About this build
Tumi's city block rail system for right-hand drive and 1-4-1 trains. There are no four-way intersections, only T junctions: place two city block endcaps, then connect them with the straight rail pieces, which already include roboports, substations, signals and decoration. 17 blueprints, with item and fluid loading and unloading stations, the trains, an example block and a bot mall block. The author says it started from a city-brick design found online and was reworked from there.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 382 × 118 tiles for the largest blueprint in the book.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Rail ramp, Elevated straight rail, Elevated curved rail a).
- It places rare and legendary 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.

Facts
| Type | Blueprint book (17 blueprints) |
|---|---|
| Game version | 2.0.73 |
| Space Age | Required (Rail ramp, Elevated straight rail, Elevated curved rail a, Rail support, Elevated curved rail b, Foundry, Electromagnetic plant, Casting copper recipe, Casting iron stick recipe, Casting iron recipe, Casting iron gear wheel recipe, Casting copper cable recipe, Casting steel recipe, Cryogenic plant, Tesla turret, Quality) |
| Quality | rare, legendary |
| Size | 382 × 118 tiles (largest blueprint) |
| Entities | 8,969 |
| Checked | Passed an automated check against Factorio 2.1 game data. The checker flagged elevated rails crossing rail ramps and rail signals next to curved rails; elevated rails sit on their own layer, so the game allows both. |
