Universal casting block: 480/s (any single molten metal product)
Universal casting block: 480/s (any single molten metal product) is a blueprint with 122 entities in a 27×16 tile area, mainly 3 × foundry and 2 × recycler. Its author gives 480 per second (about 8 turbo belts, or two turbo belts stacked 4 high). It needs Space Age. Copy the string and import it from the blueprint library.
- Turbo belts 50
- Pipes and fluids 23
- Inserters 16
- Beacons 15
- Circuits 11
- Furnaces 3
- Power poles 2
- Machines 2
About this build
Xeinaemm's note: You can craft anything that use only one molten metal.
A universal foundry block that casts anything made from a single molten metal, from Xeinaemm's Tileable Factories book. The rate is Xeinaemm's minimum with legendary machines and full productivity research, so expect less early on.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 27 × 16 tiles.
- You need the Space Age expansion (Turbo underground belt, Turbo transport belt, Stack inserter).
- It places legendary quality items: your logistic network must hold them at that quality before robots can build it.
- It has 5 crafting machines and 15 beacons, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
- It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
