Description
Now working with Factorio 2.0! It's still a work in progress so check for the latest release on GitHub, read the documentation, and join Discord for discussion and help.
If you're still on Factorio 1.1, the original book is available on GitHub.
It some ways, this is the ultimate extension of my self-building rocket. This city-block design based on Brian's Trains truly builds itself. You lay down a "block" of rail, create a "construction station", lay down the desired blueprint, and turn it on.
The blueprint book contains "blocks" to build everything from coal-fired smelters to 10GW nuclear reactors to 360 science-per-minute rocket launchers.
See the full instructions for details.

Changelog
Differences in the last digit are just minor fixes to one or more blueprints. They can overlay existing layouts to fix problems.
Differences in the middle digit are new designs or design changes. They are fully compatible at the train stations with the larger city but likely can't be applied directly over an existing design.
Differences in the first digit are major changes an may be incompatible with blocks from earlier versions. See notes below.
Be sure to look through the instructions for highlighted regions that indicate some differences in how to use any new designs.
V5 blueprints are completely incompatible with all previous major versions. Don't even think about it.
