About this build

Tumi's complete Vulcanus build: everything needed for at least 120 science per minute of metallurgic, utility and production science on Vulcanus. 28 blueprints: casting iron and copper plates straight from molten metal, steel, carbon, plastic, green, red and blue circuits, tungsten plates and tungsten carbide, robot frames, low density structures, batteries, molten metal production, a 192 MW acid neutralisation power plant and the three science lines. The author warns that the book makes more of some resources than needed, so a bot network helps.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 77 × 37 tiles for the largest blueprint in the book.
  • You need the Space Age expansion (Foundry, Casting copper recipe, Casting iron recipe).
  • It has 468 crafting machines and 40 beacons, 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.
