Lubricant for express transport belt and electric engine units for the utility science pack.

Some people like to have fluids part of their bus which could include:

This is an ingredient needed for the chemical science pack.Įach of these items would get a dedicated line of belts from which one would draw from if there is a need for the item. Needed for production science packs and for stone bricks. Plastic bars (sometimes replaced by coal from which plastic is produced).You will need many of these to handle advanced circuit and processing unit production later on. Iron gear wheels are seen on some buses as they take up half as much room than iron plates and see usage in a lot of recipes.You need about as much copper overall as iron. Several belts of iron plates, usually a multiple of four as that is the length one underground belt can pass under.Here are some things people have put on their bus in the past: Some items are a good candidate to be built 'on-site' meaning not carried by the bus but rather made where they are needed.Ī good example of this are copper cables as they consume more space on a belt than in the form of copper plates. What items one puts on a bus is a personal preference. The orientation of and how wide the players monitor is also plays a role in this decision.Ī corner is not unheard of but very unusual and is often only necessary when a lake appears that is not planned for. The direction of a bus, being horizontal or vertical depends on personal preference and how one likes to work on the production that splits off it, which can almost always be expanded for greater use later on. This can be done to reserve room for later expansion, blueprint-ghosts are a good usage for that as they don't allow the belt to be filled with non-usable items. This is especially deceiving when the item isn't moving and all belts have filled up as these belts can't carry the amount they lead one to believe they can. When one doesn't have enough production to saturate a belt (or splits it into more) then this can be called a 'fake'-bus as it can not be saturated. Whether one uses a bus is often decided before starting a map or when first building an array of furnaces.Ī bus often starts at the smelting of iron, copper and steel, and then over time and distance gains more and more different items. This is also a downside as there are more belts used and therefore more room for belt-buffer and everything is less compact.

This is a good measure to combat 'spaghetti factories' as it forces someone to plan a structured layout and move everything to use items from the bus. The concept of a Main Bus is to put the most used and useful ingredients in a central spot to use for assembling machines. Perhaps in the next version I'll try to incorporate the 1.1 rail changes.The main bus in use with several different items and some production I tried linking the book, but it was significantly larger than the character limit.įor supplying each of the factories, the trains are RHD powered by the LTN mod. Most will be throughput limited to an output of 4 blue belts, but others were limited by available space for production or input materials (limited to 4 blue belts of input). I've included the production rates of each 3x3 in the info, as well as the power consumption.

The rail bundle I pulled directly from factorio school, and I'd like to give credit to the original creator, but cant find their info (feel free to link it in this thread!)įor the full description, please take a look at the Factorio Prints link. I've also attached the rail blueprint I typically use. Each stamp structure should fit within the warning box for the concrete, and the outlines are stampable. I'd love any feedback on it.Īll structures have the 3x3 chunk outlines to provide roboport support. I've drawn inspiration from some of the prints available on factorioschool/factorioprints, but for the most part these are my own creations. Here is my first pass at creating 3x3 chunk factories.
