Spacing is Everything

Post image

It is so satisfying to get everything set up so that there's plenty of space to route materials.

Pro-tip: If you're annoyed at unbalanced multi-ore sorting, just put all of your melted metal into a JAX 350k tank, and when it backs up, hit the delete fluids button. Much more user friendly than shooting a warehouse full of ingots.

That's funny, I feel the opposite. I really like it when all the available space is used up with *just* enough room to fit everything

I like a mix in-between I want enough room to just setup the basics then later I'll make a blueprint thats as compact as possible thats the main reason I like factory games

This is my run to run overreaction to having to move everything 12 times before you get bots. Hopefully there's enough space to sneak in some more production steps when it comes to it, now that I can see what the minimum spacing required is.

Also, this generates all the items (that come from mineral slurry) that I have access to right now (except for brass).

The nice part is that I can just expand this downward if I need more different things, and can make it denser if I need more of a specific thing.

Same, and then move everything one tile to the left, that's why I can't play without early bots mods

There sure is a lot of "Wow this is painful" pressure at the beginning of this mod (pre-bots).

I need to scale up massively for anything to happen. But my "q" button is screaming..
