This blueprint book contains builds for producing science at 1 pack per second. There are 8 blueprints.
- Science Pack 1
- Science Pack 1 and 2 (reuses the Science Pack 1 build and can be overlaid)
- Science Pack 3 (using Assembly Machine 3)
- Military Science Pack
- Production Science Pack (using Assembly Machine 3)
- High Tech Science Pack
- Science Pack 3 (without Assembly Machine 3)
- Production Science Pack (without Assembly Machine 3)
The first 6 builds have been designed so that:
- no bots are required, these are builds designed to pull the resources from a main bus
- the fastest belt required is yellow, apart from 3 red underground belts on one build (because of the extra underground distance)
- there is no 'bloat', so ingredients don't get backed up on belts unless it is impossible to avoid
- wherever possible
- the height of the builds above the bus is as small as I could make it, with heights as close to being even as I could design
- no modules are used
- half belts are used from the 'bus' wherever possible
Generally, technology is not used that isn't available when you want to build it (For example, the Science Pack 1, 2 and Military Science builds don't use Assembly Machine 3, which requires oil to build them). However, to meet my desire to make every build have a similar height, I did use Assembly Machine 3 in the Science Pack 3 and Production Science builds. To be able to deploy these builds, you need to have researched Automation 3, but to research Automation 3, you need to produce Science Pack 3 and Production Science packs. Therefore, I've also included builds for Science Pack 3 and Production Science which produce 1 pack per second, but use more machines and are thus higher/longer.
Notes:
- Updated 15-Apr-2017 to fix bug with the Science Pack 1 builds (an inserter was missing) and to add Production Science and Science Pack 3 builds that don't use Assembly Machine 3. These can be used temporarily to research Automation 3, which unlocks Assembly Machine 3.
- The blueprints include parts from the Creative Mode mod, to simulate the bus. The blueprints can be used in a vanilla game, and these parts will be removed.
- The screenshot includes concrete to make it easier to see. The concrete is not part of the blueprints.
- The screenshot includes only the first 6 blueprints.
