Hi,
Long time lurker, first post
I have been working on this for a while now and its at a point where I would like to share it. It's designed to be attached to a main bus and hopefully should see to all your base defence needs from main walls to outposts. Its modular and its in a blueprint book and hopefully should have everything you need.
The main factory just needs to be hooked up to your bus using the connections and it will start to build everything it needs, it has trains in the BP with the orders and these just need setting to automatic.
It has a trash system to deal with trees etc whilst building and anything else that enters the logi network at the walls, you can also use this to recycle wall components if your tearing one down somewhere (a depleted outpost for example) and at the factory it will reuse the components in future construction. If the factory storage is very nearly full it will push it all into your logistic network, it will request it back later if the storage gets low again (it will also request items if you have a lot available in your network that might not be low to top itself up a bit)
When you want to build a new wall you need to have on you what is needed to build the stations themselves, then stamp down the wall sections as required and walk away. the only extra thing you need on you is radars, these are in some of the blueprints but are not made in the factory, you need to have these on you and place manually if you want extra. I like to have full radar coverage on the walls so just place as required when laying the blueprints.
The wall sections have 2 versions, an A and B, this just has the ammo belt reversed for each side of the stations. There is also a 'joiner' section to help finish an enclosed wall round an outpost for example.
There is an Artillery upgrade for the ammo station if your producing artillery shells in your main base network, this can just be placed over the ammo station and it will latch the station until it has 100 shells, you can then place artillery turrets anywhere in the logi network at the wall with a requester chest for the shells.
Thanks for taking a look
