Endgame designs

The trains stations are for getting tech, i have set up for my ores to place my main base.

When I clicked on one of the images in OP I got a prompt to update android from the host site. Seems legit...

Lovely necro here.
For what it's worth, the images load just fine on my desktop.
Given the nature of the content, I wouldn't want to browse these on my phone anyway, assuming I had a choice.

Smelting

I have not seen the factory in action but from what I see from the picture it looks like a lot of the smelters are not doing anything. The method I find that works the best is the design below.

All furnaces go at max speeds and can be scaled between 8-16 furnace designs. If you need more output build a second line.

Furnace layout (assuming iron or copper ores with steel or electric furnaces)
standard belt max throughput = 12 items/sec or 6 per side
- number of miners required to fully load = 12 per side
- number of furnaces required to fully smelt - 11 per side

Fast belt max throughput = 20 items/sec or 10 items per side
- number of miners required to fully load = 19 per side
- number of furnaces required to fully smelt - 18 per side

Express belt max throughput = 30 items/sec or 15 per side
- number of miners required to fully load = 29 per side
- number of furnaces required to fully smelt - 26 per side
OR - assuming 2 level 3 speed modules in each electric furnace (which will never make sense to me)
- number of furnaces required to fully smelt - 13 per side as displayed in the Vulcan's enormous smelting facility

Nice breakdown. I never have gotten that particular ratio worked out. Now I can add smelting to my list of perfect ratios

The defend crossway is very good but I would double up the walls and add gates to the tracks

That's what you get when some necros a thread like this... These screenshots are from the pre-gates era... (possibly pre-spitters as well actually)

Coming up on the next update, you can set the steam engines to run only when needed

My thanks to the OP. I'm a new player and this base completely inspired me to make my new one in the same manner. I've learned a lot. Thank you again.
