Unified Foundry

this is not bad but can you make a version where first stages are separate for early game ? im saying about main complex this is huge but given time we can start early and upgrade it or start building it

@halcyforn - I actually have a smaller version for the early game called Early Foundry.

@Calen you didnt understand this one is ok but i ask if you can just split first part with basic iron, copper steel, glass, for people who dont want build first early but want start build this one on start.

@halcyforn Again, that's what the other blueprint is for. You're not supposed to start with this blueprint you're supposed to start with the early foundry blueprint. That one is meant for early game, this one is not.

Something great about this design is it fits at the bottom of the Armageddon crater. So if you build a path to the bottom and ramps up to the sides you can just build stackers that dumps all excess raw ore over the sides of the crater and have it collect to store at the bottom. Then you can just have a couple of excavators at the bottom extract from the piles based on what resources you need most.

@5h4dow - That's awesome! Send me a screenshot on Discord sometime.

"MaddTrker 3 months ago 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."

"Calen 2 months 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)."

My current issue is that the ingress for the coal line is a flat conveyer not a u-shaped one. I did drop the Completed BP and that is working great, your BP's are top notch friend. Any chance of getting a picture of the back end hookups on the finished build?

@HopsterCitrine - Thanks! I'm glad you like my blueprints! So here's what happened... The Ingress transport blueprint was designed for the stage 1. However, in stage 7, the Graphite and Coal storage switch places. That's why the completed build and the ingress transport don't work perfectly together. So I created a new blueprint called, Foundry Ingress Transport - Completed Build.

Loving the Blueprints, Calen. Will this and the MH be updated for Update 3? As well as farm and Food & drug? I am loving the new, smaller ones for early game, but afraid to start with these if the updated ones come in a day or two. (Don't make me try to figure out this stuff on my own!! lol) I am not sure what else changed, recipe-wise, beyond the loss of bricks. Also, have you considered adding Concrete and paper to this BP? I have made my own add-on BP to tack on the the side of this one with those two added, although I expect I will have to do it again after this is updated. Again, Best blueprints on here, Cheers.

@Stagler76 - The UF U3 build is ready now! I don't have a date for the rest yet, but I am working on them. I have concrete in a separate blueprint. I considered adding it several times to the Unified Foundry, but ultimately decided against it.

Not sure if acid makes it to the gold.

No, he forgot the connection to acid storages with atep 4, pls fix.

@Hail @Kozrek - The connection is there, you must have misplaced the gold blueprint as it works fine on mine.

On the note of gold however between the 1st two and last 4 gold smelters one of the belts is facing the incorrect way from the settling tanks. Not a huge issue just a case of changing the direction but just in case someone else notices it.

Again Thank you for all your hard work on the BP's Calen they are amazing and my game would look trash without them xD

Am I stupid? How is this ingress supposed to connect? https://imgur.com/a/CbutxAo

@Djinsomnia - Fixed! Thanks!

@wickys - It doesn't anymore. I need to update all transport blueprints, but wanted to wait until I figured out trains. But getting all of these blueprints up-to-date has taken precedence over that.

@Calen theres missing an aluminium scrap bucket/sorter for the recycling center bit. Looks great tho other than that so far. maybe in the future, add the Co2 > graphite and also somewhere to bin off the wastewater from gold smelting, unless thats part of one of your other blueprints and i just havent put it down in my game

iam keeping the old ingress/egress, so thanks for the underpass options. kinda like that the old ones are not too high. makes connecting things overpass easier.

Would you be able to add aluminum processing to this? also acid, you could put acid on the opposite side of the recycling next to the silicon, that's where I put it in mine. rerouted the sulfur to be the input for it.

i just realized that all the arc furnances are emitting steam low. wouldn it be good to integrate a small power plant to utilize it before reclaiming the water?
