2.5k Megabase in a Book

This base was originally designed with 2 goals. One, to produce and consume 2.5k Science packs per minute consistently, without train locks or supply shortages. Two, to be capable of doubling. Goal one was fully achieved, goal two has not been tested.

I'll just make a quick note that this base runs at 60/60 on my Macbook pro, 2.5g I7 (except when i'm near the green circuit build)

While this base has run 50+ hours flat out at 2.5kpm I welcome any advice or errors found. Post anything you find below and I'll get the blueprints updated with any needed fixes. It is run without biters, and no military science is produced. I'm considering putting in a military science build just to complete out the base. If I do I'll update the book.

I have not included power or oil in the book simply because I am not happy enough with those builds to share them. Power is a personal choice in your base, I am using nuclear with many different builds of various sources. None of which I am completely happy with.

For Oil, I am using several builds capable of handling about 1kpm, then have them placed at the various oil fields. Again, I am not completely happy with the performance of them.

I'll continue to add more detail to this book, going through each blueprint as I have time. It may take several edits/sessions. Check back if the details on the build you are interested in has not been completed yet.

I just realized that I should note before you have to import it, that these are all built for a 3-8 train system except liquid which is 2-3.

• Engines
  • Basic 12 Beacon Design
  • Makes it's own Gears and Pipe.
  • Inputs are Steel and Iron
  • Max Rate Calc = 2419 per minute
• Logistic Science Packs (aka Green Science)
  • Basic 12 Beacon Design
  • Makes it's own Gears, Belt, and Inserters
  • Inputs are Iron and Green Chips
  • Max Rate Calc = 2576 Per Minute
• Labs
  • Basic 12 Beacon Design
  • It's a little....OCD triggering because it's based off another design that only ate about 1kpm. I just haven't felt the need to fix it. Feel free to improve.
• Automation Science Packs (aka Red Science)
  • Basic 12 Beacon Design
  • Makes it's own gears
  • Copper and Iron Inputs
  • As you can see it is only on one side of the rails, and can easily be doubled up (by design)
  • Max Rate Calc = 2553 Per Minute
• Chemical Science Packs (aka Blue Science)
  • Basic 12 Beacon Design
  • Inputs for Engines, Red circuits and Sulfur
