About this build

A tungsten plate factory for Vulcanus, 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 156 buildings in a 51 by 15 tile area.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 51 × 15 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Turbo underground belt, Turbo transport belt, Stack inserter).
  • It places legendary quality items: your logistic network must hold them at that quality before robots can build it.
  • It has 7 crafting machines and 44 beacons, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
  • It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
