Spacebase Startopia

this is for the first mission Garbage Empire
as soon as you start
build a berth (custom or prefab ok), a fuzzy charging station, communication center, and recycling center.
i had 2 atmosphere and 2 garbage bots crates that i could pickup and then unpack so build those from the crates or buy them
then hire telgor and bugrathorians (do as many as you can, try get 8 of each as soon as you can)
you can manual pickup trash (hold a) then drop off at recycle center (lb + a to access bottom toolbar, select garbage with a, with cursor over recycle center press a)
there will be garbage bombs that appear, you can pick those up and put them in the recyle center with the same method
when possible i recomend building another recycle center, and hiring more of both factions (try for 8 more of each again)
you should be able to get Giddy in the Garbage achievement while playing before the mission ends following this recommendations
