First map, ended up looking a bit like a revolver

[Xarovin]

My factory has probably got nothing on the fancy designs here so I won't bother explaining any bits (as it's mainly just messy), just posting as I found it looks remarkably like an upside down pistol on the map haha.
I only heard of the game when it appeared on steam so it's my first map, I'm trying to do it all properly by avoiding using any logistics (aside from for refilling my inventory) or smart things, cuz I think it's a bit cheaty using them.

Edit: Took a 6K screenshot of it, only posting a link cuz it's 35mb - https://odntxa.dm2301.livefilestore.com ... jpg?psid=1



Overview:


And not important, but here's the actual bits -

Furnaces (didn't leave enough room to upgrade to electric, plus I need some way of using up fuel):


Top half of factory:


Bottom half of factory:


Oil refinery:


Train station:

If this is your first factory, I'm truly impressed by the result. I don't have as nice bases as yours, and I'm in my hundreds hours of gameplay

[Xarovin]

Haha thanks, your ones probably work better than mine though, getting resources in or out after initially placing them is a pain ;P
Just checked and I've done just under 60 hours in that world, though with the effort I put in, I'm not planning on starting any new games currently aha

For your first base this is really quite impressive! I only wishmy first bases was like this, or even my first few bases for that matter. Lol
I do see what you mean about it looking like a pistol. Haha

My first base took me 44hours to complete and it was only about 1/3rd the size of yours so you've done a great job.

Hi, i love your map. Can you upload and sjare it? n.n

[OBAMA MCLAMA]

this is really, really nice for a first save. My only complaint, because i have to lay it out, is the train network loops. (through stations are fine)
But man, my first .. i got like 14 hours and decided to make a new world, more organized with what i had learned.

Wish my first base would have been anywhere as good...

My only complaint, because i have to lay it out, is the train network loops.

Yeah... The train network reminds me a lot of...

Hahaha, to be fair, I think it's more interesting that way, straight plain rail networks are boring

Anyway, here's the map file for fredy, I've been messing around with a modular factory using logistic robots since I last posted (may or may not have spoiled my save lol), so that part is very much WIP until I get the resources to build more - https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=6 ... file%2czip
