Big mining drill array: 2,640/s is a blueprint with 343 entities in a 25×23 tile area, mainly 1 × big mining drill and 1 × rocket silo. Its author gives 2,640 per second (about 44 turbo belts, or 11 turbo belts stacked 4 high). It needs Space Age. Copy the string and import it from the blueprint library.

About this build

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. It is 343 buildings in a 25 by 23 tile area.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 25 × 23 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Turbo transport belt, Turbo underground belt, Turbo splitter).
  • It places legendary quality items: your logistic network must hold them at that quality before robots can build it.
  • It is large: construction robots will place it much faster than building by hand.
