This has been by far the most successful colony I've had. A ton of my colonists have advanced bionics, they're equipped with broken ass mechanoid busting weapons, and my stockpiles are overflowing with steel, plasteel, and components.
The biggest thing that helped me this run was definitely selling insect jelly. I got it down to a science to where I only really need to lay down stone walls between cullings with autocranes (from VFE mechanoids) building the area for me, but after that I have free kibble, silver, and combat experience
Current goals in the colony are to pursue nuclear power, upgrade my androids, raid VFE mechanoid ships, and start production of drugs from Mechanite Forge (herculum, bastion, etc)
