Early Foundry

Are there instructions on how to connect the individual blueprints?

Great blueprint, using it extensively.

But why not put some low pressure turbines to use the low pres steam from scrubbers for some free power instead of running it straight to a cooling tower?

@Emrys - In the description, in the list of stages is an Imgur URL which shows installation pictures. Let me know if these don't help.

@aadje93 - That's not a bad idea. My only issue is that I dislike intermittent power because I can't plan around it, yet would appear as part of the total available power. I'll think on it.

@Calen: Thanks for the tip. But I mean instructions on how to connect the individual blueprints. For example Manufacturing Hub with F&D whit Farm with Oil Refinery ......

I had been using JDPlays blueprints.

Calen's blueprints are more efficient, more compact and optimised for COI Update 2.

Quite simply, they are the best blueprints available.

Well done Calen, I use several of your Blueprints and enjoy the detail and thoughtfullness of the layouts. Thank you for the effort and sharing!

I love the BP, it's so compact, you can put it almost anywhere you want. Though I do have a question, Any chance you can revise the bp to add the water pipe for the steel portion of the bp connect to the existing water pipe for copper? I have made the edit myself but as I have only gotten to the steel part I'm not sure if the water pipe for steel will infere with the rest of the BP.

@MaddTrker - Thanks! The reason I kept them as separate inputs is because, eventually, the water storage on the copper side gets converted to acid.

Is this just a problem for me? Pay attention to the output port. https://imgur.com/a/WsKhQPc

P.S.

Sorry. I understand. I learned that when you rotate the game 180 degrees, it doesn't rotate point-symmetrically.

I thought that was a pretty unusual feature.

Ingress Transport is missing. :(

Between Stage 5 and 6, you forgot to mention allow acid process for copper, I realized when I ran out of copper

Any way to get the T2 smelter and stuff upgrades into here or some similar BP? Like getting crushed ore and smelting that, or am I at the stage to start the Unified Foundry?

@MistahWhirlWide - I have it between stages 3 and 4.

@wickys - Yes, switch to the Unified Foundry. However, I have thought about adding such a blueprint. I was thinking of building an all-in-one space center and having a smaller T2 foundry as part of it. An ore-to-space concept if you will. We'll see.

@Calen: Your Glasmixer has the wrong Liquit Input, you need Acit not Water. (Early Foundry - Complete Build) Update 3.

Yes, wrong copper production pipe. water mixed with acid

I just want to make a note, because it's not mentioned anywhere. But you can upgrade all of the Iron and Steel blast furnaces along with the Oxygen and Casters to tier 2 to double your throughput, you just have to attach a U-shape lift for the Limestone which is conveniently placed above the coal belt. You can kind of do the same with the copper, you just have to create your own sand belt and make space for the extra copper electrolysis, but it's not that difficult. Upgrading everything is very convenient if you haven't cleared enough space for a bigger foundry.

@MaddTrker, @FoxGaminG, and @Vedmedkin - Thanks. Fixed!

@lifetap - That's great!
