Rail Blocks (midgame) v3

Rail Block System that allows to scale from green science to mega base with the same pattern Lategame Blueprints available here: As the midgame blueprints don't contain trains: The idea is to have 1 train for each input station and another train for each output station. Each going from Output until full to Input until empty. Does include defense and nuclear Blueprints. Base pattern based on Modules mostly based Nilaus Masterclass builds

The Mall (Starter Factory) (UPDATED)

This is my standard "Starter Factory". It's where I get initial materials to build most other things. I've added most of the missing things. See other blueprints for more. I'm in the process of doing what I think will be a good final update soon. I started with a design for Flood Defense, and modified it to meet my starting needs. Put in Copper and Green circuits on a belt and something to burn and iron ore in the other end and you get most things you need to build out the rest of your factory.

Early Game Mall: Fork from Mall by Klaas Hakvoort

This is my update of Early Game Mall by Klaas Hakvoort, which hasn't seen any updates in 6 years. I have addressed minor upgradeability issues, added some visual improvements, and kept drone friendliness in mind. Building tons of conveyors with personal drones was a pain. Link to original: Update 18.02: Added red circuits and green circuits. Updated nuclear, solar, extra gears, pipes. Update 18.03: Added cybersin mod part. I also fixed a few other issues.

Cobai's Starter Base

Cobai's Starter Base: (Version 2.0 BIG update below (17/08/2023) This base is designed around getting to bots as quickly and as safely as possible. The design is as compact as possible and is a rework of another base I found here a while back but split into several stages with some modifications to make it more reliable. All inputs are raw ore - Iron/Copper/Stone/Coal with Oil and Water also required. (Look for the combinators at the edge of the map to see entry points). I've added a VERY basic hand-fed early game to get science up and running with power and then the base expands rapidly into full red/green production, but this is then included and expanded upon within the main base blueprints, so things like labs don't need to be moved. All connections are labelled around the edge of the base and the entire base is surrounded by a wall for easy alignment. Please note - the blueprints must now be built in order as each stage only contains the needed entities for each seperate build. If you have early bots via a mod or nanobots this base goes up incredibly well as you craft items, otherwise if building by hand focus on getting ore and smelters running and then build production chains. ETA to bots from start on most maps is around 2 - 2.5 hours and then you can extend and build whatever you like. ** Version 2.0 ** Date 17/08/2023 - Game Version 1.1.89 Massive update to the Blueprint with all features I wanted to add in, complete. This base now goes beyond just bots and can be used to launch a rocket. It's not the fastest by any means, but it was never planned to be. I've kept this design true to the original idea, if you only want to get to bots, don't build past the bot bluepint otherwise continue following them. Every 'module' is supported by it's own raw input production chain - just hook up Iron/Copper Ore and watch it come to life! Mall Added Purple Science Added Yellow Science Added Launch Added!

1.0 science book preview

1.0 science book

This blueprint book has blueprints for all of the different kinds of science. Each blueprint accepts raw materials from the following list: Iron, Copper, Steel, Coal, Stone Brick, Plastic, Sulfur, Lubricant, and Sulfuric Acid. The design for blue science is the same between 0.17 and 1.0 because all you need to do is change the input and the blueprint remains exactly the same. Each factory makes its own circuits, advanced circuits, gears, pipes and everything else. All builds use blue assemblers so you can build utility science before production science if you want to. And all are designed to produce 1.5 science per second (i.e. 90 science/min) if all the input lines are full. If you upgrade every assembler to assembler 3s you might have to add one more chemical plant for batteries, but otherwise everything should work smoothly to produce 2.5 science per second (i.e. 150 science/min). This was created for 0.17, but it works fine on 1.0 (I've tested it).

Optimall: low-tech modular construction train mall - v0.0.2 preview

Optimall: low-tech modular construction train mall - v0.0.2

0.17 lets you build massive mall-fed construction/supply trains the moment you research rail. !tldr There's two steps. # 1. Low-tech Mall It's modular and organized by technology level, so you can start building it the moment you research circuit networks. Everything is brought out to one side for convenient pickup. Once you research locomotives, it's time to trainsition to the next stage. !trainforming mall to rail loader # 2. Rail Construction Loader Blueprints can include complex train schedules and wagons with detailed filters, so you only have to build something like this once: !pick up from every station Then you add whatever filters a particular supply train needs, copy the schedule from an existing one of the same length, and send it off. You also want to order the mall to keep some materials in stock - send negative counts to the red wire, assemblers will keep inserting until chest contents match them. The supply stacker has inaccessible stations. Drop down an enabled station with the same name, and a waiting train will go to it. !train station unreachable Eventually you'll research the logistic network. At that point you can move to a simple loader and a common bot-mall. !bot loader # Changelog - v0.0.2 simplify rail blueprints, mall is now separate from rail loader - v0.0.1 deadlock fixes, splitting out loader & train stations - v0.0.0 initial prototype

Project 30x30

Decided to build out DoshDoshington's base idea with a funny train stop setup, and expand it by limiting the builds to 30x30 grid size per resource. There's some exceptions to the rule, namely ore refining. If you don't allow that exception, it is kinda boring, because you end up with almost no spm.
