Description
Hi everyone! I am relatively new to designing large-scale mega-bases, but I've put a lot of work into optimizing this factory on Vulcanus, and I'm really excited to share it with the community!
This is a comprehensive, high-throughput production hub tailored for the volcanic environments of Vulcanus (Space Age Expansion). It takes raw local resources and completely automates late-game Metallurgical Science alongside full Turbo Logistics belt production, infrastructure, and terraforming tools.
📥 Required Inputs (Per Second) To keep this factory running at 100% efficiency, you will need to feed it the following massive streams of resources:
🔴 Lava: 19,000 / sec (Directly from nearby lava lakes)
🟢 Sulfuric Acid: 10,000 / sec
🪵 Coal: 690 / sec (~15.3 Blue Belts or ~4.6 Turbo Belts)
🪨 Tungsten Ore: 420 / sec (~9.3 Blue Belts or ~2.8 Turbo Belts)
⚪ Calcite: 180 / sec (~4 Blue Belts or ~1.2 Turbo Belts)
📊 Guaranteed Outputs (Per Second) Once fully saturated, the hub continuously outputs:
🧪 Metallurgical Science Packs: 30 / sec (Half a Turbo Belt)
🚀 Turbo Transport Belts: 5 / sec
🚇 Turbo Underground Belts: 2 / sec
🔀 Turbo Splitters: 1 / sec
🏗️ Foundries: 1.32 / sec
⛏️ Big Mining Drills: 0.44 / sec
🧨 Cliff Explosives: 1 / sec (Essential for clearing out Vulcanus terrain)
⚙️ Features & Design Notes First Big Project: Designed with scale in mind. It handles massive fluid inputs (Lava and Acid) and heavily utilizes late-game recipes.
Any feedback, optimization tips, or comments from veteran players are highly appreciated! Enjoy!
