About this build
A starter base that you build in four phases, dropping each new blueprint directly over the last. Phase 1 is a burner setup fed by hand; phase 2 adds the first lab and assemblers; phases 3 and 4 add smelting, gears, green circuits, inserters, belts and the parts for a personal roboport and construction bots.
Updated for Factorio 2.0. The author notes that research has to be queued by hand and that you can skip straight to phase 4 once you know the layout.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 68 × 69 tiles for the largest blueprint in the book.
- It works in the base game without Space Age.
- It has 225 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.
