-designed station turns your corporation into a seamless machine: resources flow from the Arctic to Earth, up to the Moon, and back down as advanced goods, all while your research labs unlock planet-changing technologies.

Now, fire up your orbital interface, demolish that chaotic mess of modules, and build a station worthy of the year 2205. The Lunar colonists are counting on you.
