All this expansion and only a single coal patch with >>63k<< units. 🤯
I must have hit a really cursed seed because Fulgora is screwed as well and has basically no large islands.

Well, you can always produce coal in orbit from asteroids and ship it down
That requires Gleba science … GLEBA!!!
If my math is right it’s just 3500 gleba science (before productivity)
Ship in the other needed science and labs and research the tech quick.
I believe in you.
I believe in you.
At least one of us is.
I never had an issue with gleba enemies.
You just don’t kill the little nests.
They can’t expand the same way biters can, they only expand to wetlands, not dry, and obviously not water, which means (at least on my world) they tend to cluster, and some areas just can’t get an expansion from one wetland to the next.
That wetland rule seems to just be true for expansions, the original nests will be on dry land, but once cleared, they can’t expand back to those spots.
I ended up sending a few souped up laser turret spidertrons to remotely manually clear out a bunch, and they just failed to generate back. I did have to kill a ton of nests, but by leaving the little nests, they don’t expand back, and little nests can’t send out expansion groups of their own.
Pain in the ass to save the little nests while killing all the big ones, but definitely worth it. Gleba is the hubworld now, every planet except aquilo can go directly to it and back.
I just wish I could send stuff ship to ship, but gleba’s resources (except stone) are infinitely renewable anyway, rockets arent a problem once it’s set up.
Gleba my beloved
Sounds like cursed seed. My only issue so far has been Aquilo. There was a single, small, quickly exhausted lithium salt field on the main island, and I’m surrounded by copious flouride and oil… but the second lithium I found was so far away I had to run a train to it.
Coal is a rare in Vulcanus, but you got dealt a particularly bad hand there.
Finally! I have been blessed with 15,5m coal!
After the starting pocket, I had to go way TH out to these edges to find more coal. When I did, however, they were motherloads: 5M each.
Ah, had similar experience! Found coal in the farthest corner of a last small worm territory that I happened to miss for hours.
