A post “end” location on the star map. You can fly there and it’s the only way to gather promethium, a material you need to craft the post game super science. I don’t think the shattered planet is supposed to be reached. It’s insanely far away and the asteroids get bonkers. But that didn’t stop some maniacs to actually do it with a butt load of nukes.
Well I may be one of those maniacs. I’ve already shipped the materials to Vulcanus to make myself a couple hundred nukes, not for the worms. Nukes just piss the worms off, and don’t hurt them. The nukes were for the cliffs.
Try taking rail guns to deal with the worms. Apparently even the handheld one easily does enough damage to casually oneshot mediums. 10k base physical damage and the shot keeps going and hitting things until it reaches end of range.
ETA: if you shoot roughly in line with the worm, you’ll easily get multiple segments. Each one takes the full shot of damage before resistances are applied, so the worm takes a ton of damage in a single shot, even with its resistance.
I haven’t been to Gleba and Fulgora yet. I just took a tank with uranium explosive shells, and got Physical Weapon Damage to 16. The worms died at that point.
And try non-explosive Uranium shells and a few gun speed upgrades. You need to overcome the healing with DpS, and the worms are weaker against kinetic shells than explosive ones.
Add some poison capsules and you can deal with at least small worms fine.
Gonna find out later myself if and/or how well mass Teslas work against worms. First build a factory on Fulgora that can get me to space, then research something with EM science, then unlock Purple and Piss Yellow science (yes, I’m trying for that super rare achievement), then work on the other fun gadgets and upgrades, before finally flying off to Vulcanus.
Railguns are better for big worms and only really necessary when/if you’re gonna push Vulcanus to megabase levels.
I heard one tip where, if you want to throw a FUCKTON of materials at worms, build a 4×4 square of nuclear reactors, let them heat up to 1000, then aggro the worm to try to chomp down on the reactors, causing it to nuke itself.
Advantage: available with only up to chemical science
Disadvantage: you’ll have to build four nuclear reactors, just to blow them up

Also, fair. Railguns are a Cryo science thing.
