I’m back after a pretty long break! You might remember my oil rig from a few months ago.

The factory turns 1800 iron ore, 750 limestone and 1000m3 of water into 20 heavy modular frames every minute.

The long building is 50 iron refineries, and the tower is most of the rest.

anyways, here are some more photos of the outside:

The refinery building is pretty funky as you can see:

There is also a battery storage unit, an antenna and some concrete refinieries:

Here are some photos of the inside of the main building:

I am especially proud of the load balancers in the back that turn the various amounts of iron on each conveyor into 6 full ones and one partway full one.

While the materials are acquired on-site, this site is still connected to the rail network I showed in the last post.

Anyways, I learned quite a bit from this project, especially that I should plan interior decor ahead of time, instead of winging it.

Here is the map of my world, the pictured factory is at the top:

Tell me what you think!

    I’d suggest looking at some building tips videos on Youtube. Builds look tons better when you align things properly, and there are some handy tools in Satisfactory like grid snapping and nudging that can help with getting everything just right.

      I really miss the days guides were text with images instead of YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. Blah blah typical Lemmy anticorporate views, but more importantly, I’d rather just read and have something I can CTRL+F instead of having to sit through a video. At least transcripts help with trying to skip to the part I need. And at least people who don’t handle reading so well have a format someone is guaranteed to have made a tutorial in. But as a reader I am saddened by watch a video being what everyone suggests now for tutorials. Especially because nowadays, sometimes there is only a video, no book or article.
