About this build
Foundries turning lava and calcite into molten iron and molten copper, the start of almost every Vulcanus base. A parameter chooses which metal it makes. It has 1,096 buildings in a 77 by 37 tile area. It is part of Tumi's Vulcanus 120 SPM book.
Tumi's notes: 2 inner belts are for Calcite, the outer belts output Stone. Parameter chooses Copper or Iron. Need one of each for 120SPM. Outputs 5.625 red belts of stone!
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 77 × 37 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Foundry).
- It has 30 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.
- It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.

Facts
| Type | Blueprint |
|---|---|
| Game version | 2.0.73 |
| Space Age | Required (Foundry) |
| Size | 77 × 37 tiles |
| Entities | 1,096 |
| Power | About 78 MW with all 30 machines working. Modules are included; inserters, belts, lamps and robot charging are not. |
| Checked | Passed an automated check against Factorio 2.1 game data. The foundries use a blueprint parameter as their recipe (you pick the metal when you place it), which the checker cannot resolve. |
Numbers behind builds like this: Vulcanus casting ratio: foundries for molten iron and plates · furnaces per belt: 48 stone or 24 steel furnaces per yellow belt · mining drills per belt: 30 electric drills fill a yellow belt
