On my first playthrough, sure. I had endless problems with that.

But on the second go-around, I actually managed to get it running self-sufficiently without any major problems. A set-it-and-forget-it Gleba is possible.

(Fulgora was actually the one I had to keep coming back to. Damn resource nodes were too shallow and kept running out, cutting off the supply of raw resources. And there doesn’t seem to be any way around that.)
