Hi everyone
As my next experiment in Factorio, I've started a "City block" map. For this, I'd need to design a "block" blueprint.
As far as I cannot find a perfect blueprint in https://factorioprints.com/ (I mean none that fits my needs / please me), I'm planning to build my own this week-end.
To be sure not to forget anything or get any good idea/advice, I need your help
I'm thinking to build a full book including
- The city block
- Station (1 IN in the left, 1 OUT in the right)
- Station (several station with train buffer)
- Maybe some "block content" like smelters, ...
Here are my brainstorm/plans for the "city block" print
- 4 lane trains (2+2, right hand drive)
- include power (Big power pole)
- include green/red signal
- 1 station in north for "player" (for at least a 5 length train)
My plan for the "1 station" print (Typical smelter block)
- 1 station in the left of the block for input
- 1 station in the right of the block for output
- If possible, be able to deal with 1+2 and 2+4 trains
My plan for the "Multi station" print is inspired by this print :

Here are some question that you guys can help me with :
- What size should I get (let's measure in terms of Big Poles) ?
This one (https://factorioprints.com/view/-L9bDtkW50sweOHKYsAG) is 11 Poles and It looks really big (and so difficult to place and too much place inside)
This one (https://factorioprints.com/view/-L7CZPfA3qj9a26pI7EA) is 7. It looks more interesting in term of size. What do you think about ?
- What do I have to take care about and I didn't speak about in this presentation ?
- Shall I include Roboport in the blue print ? Or in a sub-version of the blueprint ?
PS : I plan to build "vanilla compatible" and share it on https://factorioprints.com so that any one can use it.
Help designing the perfect city block blueprint
