About this build

A bot-fed mall that fills one block of Tumi's city block rail system: assemblers make buildings from materials delivered by robots, and the result goes to storage for building with bots. The author made it for Vulcanus but notes it works on Nauvis too. It has 3,363 buildings in a 382 by 100 tile area.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 382 × 100 tiles.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Rail ramp, Elevated straight rail, Elevated curved rail a).
  • It places legendary and rare quality items: your logistic network must hold them at that quality before robots can build it.
  • It has 132 crafting machines, 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 has turrets: keep them supplied with ammunition or power.
