Nice Job, I really like your Blueprints, this one but also the others. Keep it up.

Any chance of getting a final stage complete blueprint? I keep messing up the Copper/Iron/Steel upgrade to Arc Furnace 2

Calen · 2 years ago

@PiggyWhiskey - So... as it turns out, when I changed the piping for the large cooling tower above the gold foundry, I did not update the arc furnace II steam piping for the glass furnaces. Perhaps that was your issue? This has now been fixed. However, if you were still having difficulties (understandable since it's a complicated upgrade), I have added images here: https://imgur.com/a/yX0XgXR.

Lastly, I did update this blueprint with a completed build.

Given how much sulfur this produces because of the exhaust scrubbers plus how much acid it needs its a shame there's not a couple of mixers built in to internalize the production of it.

Here is an upgrade to solve that: https://hub.coigame.com/Blueprint/Detail/423

Feel free to do whatever with it.

@KT9Q - Good idea! I hadn't thought about that. I think the reason I hadn't is because I build an entire conveyor network for sulfur on my island. So in my games I'm not wasting it, I'm just shipping it elsewhere for processing into acid. But I really like the idea of processing it on site. I'll need another ingress water pipe for the water needed for mixers. I could use the former acid ingress pipe, although I may still need that if sulfur production doesn't meet acid needs. I'll bet there are scenarios where it doesn't. Also, where do I put the mixers? Your blueprint works for pre 2.2 builds, but after 2.2 the recycling module is in the way. I will ponder. Thanks again for the good idea.

Hey, love the Blueprint works amazingly - Found a single pipe missing on the steam/Cooling tower lines between the exhaust scrubbers and cooling towers. Took me an hour to figure out why everything was full of steam and cooling towers weren't working lol

Calen · 2 years ago

@Djinsomnia - I'm not seeing this problem. It could have been a misplacement or small unevenness of the ground, both of which have happened to me.

@Calen: Question for you.

It looks to me like the MH outputs for the Foundry don't match up with the transports/inputs for the MH. What am I missing?

Thanks! Love your blueprints - excellent work.

CaptainOfChaos · 2 years ago

I ran into the same issue as Djinsomnia with the missing pipe, fwiw it only concerns the complete build, not if you build it in steps. The low steam pipe inputs are going into a balancer near the 4 cooling towers and there is a single piece of pipe missing for the output to the cooling towers. No biggie but easy to miss. Thanks for all the blueprints Calen and big compliments for the layouts and clear instructions! <3

If this is meant to plug into your manufacturing hub, where is the carbon dioxide and slag meant to go? The pipes in the egress blueprints for these lines are not the same as the ones for the manufacturing hub and its transport belts. The manufacturing hubs lines are flat transports on those sections.

Impossible to copy the link.. :/

обновите до новой версии! (чертеж не работает, нельзя построить)

Calen · 1 year ago

@Persox & @Степан - I just tested copying the blueprint, pasting it into COI, and building it. Everything seems fine to me.

I went to use this BP, and realized that the Ingress transport doesn't mach up to the ingress ports for theGraphite, and Coal storage boxes. The belt that is there is a flat belt and not a u-shape belt, plus the two graphite belts are U-shape belts, and not flat belts.

good stuff, im surprised it didn't have ore crusher at the very beginning

Calen · 1 year ago

@MaddTrker - The ingress transport works fine for me. Remember there are belts & pipes for modules not yet installed at the beginning. You can anchor via the water pipe, which is the 3 transport from the right (or left if you flipped the foundry & ingress transport).

Calen · 1 year ago

@zack12027 - I have those as separate blueprints (in the Peripherals subfolder) so you can place them wherever you want. I usually place them near the relevant mines or depots.
