About this build

Foundries casting tungsten plates from tungsten ore and molten iron, close to one red belt of output. It has 588 buildings in a 62 by 31 tile area. It is part of Tumi's Vulcanus 120 SPM book.

Tumi's notes: 0.96 red belts. Add two more foundries for 1 full red belt. Takes nearly two blue belts of input.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 62 × 31 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Foundry, Tungsten plate recipe).
  • It has 48 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.
