Official Memo: Pioneers are hereby granted a 120 second break to use the screenshot/photo mode to share a picture of something that they have built that is exceedingly efficient.
Maybe a regular thread, maybe not, we’ll see how popular it is, but show off something cool you’ve built! A building, an efficient factory module, something artistic, take a moment to show off that thing you were really proud of, we want to see it!
Pure chaos. Mostly. Behind me are two more factories (Steel and Copper), with two Iron factories in the foreground, then most of the Assembler factories. It all buses around until it gets to the sorters, and then into storage, with plans to use the storage to feed the Manufacturers. Currently finishing up the skeleton walls, and resisting the urge to redo the Iron/Copper/Steel factories a fourth time. I’m bored with how basic the Assembler factories look, and I’ve got a nicer one in the blueprint maker.
And yes, I have a favourite colour.
I’d say it’s actually pretty well organized! I am curious what you’re accomplishing with all of the splitters and mergers, some sort of balancing system?
Mostly it’s moving from the 4 Refine/Constructor factories to the Assembler factories, and making sure that any of the lines don’t get backed up. Lots of moving items from one side to another, programmable splitters move things sideways, smart splitters send specific items to the Assemblers. Takes a bit of fiddling to make sure things go to the right spots, but so far it’s working very smoothly. A couple of the Assembler factories aren’t running at 100%, turns out the Copper factory is backing up, when that’s redone I’ll be making sure I’m not overloading any one sorter belt.
Very nice, very efficient!
