Description
This is an enhanced and improved version of Nilaus' Base-In-A-Book.
This is only compatible with the 2.0 update, this is NOT compatible with the Space Age expansion DLC.
As I was playing with Nilaus' Base-In-A-Book, I came to the conclusion that it could use some more optimization. I redesigned his city blocks with better/more throughput in mind. This has caused the base to grow in size. The biggest change is made to the mall, from being 1 block wide to 2 blocks wide. The base still could use more improvements but I'm satisfied with the results.
It might be useful to prioritize the locations of block 'Oil Unload Station' (x3,y-2) and block 'Coal Unload Station' (x3,y-3), as these 2 blocks have water input. The 4 nuclear power blocks: (x-2,y7), (x-1,y7), (x1,y7) & (x2,y7) also require water, but it might be easier to direct water to these blocks than the aforementioned 2 blocks. All 6 blocks do have alternatives found in the Alternatives blueprint book, these alternative blocks have their water supplied by train.
A circuit network has been set up at the train stations of the main base and of the mining posts. By default it has been turned off, as train limits has been set manually at the stations.
This blueprint book contains the following:
Main Base
City blocks with coordinates provided in their names, for a fixed layout.
Foundation
This blueprint book consists of blocks to use as foundation for the main base. The roboport block uses big electric poles, in most cases you need to remove them as a lot of main base blocks use different poles or have them positioned differently. In some cases you also need to remove the roboports, as there are few main base blocks that have them at a different position.
Just take note that robotports and poles from the Main Base blueprint book take priority over the ones in the Foundation blueprint book.
Railway
Rail segments for connecting your main base with mining facilities and outposts. The first row consists only of rails. The second row adds big electric poles, to transfer power from your main base to the mining posts. The third row adds laser turrets and walls, to defend your rail network. The fourth row includes roboports.
Energy
A blueprint book with solar panel blocks. Nuclear energy blocks are already included in the Main Base blueprint book.
Defense
A blueprint book that provides a defensive wall for the main base. It includes a blueprint for an artillery outpost.
Mining
A book that holds mining outposts.
Alternatives
Contains alternatives blocks, allowing water to be provided by train. These include, the nuclear power blocks: (x-2,y7), (x-1,y7), (x1,y7), (x2,y7), 'Oil Unload Station' (x3,y-2) and 'Coal Unload Station' (x3,y-3).
Trains
Preset trains with schedules. In case you need extra trains for mining or supplying.
