Progress on the steel factory, tonight.

First step was the foundry wing, making Iron Alloy Ingot and Solid Steel Ingot. With some trickery to avoid needing to balance the intermediate Iron Ingot product across 3 belts, before sending it to Steel and Iron Pipe.

Moving on to the Concrete wing…

Much simpler, but still a little tricky in that I’m building around one miner, providing half of the limestone, and the other half will be shipped in from outside the facility.

I’m also not sure if I’ll be keeping the holes in the roof for the Miners. Or maybe just decorating them, somehow. I think they’re too plain, at the moment.

    That is the exact same footprint as my steel factory, yours just has walls. Mine’s a mostly floating stack of floors. I have to bring in concrete from quite a ways away, due to using pipe, beam, and heavy frame alt recipes that all consume a lot of it.
