About this build
A belt-based steel smelting array that turns iron ore into steel in one site: 768 steel furnaces, fed by 2-4-2 trains, with a 1-2-1 fuel train. It has 7,097 buildings in a 228 by 104 tile area. Built for left-hand drive.
HySpeed's notes: Belt based 2-4-2 smelting array for Steel from Ore Requires a 1-2-1 train to bring fuel. Should be paired with stackers for ore and plate. Tilable. Ore from one side, fuel and plate on other side. Roboports are for building only, remove when complete.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 228 × 104 tiles.
- It works in the base game without Space Age.
- It has 768 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 uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
