ElderAxe's Quick Start Base v22

Check the previous version for full details.

QSB v22 is compatible with EARN 22 and adds several new features and quality‑of‑life improvements.

Major changes in v22

• EARN 22 Compatibility
  EARN Core, Depot and Service Hub has updated logic to work with EARN 22.
  QSB version number is also bumped to 22 to match EARN and leave the QSB 11.x version nightmare in the past.

• Built‑In Tiny Service Hub
  Includes its own construction and refuel trains so you can move straight into Pocket Base without a separate EARN Service Hub.

• Dual Rocket Silos
  Contains two silos for higher launch throughput and parallel rocket production.

• Blue‑Belt Production
  Full blue‑belt production for your high‑throughput blueprint needs.

• Improved Recycling Loops
  Updated layouts that automatically recycle and upgrade leftover lower‑tier entities.

• Reactor Production
  Dedicated nuclear reactor building production.

• Quality & Tier 2 Modules
  Module production areas for speed, efficiency, and productivity modules.

• Display Panels
  Inputs/outputs now marked with display panels for better visibility.

• Bug Fixes & Tweaks
  Various minor fixes carried over from QSB v11.x, plus layout optimizations for smoother expansion.

Upgrade to v22 and enjoy a more self‑contained, higher‑capacity starter base that grows with your factory!
