Finished the final building, finished the walkway/beltway, and wired everything up. This here Reinforced Iron Plate factory campus is complete, save for a final efficiency audit, after it's done priming.
Quite like how this walkway/beltway came out.
A few shots from inside the final building. I ended up just being plain and simple for the assembler layout. With the exception of needing to do a little cross-balancing of the two wire input lines. This is only the first factory to use assemblers, there'll be plenty of time to be more fancy in the future.
That's fucking sick! I'm still grinding coupons to unlock all the pretty things, so until then my factories are still just foundations and walls and random looking nonsense.
I just connected stators, motors, and automated wiring to my storage (+ buffer overflow for awesome sink) so I was thinking it's probably around time to start "decorating" my base.
It doesn't add any functionality but I like my stuff to look cohesive. Your transport belt looks like a mountain trail path, really cool.
I waited to actually start "proper" building until unlocking everything in Phase 2. I've heard others recommend waiting until Mk4 belts are available, so yeah, it sounds like you're taking a good approach. It does make it a somewhat annoying grind to go BACK and re-do all your early factories, and forego progress for so long, like I'm in the progress of doing.
