Alright, time to move on to the upper floors. Which means tearing down all of these earlier work, since I’ve already had to dismantle several portions of it, after adjusting the positioning of the Diluted Packaged Fuel loops, cutting into the foundations I had laid out on the first pass.

The layout I ended up with is roughly the same as it was before, but this time with actual belting, and shifted around a little to match the final foundation locations. I went ahead and marked out this screenshot with the logistics, cause it was pretty tricky to get right, and I’m SUPER happy with it. This here is 3 banks of Wire, consuming 2 lines of Copper Ingot from the 2 Refinery banks below. It’s such a perfect fit for 38 Constructors, with the 2 little extra ones on the wings up top, that I have a hard time believing I didn’t plan it that way from the start.

Similar deal on the opposite side of the building, with 2 banks of Constructors making Steel Pipe from 2 lines of Steel Ingot, which I was able to fit in right next to the Constructors.

With those in place, I went ahead and routed in the Copper Ingot, Iron Ore, and Petroleum Coke for all those machines.

So, it was tight before to fit in 2 floors worth of Assemblers for making Motors from this stuff, and with even LESS space now, that concept definitely had to get reworked. I ended up putting just the 8 Assemblers for Motors on the same floor as all the Constructors, and built a second mini-floor for two giant banks of Assemblers, for Rotors and Stators. Gotta love the symmetry of using the Steel Rotor recipe that takes identical ingredients as Stators, and produces them at the exact same rate.

Again, I’m happy with the logistics work here, with 3 lines of Wire and 2 lines of Steel Pipe to route evenly among the machines. You can kiiiind of see it in the first screenshot here, but it’s unfortunately quite dark. I dunno, maybe I should have used one of the filters? The other logistics to feed the Motor Assemblers is much easier to see in the second one.

I realized after building all this that I prooooooobably am gonna need to raise the mini-floor up by like 2-4 meters, because I eventually want to put catwalks all around these machines, to match other Project Assembly factories I’ve done. But I’m gonna leave it for now. When the time comes, I’ll probably just save-edit that part.

Also went ahead and blueprinted-out the resource trunk, as I no longer have anything that needs to change about it, up to the point of factory entrance.
