Cursed rare tungsten ore setup

Post by h.q.droid »

This is a mining setup intended for mass production of rare metallurgic science.

It's still based on train-crushed-cars. This setup uses a long train with legendary rocket fuel to reliably crush cars even if they're rebuilt in the middle of locomotives. At 1000 mining productivity it produces about 2/3 green belt of rare Tungsten ore, with a trickle of legendary ore for infrastructure. Consumes cars and legendary rocket fuel from logistics network. The same setup can be adapted for coal and uranium.

It mines into cars placed on rail, extracts uncommon+ ore, then hit the cars with a fast and heavy train after they're filled up with normal ore. Bots will rebuild the cars and repeat. It's a very compact and high-bandwidth method for voiding things.
