Jepakazol's notes: v1.0, 27/2/2026 by Jepakazol

Changes on this site: the author's editor-only test entities (infinity chests and pipes, energy interfaces, loaders) were removed, so connect real inputs and power where they were.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 52 × 16 tiles for the largest blueprint in the book.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Foundry, Casting iron recipe, Casting steel recipe).
  • It has 38 crafting machines and 5 beacons, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
  • It includes roboports, so it can extend your logistic network and let robots build the rest.
  • It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
  • Editor-only test inputs were removed: connect real inputs where the author had test sources.
