Today starts the replacement for this here Nobelisk factory.
That also means tearing down my SAM production…
…because I can’t NOT run the tubeway under the arch. C’mon. Hopefully I have enough of a backlog of SAM built up to last a while, cause I’m not actually going to rebuild this until I get Manufacturers unlocked, and can make SAM Fluctuators.
So, I wanted to do something other than just splitting up the factory into big lines of the same machines, making one item each, and I spotted the opportunity here. The planning for this factory called for exactly 12 Assemblers for Nobelisk, and exactly 12 Constructors for Steel Pipe. Also, 6 Assemblers for Fine Black Powder. So, I prototyped a factory floor with 2 Nobelisk Assemblers, and everything needed to feed them from raw resources, all in one.
Then I can just duplicate that 6 times. Unfortunately, this floor plan was too large to fit in the Small Blueprint Designer, which is all I’ve got at the moment.
Finally, I made a rough layout for routing Coal and Sulfur to the factory.
8 meters for logistics? Isn’t that a lot or is it necessary when everything is packed that tightly?
It’s actually only 4 or 5 meters in the logistics space, it just looks bigger because the factory floor is 1 foundation shorter in length than the logistics floor. I.E. the front foundation on the logistics floor will not have a ceiling, just the hanging catwalk above it.
8 metres is convenient in that you can have two levels of conveyors and still be free to walk around easily?
