  • Can be build incrementally while researching, thus a bootstrap factory
  • Self contained, thus no need for intermediate products on a main bus
  • Not included are: Miners, smelters, refineries, labs and a power plant
  • Compact, thus requires less material for logistics and defence walls
  • Requires only basic building materials, thus a less complex mall
  • Split in three blocks, so you can run trains or have roboports in between
    1. Science packs 1-4:
    2. Science pack 5:
    3. Science pack 6:

Nive work. I prefer these types of bases to the Main Bus/City Block types. My science pack 1 - 4 is not as compact as your but I still had fun creating it.

I think this is great. Small science setups are fun to build, but I know some players get tired of re-making them each time they start a world, or get stuck on trying to build an even amount of all the sciences. Something they can just plug into their main bus is super handy to have.

Being able to build it in stages is also an excellent bonus, and I appreciate that it's all similarly sized for all 3 stages.
Now you just need a modular bootstrap mall to go with it!

are you looking for feedback on how this can be aproved? or are you just wanting to show it off. i have designs for blue science that are denser than what you have (blue science 39x22 = 858. 45 spm using assembler 2 and no moduels)
are you trying to keep it really simple by having only straight belts?

nice setup, but as I've measured red and green science are produced with 120/s.

You probably used assembler type 2 instead of 1.

I see 24 chemical science pack assemblers, they should be paired with 12 logistic science pack and 10 automation science assemblers/military science assemblers (of the same assembler type).

If you insist on not upgrading the first assemblers, you'd use 15 automation science pack and 18 logistic science pack assemblers for a target of 90 SPM

As depicted the first sciences are overproduced.

I stand corrected, you're absolutely right :oops:
