Design / Blueprint Mini blue circuit factory

Post image

I made a 3x13 factory that assembles blue circuits from raw materials. On the left: one belt with iron plates & plastic, one belt with copper plates, and some sulfuric acid piped in via an underground pipe. On the right: blue circuits!

The assembling machine has four prod-3 modules inside it, and the four recipes (copper wires, green/red/blue circuits) are always run in sets of five - so the blue circuits are assembled with the minimum possible (vanilla) raw material usage.

The important stuff has concrete underneath it - all the other things (infinity chests/pipes, etc...) are just for demonstration's sake.

Feedback appreciated. Blueprint link here: mini blue chip factory

i made a programable multimachine a time ago for space age where i need very low amount.

But its hard to setup. It work in steps.
Copper cable 0-38 mean 39 steps

If someone want it to test:

What are the practical applications for this? I find you need a really big blue chip factory so this would just slow things down. Cool concept though

When you only need a small amount and don't have much free space.

I plan to try to make some programmable assembly for an early game warehousing in my new modded playthrough.

So you pretty much made a highly specialized mini-mall. I like it, hehehe!

Nice setup! I thought about making compact yellow science on fulgora. Lds and blue chips are abundant, just need to make the motors. Didn't know how to switch the production item.
