Goal
Consume 30k/min science packs in laboratories. Infinity chests on the red concrete will create the science packs and they have to be consumed in labs outside of the hazard and red concrete. Achieve this while keeping UPS as high as possible!Labs can be built to consume both military (gray) and production (purple) science or only one of the two. Because of this, the contest is split into designs for 6 science types (red, green, blue, yellow, white, purple OR gray) and designs for 7 science types (red, green, blue, yellow, white, purple AND gray). Submissions for 7 science types will be benchmarked twice, once with production (purple) research, once with military (gray) research. The leaderboard score will be the average of both scores. You only need to submit the save once, I will take care of opening up the save file and change the active research.

Rules
- Only use entities available in freeplay, except for: Electric energy interface, infinity chests for creating the science packs (these may only be placed on the red concrete) and infinity chests for train fuel. Loaders are not allowed
- Don't place any entities from the production tab on hazard concrete or red concrete
- Don't change the resources or tiles of the map. You may duplicate cells if you need additional space (in any direction)
- Don't change technology levels
- You may use the editor and mods to construct the factory, but saves must be submitted without mods
Technology
Mining productivity 180 (100% + 1800% = 1900%)Worker Robot speed 16 (100% + 955% = 1055%)
Artillery shell range 14 (High cost for researching with military science)
Contest
The contest is open until 2022-11-19 23:59:59 UTC.Submit factories by replying to this post or the reddit post with a world download. Make sure your factory is stable and consumes the input specified above for at least an hour of game time. Please include a few screenshots in your reply to allow others to take a look at your factory without having to open up the save. If you want to, explain the techniques you used and the challenges you overcame.
You may submit multiple factories by giving them different titles. Feel free to submit improved versions of previous submissions.
