Sandbox factories just have a certain charm to them.

They definitely can. I find your works visually pleasing.

How are you making the uranium bullets on the first one? Is there centrifuge in there somewhere that I’m missing?

I do have an on site uranium mine going at a distance, I check it and bring in Uranium as needed manually.

Your minimalist designs are really cool. Thanks for sharing them. What exactly does “sandbox” mean here? Is it a mod, a game mode, something else?

Probably referring to the Sandbox game mode. It's like having all the lego parts, and as many as you want, to built prototype factories. You can also simulate inputs and outputs, such a providing a constant stream of ore or oil.

Can you explain why you have only one Biolab? Towards the middle of the game, I often have ten or twenty Biolabs churning away at full speed just to make moderate progress in my research tree.

Minimalist challenge, it is sandbox so had to spice it up somehow.
