I used lots and lots of explosives, seemed to work out great :v:

Josh, is that you?


Doing my first play through since update 5. researched all of tier 7 except for drones. Built 2 turbofuel plants that turn 600 oil pm to diluted fuel to turbo fuel which runs a total of 150 generators. Got the idea of building an all in one factory but I am realizing that even 2 tier 5 belts from a train station really isn't enough to feed enough raw materials into machines to really supply enough basics like steel and iron ingots to make everything. Might just suck it up and run it as best I can and let it run slow until everything can back up. Building just the 1 around the world train line was so much work, I really respect people who build a ton of train lines. Maybe in a future map I will figure it all out.

Did you use any kind of blueprints to build that? like is each generator section a blueprint?

Nope, just the floor grid from foundation blocks, and the fact that it’ll snap placement but still allow a 45 on adjacent blocks.

That is, I used the 45+foundation snap to make the ring, then everything is built as an extension from that.

e: that is to say, I did it the hard way, piece by piece

working on an all in one factory, using blue prints and not even trying to make it pretty, it is so much work.. you are a mad man

Also I have been using signs as a light source in tunnels and stuff. They do decently since they snap to walls and don't need power. Not sure if that is an option or if I am digging a grave for my save.
