Transport System

Discussion of the blueprint Transport System.

Calen · 2 years ago

Change Log v1.0.2 - Updated Multi-Mine Transport - Ascent to be more modular. v1.0.1 - Updated Multi-Mine Transport - Descent to be more modular - it now includes a top, a step, and a bottom. I still need to do the same for ascent. v1.0.0 - Original design

Would it be easier to create a central transport system hub where all of your different egress and ingress blueprints have designated connection points? I feel that doing so would make it easier to link up each of your different production blueprints without struggling to figure out which belt from one blueprint connects to which belt from another blueprint. I think this would also allow us to insert our own connections for the blueprints that are part of the DIY transports. Especially for those of us who aren’t as good at setting up transport systems

I agree, I think it would be great if is blueprint set contained plans for merging 'lesser' belts sets (like the early foundry) to the manufacturing hub.

What would really be useful is blueprints for connectors between the different existing blueprint. For instance a T junction to enable the outputs from the early refinery or unified foundry bus to feed into the manufacturing hub bus. Likewise T junction to take products off the manufacturing hub bus to feed into the waste facility bus, Its almost impossible to work out what belt is for what on the manufacturing hub bus as they are so tightly packed (not a bad thing) , but one mistake and you have the wrong product on a conveyor jamming up the whole system, which means stopping machines to enable you to to quick remove that product if you actually have enough Unity to do it. Sadly my one mistake, resulted in about 100 workers going to the pearly gates by the time I realised what was going on, and yes I didnt have enough unity to do a quick remove. You have put together a fantastic set of blueprints for all the different factories, its joining them all together thar can create problems or an unholy pile off spaghetti

After getting confused with the connections, I mapped the Transport Blueprints from each individual Calen BP. I also mapped the Inputs/Outputs from the other BPs without the specific transport BP.

@Calen feel free to use the images however you see fit.
