So, as much as I’m itching to make REAL progress in this play, I can’t, in good conscience, put off FICSMAS any longer, so I’ve planned out what I want for a permanent factory, and that’s gonna start with some Iron and Copper.

I agonized for a fair bit, actually, about where I wanted to pull from, and there really weren’t any Impure nodes I could access without expanding out like another 3 biomes, so I went with this Pure/Normal pair near Coal Canyon Lake.

I have a chunk of tubeway right nearby here. Just a quick hop up the waterfall, and I can join right up to where the Coal heads off towards the coastline for Versatile Frameworks. One small dip to go around the existing coal belt, and we’re in business.

Nice.
