So in a more recent game I actually ended up tweaking the technique to include steam powered electricity. A train delivered the steam from my nuclear power plant down to the remote bases whenever any of them detected that they were getting low and the Steam Supply station turned on. This way all I n...

I am curious : How many stations can your supply train handle ? I guess, if you come to a limit, you will need additional trains. But how do you want to prevent the main depot sending too many trains at once to the same remote fort ? In my example, there's not a problem with too many stations, beca...

Actually, I kind of want to come up with a design for a much smaller self-assembling fort, that just takes ammo, oil and shells and doesn't need electricity at all. I guess it'll need a little bit to run the arms and the combinators and robo-ports. I wonder if i can get enough power for that with so...

currently experimenting with an automatic rail-building and solar fields.

How do you do automatic rail-building? With a mod?

The largest issue I had with it was I don't use some of the items you are delivering by default. Like cliff explosives. My map was started on older version, so it's all flat. Never made them, Had to change the combinator to make it stop bringing the train each time. How often do you have to use tho...

Can you post the blueprint strings in code blocks? I'm clicking on the button to copy the string, but nothing is going to my clipboard. Wow, thank you for letting me know! I didn't realize they were broken! I'd put an extra carriage return in the blueprint string and that broke it. Try it now! I fi...

Thanks! Yes thats a good summary of some of the main points. I am already using an artillery car to deliver the ammo. If the post implied otherwise i was trying to keep things simple. The idea of using a stationary Artillery Car instead of each individual Artillery Cannon is a pretty good idea! I wo...
