About this build

The finished layout of Brian's Bootstrap starter base: smelting, gear and green circuit production, belts, inserters and assembler production, plus the parts for a personal roboport and construction bots, all in about 68 by 69 tiles.

Place it directly if you already know the build order; otherwise use the four-phase book. Made for Factorio 2.0.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 68 × 69 tiles.
  • It works in the base game without Space Age.
  • It has 150 crafting machines, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
  • It is large: construction robots will place it much faster than building by hand.
  • It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
