Anyway, after a bit of maths, that's theoretically anywhere from as little as 736,000 up to 14,720,000 items running through the intersection, per minute, stack size dependent.

I'm planning on using this as a corner section for my currently in-planning modules, an homage to the hub & spoke ...

Roger that. Certainly it's plenty I just thought you were saying it could keep growing, which would be a second awesome (cursed) trick.

Excellent. Question, though. I don't know how to grow tanks' inventory arbitrarily. Of course adding utility belts makes a pretty large inventory but the gear grid is finite.

Very nice!

Lasers are really not a good choice. Look at the resists.

The resistance isn't necessarily the end of the story. Shooting small asteroids with lasers works fine. Sure, it takes some laser tech to one-shot a small asteroid, but for a project like this it's reasonable to assume a fairly advanced ...

Nice. I'd say you've done quite well on Fulgora and 1K EM SPM is rather overkill for now. But then, one of the great things about Factorio is how different players can dig down into different overlapping challenges.

I live wherever I last wanted to relocate a huge pile of stored items. Even compared with lots of bots and spidertrons, one mech-suited engineer provides considerable throughput.

Very cool. It's even not super huge. Now I just have to make up some reason to use it in my game.

Thanks, I'm currently testing this setup,

Nice! I like the idea of using the same build on many islands. Especially the distributed rocket silo. And the rare quality buildings is a nice sweet spot. My hunch is you could fit 2 of these on most islands, depending on your map settings. I assume ...

I'm interested in seeing a multi-k spm fulgora setup.


Here's my Fulgora - 3600 EM science per minute.
It's neither pretty nor optimized, but it works.

Yeah I played ~500 hours of 1x but never really tried to participate in the online community. After a couple hundred hours in Space Age, and having had a good experience in the train intersection thread on this forum, I figured I'd look for the megabase group. But I guess it doesn't really exist ...

Yeah these are some of my questions.
Certainly I do "look at the ingame production statistics, filter for science pack, then look at the numbers shown". Of course there are multiple numbers and we want some kind of aggregate or summary. Yes, I'm doing about 3000 each and I think my build should ...
