Introduction

Builds Blueprint Book[pastebin.com]

Coming soon™

remaining science builds
belt based train loading/unloading
kovarex and uranium processing
some circuit designs

How I start a new build

make a prototype and find out the optimal machine speed
calculate how many machines are needed to achieve the desired output
calculate the speed again using the rounded number of machines
calculate the input

I mostly focus on making my builds as efficient as possible but also compact and good looking.

I don't like

using robots instead of belts
using long handed inserters
inserting directly into underground belts
belt weaving/braiding

Explanation:
I like the extra layer of complexity using belts and no long hand inserters(these are most of the time too slow for beaconed builds). Belt weaving/braiding doesn't make sense and it shouldn't work but I don't mind other people using it. You can achieve full belt compression by inserting into underground belts but it looks wired, I just use sideloading instead (where it's possible).

Utility mods I use in my test world

So uh, are those 'coming soon' bits actually coming soon or..?

Teoxoy [author] 11 Jun @ 4:10pm

Thanks! How are they wired?

13rice 7 Jun @ 12:46am

Nice guide ! Interesting to avoid the belt weaving.
I see on the green build that some green inserters are wired, what is the purpose ?

CoolguyRuler 17 Jan, 2023 @ 7:44pm

It's funny that none of these are compatible with Space Exploration + Krastorio 2.

On second thought, that might be a good thing

Teoxoy [author] 24 Jul, 2022 @ 3:49am

Haha, thank you all for the support! :)

I do still plan to add the other science builds. I've made some progress on them but I'm not yet done. Hopefully next time I play I'll finish them!

PH4TB33TZ 17 Jul, 2022 @ 2:07pm

Labor of love! This is why people love playing design games!

Byblos 10 Jul, 2022 @ 9:45pm

I absolutely love your builds and want to add my name to the list of people who anxiously await you releasing the other science builds! I've tried to build my own using some of your designs but I'm nowhere near as talented as you are!

Stabbity 10 Jul, 2022 @ 7:45am

Please keep going and finish this up! You're doing great!

I've been looking for designs that are in the "spirit" of the game, although that is subjective. I too dislike all the wonky nonsensical designs people created

Megadriel 7 Jul, 2022 @ 6:45pm

Do you plan to add the remaining science blueprints?

Teoxoy [author] 30 Jun, 2022 @ 7:38am

Haha, yeah. It's around 14.3MW for the plastic build. I might add the power consumption to all builds at some point.
