First Factory

Wanted to start a second factory, but didn't want to start from scratch, so i built a pipeline to the second factory to provide me with resources.



Pipeline to second factory


Gear production, was necessary to produce express lanes.




Second factory, pretty much just for research and express lanes.


Now I think about third factory, but there is nothing left that I would need to produce.

Great job ! It's true that unfortunately the game has no unlimited life expectancy

I see my favorite Bus design! I think there is one important thing in this design. it's very important to provide effective withdrew system from the bus. You can take a look on my factory.

I don't understand. Why you need to take something out of the bus?

If a lane blocks, that means to me that the factory doesn't need this resource.
If I don't need that resource either, then its okay for the producers to stop, because there is no more space.
That way I don't consume raw materials if i don't need them.
And the hole system is designed so that a (full) blocking resource does not affect other lanes.

I thought about putting crates at the end of the bus, several times. But I didn't want the situation where I have to move a full crate. I only put crates at the end if I need the product/resource.

But you also have withdrew systems. They take part of materials from BUS to transport it to assembling lines.

Anyway you just can take a look on my factory http://vel-master.ru/any/pics_for_mats/factorio/bus.rar. Maybe you'll find something interesting for yourself. I also interested to get you factory gamesave.
