Big mining drill array: 1,920/s

Big mining drill array: 1,920/s is a blueprint with 85 entities in a 49×10 tile area, mainly 16 × big mining drill. Its author gives 1,920 per second (about 32 turbo belts, or 8 turbo belts stacked 4 high). It needs Space Age. Copy the string and import it from the blueprint library.

About this build

Xeinaemm's note: The blueprint can be split in any direction. If you can't afford the legendary electric poles, you should use the right part of this plan unless you don't mind external poles and substations. Periodic line gaps occur because mining drills perform a buffer reset.

An array of big mining drills, from Xeinaemm's Tileable Factories book. The rate is Xeinaemm's minimum with legendary machines and full productivity research, so expect less early on.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 49 × 10 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Turbo underground belt, Turbo transport belt, Big mining drill).
  • It places legendary quality items: your logistic network must hold them at that quality before robots can build it.
