A complete Vulcanus base built in stages: stage 1 and 2 get production going, stage 3 is the full base, and two upgrade pages swap in electromagnetic plants and better modules once you have them.
Jepakazol's notes: 6/3/2026, by Jepakazol Updates:
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 106 × 231 tiles for the largest blueprint in the book.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Foundry, Casting iron recipe, Casting copper cable recipe).
- It has 1396 crafting machines and 720 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.
