The real problem isn't the spoilage, it's that there's so many feedback loops needed.
And the issue is, if you let your fruit to spoil, you lose the seeds. If you lose the seeds, you lose possibility of sowing them. So.. Yeah.
This got me like 4x due to certain bugs. I've decided to, at the very least, used bots with fruits and seeds. The rest is nuts, the devs purposefully went with absurd amounts of stuff like nutrients to discourage botting.
In the end I decided that this kind of shit needs a modular approach - don't even want to deal with calculations, so I made small units that each does one thing and then just connect them together.
The outer loops is nutrients and waste removal, the straight-thrugh belt is the actual processing.
The issue is mainly that I the fruit cycles were unsynced, so sometimes it'd stop working bc one wasn't available in quantity.
I ended up just brute forcing via log bots, but I did read an interesting post on the subreddit that suggested a "main river" architecture (compared to the typical "main bus"): all spoilables go on a giant belt that ends with a bunch of heat towers where they're promptly incinerated for power. You pull from the river, process the material, feed the results back onto the river. The result is that all your spoilables are always fresh, the "river" never stops flowing, and you avoid any awkward clogs. Viewing Gleba as, basically, a flow system vs. the stock system you see on the other planets seems like it'd greatly simplify logistics. Personally I didn't build a single heat tower until Aquilo which is an obvious missed opportunity in retrospect.
Just burn it for electricity. I brought Tesla towers, they incinerate a megawatt each on standby. The giant crabs are not killable otherwise than rockets or electricity.
E.g. ?.
But you can process it all into carbon, which takes up less space and store it too. Even make coal out of it, really. Which you need to do anyway because of the giant crabs, which are very, very tough and armor-piercing rockets are really the only way to deal with them.
