I’m going to regret staying up this late, but I got the factory done that I started yesterday.

I love the look of the frame pillars, but this was TEDIOUS as all hell to build. Mainly because these pillars aren’t actually hollow, you can’t target inside of them.

I mentioned yesterday that I did something interesting with the Iron Ingot line, where I’m alternating between inputs and outputs, and you can kinda see it here, running underneath the catwalk. The smelters here feed into the line, then some lifts pull off of it and feed into the constructors on the upper level, then another set of smelters feed into the belt, and so on.

Same thing, but a view from the outside, on the ground floor. Also featuring the iron ore feed, and the plate/screw outputs hanging above it. Also also, the pillars supporting the detached upper level.

Depot and sinking logistics, and also some nice hanging lighting.

I like the little white stripe along the bottom.

And with that done, I can finally clean up most of this nonsense.

    Looks fantastic! Makes me want to start all over and not have such a mess in my world.

    How did you get the light on the bottom of the splitter?

      By placing a foundation at the level that they would sit on, placing a foundation on top of that, then placing a sign on the underside of that foundation and nudging it over into position. Then, realizing that the merger’s hitbox completely covers the sign, making it impossible to configure it, and being forced to remove all the mergers completely and replace them later, after placing the signs.

        That’s a not of work, I’ll just enjoy that you’ve done it from afar 😂.
