Titanium-Aluminum Foundry
Titanium-Aluminum Foundry
Author: Calen
Built for Update 3
vU3.1.0
Description
As the name indicates, this foundry is designed for the smelting of aluminum and titanium. The foundry consists of two stages: stage 1 is the aluminum foundry and stage 2 is the titanium foundry. While I have tested functionality, what I haven't yes tested is whether this is enough or too much throughput. Therefore, adjustments maybe be made in the future as I attempt to balance it against settlement requirements for aluminum and titanium alloy.
Note It is important to treat the steel made in this foundry as your favorite steel. Use it first, otherwise everything will back up if steel storage gets full.

^ Stage 1 is water positive, so steam is vented through a smokestack to compensate. Water input is needed to kickstart the water cycle though.

Paste it into the game: Blueprints → Import from string. The game fetches the blueprint itself, so the link is all you need.
On an older game build that doesn't take links? Copy the blueprint string instead:
The blueprint is just what I need. I'll test it out. Thanks. Now all I need is the blueprint for all the stuff behind it, like satellites, etc. :)
Hey Calen, I just registered an account to say thank you for all the hard the work you do! I completed update3 without your blueprints but it was a BIG MESS. Now I am in the process of building a trainbased factory with your blueprints and it's been a joy. They're so well made and the documentation is top notch, should have used them earlier hehe.
No output for Alumina? That´s unfortunate, you need that product for Sapphire Wafers for the Electronics IV process.
IMO you're making too much Titanium and not enough Aluminum.
I currently have a lvl 3 space station and I'm overproducing Titanium even after pausing 3/4 of the titanium processing while I'm barely producing enough Aluminum for my needs. Once I get to Asteroids I'll probably need a bit more titanium but I'll definitely need more alumimum as well.
Could you halve the titanium and do 50% more aluminum? And definitely add the Alumina output with balancer so I can prioritize it.
@Shinhan Your bottleneck is somewhere else, I tried his build and at station 4 I am still only using 3/4 of aluminium production and have full storage. Maybe you are making consumer electronics? That one eats aluminium a lot for what it does. Titanium is scaled based on the alloy mixer and it's only one in there.
