UA Compact Mall v0.7

Most space-efficient <s>mall</s> industrial hellscape in Factorio.

Every Vanilla item^{<a href="https://factorioprints.com/view/-LJ1yGYd0Rex-FPTqnnk#notes">*</a>} and then some built in only 4 chunks. Provided in separate blueprints so you can customize it for your game.

Based on the low-volume Universal Assembler (UA) blueprint. Max density (14 tiles per assembler) low cost (<img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Fast_inserter.png"/><img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Assembling_machine_2.png"/><img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Substation.png"/>) and modular customization.

Installation Instructions

Each mall blueprint plugs into the UA power & signal bus. Place the bus and a single controller block, then place modules overtop and all signals will be connected. UA production is controlled with two signals:

• <img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Green_wire.png"/> is an external input requesting production. Each module connects a constant combinator requesting raw materials and intermediate products to be produced and fed into the system. You can also add your own requests, either from manually-set constant combinators or more advanced circuits such as construction train stations.
• <img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Red_wire.png"/> is an internal indicator of unmet demand. It's the requested production minus logistics system inventory.

Here is an illustration of what that looks like.

For basic usage, feed raw materials and high-volume intermediates (<img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Iron_gear_wheel.png"/><img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Electronic_circuit.png"/>) from your main bus into passive provider on the edges of the mall. Low-volume intermediates (<img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Engine_unit.png"/><img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Electric_engine_unit.png"/><img src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Flying_robot_frame.png"/> <img alt="speed-module-3" src="https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Speed_module_3.png"/>) may be produced by the bootstrap blueprints at first, but should be moved to belted beacon-factories when demand rises.
