Some inexpensive Factorio ship designs

Inexpensive Factorio ship designs

Here's an overview of my Factorio ship designs which can be built inexpensively.

These ships are designed for use within the first four planets.

⭐️ Recommended ships:

  • The Hornet (the cheapest useful ship)
  • The Tanto (a fast, cheap solar ship)
  • The Crockett (the cheapest useful nulear ship)
  • The Wakizashi (a fast, cheap nuclear ship)
  • The Aquiller (an Aquilo-capable ship)
