4000 EM-Rail Ejector build - full planet

Open Blueprint
README:
1. Must feed pre-sprayed inputs
2. set orbits 1, 2 and 3; ok preset but feel free to experiement (or use the retargeting mod):
-- 1,2 to horizontal (0° inclination)
-- 3 to polar (90° inclination)
-- Longtitude same as that of gun planet

THIS BP combines:
• 10x "400 gun" sections [link] (16k sails/min at peak per section <- sprayed sails in)
• 2x "42 sun polar cap" [link] (12.096 GW total <- sprayed rods in)

STATS:
• 1650-1800 guns firing with no retargeting from my limited testing
• roughly 68k sails/min avg --> ~2270 node saturation (mind your sphere build status)
-- Should work nicely with my 240 node layer bp, just build most of the rocket framework first
• makes a 10M sail swarm, will murder FPS in-system so stay away while it's working
• uses 8GW of the available 12. Available suns can support at most ~2670 guns firing together but that would require ~67% of the planet firing

MISC:
• technically fits 4005 guns, I deliberately left an empty spot in the center of each 1/5th section to get the round number
• each of the 10 towers outputs 3 belts, feeding 136 (orbit 1/orange), 142 (orbit 2/green), 122 (orbit 3/blue) guns
• flip orbits 1&2 so they're 180° from each other and get a cool 3-beam split

FOR NERDS:
• Push-method for sails is good because vessels only need to make half the trip before freeing up the "inbound" tower reserved space, since at full blast only 10 vessels can be inbound at the same time and you want to maximize how fast they cycle so you can get more item throughput.
-- with current layout you should only need ~120/s sails avg per-tower (166sec trip), and an absolute peak rate per section of 267/s (75s trip)
-- you can use your current vessel speed to figure out how far your sails production planet can be before you start running into issues (don't forget the ~20s combined landing and takeoff time)
-- if the sails planet is too far you can add some relay towers along the way, or even set the central AM rod towers to also receive sails and distribute them locally
• Orbit setup optimization is hard, the idea is to reduce the "pitch limit" dead angle as much as possible
-- Theoretically, assuming a distant target point 5-90° pitch would cover 45.6% of the planet, but 60-90° are dead, so only 38.9% will fire if all guns target 1 point
-- from testing with the "ok preset" orbits, I got 41-45% firing, so it has some utility, the downturns are mostly from the polar orbit switchover every half-year (planet orbit)
-- with more axially tilted planets it would be hard to avoid the dead zones, so expect behavior closer to 40%
-- from hearsay, with retargeting mod you can get ~60% firing at the cost of some UPS from the gun retargeting code
The Preview feature is unavailable at the time.
