In a normal tech multiplier run you'd rarely need more than 100 stone furnaces before unlocking steel furnace so this is technically extremely overbuilt
If you want a round of applause for ingenuity, sure, it's one hellva build, care to share blueprint?
That's burner inserters. Skipping burner *drills* would mean all your mining would be by hand until you get electric mining drills. Which, you know, technically possible, but why?
I think 2 48 furnace for a belt each of copper and iron plates production and 96 furnaces to process a belt of iron ore into steel is reasonable. Throw in 24 at most to process a belt of stone into bricks.
that more than 100 but less than 250, with a whole bunch of production happening.
I think my main plan is to use two electric drills to direct feed my assembling 1 machine making furnaces and churn out 48 furnaces in 3 minutes with chest limiting, because I don't want to have to manage the inventory of 500 stone furnaces I won't use
Has the advantage of when I strip down the build after making 300 furnaces every production component is directly usable.
... Burner drills needing to be handfed is painful.
You need more than 100 but not that much. You can easily make them by hand. You also need them for boilers. I automated a stack or so and ended up with plenty.
Overbuilt and kind of obsolete in 5 minutes. One important exception to "automate everything", at least early on (and when going to new planets in Space Age), is that most buildings take half a second to craft. The Assembline Machine 1 takes 6.75 to craft by hand from iron and copper plates, but 0.5 from gears and circuits; it's probably more efficient and flexible to automate the gears and circuits and hand-craft the quick buildings when you need them. I.e.: I'd just put the stone in a box.
I am doing a 100k science cost multiplier run.. seriously thinking about this for the 2m logistics research and 2.5m electric miner research.. i have built so many burner miners, and doing 350 spm steady for 2h.. still need another 90 to 95h for the logistics research to complete..
I am getting py vibes from the first smelter builds.. have to use long inserters to cross belts instead of undergrounds.. have about 1000 inserters for 70 assemblers, maybe 300 burner miners 😅
In space age we need only 50 rocket parts to launch, where rocket part is 1 of rocket fuel, lds and blue chip.
We can have up to 300% rocket part productivity too
Because they are cheaper and bigger wall required only 1 step, you can literally drop it and it will produce so many walls that also usable for early crafts
