The Wall of Gun

The simplest way to build a wall to keep the Biters out it to use a single wall with a double row of laser turrets behind it, but this method cannot be used while earning the Raining Bullets achievement, and tends to fail against the late game Giant Green Biters. My current save is an attempt to earn the Lazy Bastard, Raining Bullets, Logistic Network Embargo, and Steam All The Way achievements simultaneously; to do so, I needed to design a low maintenance, low power consumption, high output method of killing biters. While accomplishing this task, I designed the type of wall that President Trump only wishes he could build in his dreams. I call it, The Wall of Gun. The design utilizes three Stages of Death. Stage one uses a double row of walls (to prevent Bigger Biters from reaching over and attacking the gun turrets), and two rows of gun turrets supplied by an ammo belt and inserters. This is the base design, and a low-tech version is available for early game usage. Stage two uses a row of flamethrower turrets, supplied by a mostly underground pipeline. Stage three is a row of artillery turrets that deal with any nearby nests, and keep the area around your base clear of Biters. The Wall of Gun is designed in easy to use modules, with each component being a bit larger than one chunk. Each module includes a roboport and radar, to allow easy logistics and situational awareness, and comes with a version both with and without an added railway. Modules include a straight section, a corner section, an inverse corner section, an entrance gate section, and the all-important ammo port section. It is crucial that one does not forget to place at least one ammo section and connect a source of ammo and fuel. When utilized properly, the Wall of Gun can function indefinitely with little or no maintenance, and can even self repair if construction bots and logistics chests are used.

A little exaggerated, do not you think?

not really I'd say, factorio really has only 3 stages: expanding territory, reloading (both pretty boring at times) and OPEN FIRE.
when this base hits the open fire stage, they know backat earth where to find this dude

Guaranteed* to withstand your worst biter infestations, or your money back!**

So go start building your very own Wall of Death today!

*Guarantee is null and void if user forgets to install the ammo port module, the user fails to produce enough ammo to feed The Wall, or the user builds with a biter nest inside the perimeter.
**Since this blueprint book is being distributed for free, for no charge, at zero cost to you, you wont actually get anything back. For complaints, please join the line that begins just outside of the gun turret range and within the flamethrower turret range. We could use more live biter bait.
