Helios SPM Duet RE

Description
(CV CPU Tier 1, Class 2, Unlock Level 12, Reforged Eden Only)

Primary roles: Helios MSC Module, Production, Storage, Reforged Eden Only)

The Helios SPM (Storage and Production Module) Duet is a modification of the excellent Helios P Module 1 RE by jrandall: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2389689503.

The Duet is a dual Helios module, modeled after the "triple" modules popularized by Movado (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456536161) that take an entire side of the Helios or Helios 6-bay. Unfortunately those modules are relatively expensive, generally requiring a full slate of additional CPU Extenders. The Helios SPM Duet requires a single basic CPU Extender, with the ability to upgrade to additional CPU's and generators in order to house more production capability as additional CPU is added.

The benefit of a dual module is all the storage and production are on the same CV, thus avoiding the "produce then transfer manually issue". All Constructors/Deconstructors have access to all the storage modules.

Because the Duet is a dual module, it will fit in the 4-Bay Helios (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2630971238&searchtext=4+bay+helios) as well as the 6-Bay (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428050520&searchtext=4+bay+helios).

Some changes were made for the sake of CPU, including reducing the thruster count, removing the food/fridge(s). Solar panels were adjusted to fit 24 small and 2 large, for a negative power usage with all production equipment active, but not in-use.

Both modules have a pilots seat so you can drive from either.

The default loadout includes:

8 Advanced Constructors
4 Small Constructors
2 Deconstructors

16 320k Bays
16 16k Boxes
18 5k Pallets

Expansion:

10 Additional Advanced Constructor/Deconstructor Bays
4 Additional Small Constructor slots (with loads of space for more).

Space for additional CPU Extenders and 1 additional Large Generator.

Some thrusters were removed in order to save CPU, so while the Duet can move it doesn't move quickly.
