Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Early Game Red and Green Science build plan

Post by nubba »

Hi there,

i want to build a proper red and green science factory (early game). Is there a build plan how many factories i need to get booth running without delay?
I´m searching for a good layout cause mine is ....... not much to say, but very confusing and gets often stuck.

Thanks for help.

Or double that if you really want to run more machines full time. But that's not exactly early game anymore, but early mid-game. With red/green though it's easy to start with less and add more later if you want to expand

Something like this works well:

You can also produce green circuits on site if you want. The copper and iron is there. But I personally prefer to belt them in

You also probably want to use small electric poles instead of medium ones early game (but just replacing poles 1 for 1 would mostly work with the build submitted by Serenity).

Here is a similar design that includes green circuits manufacturing, the one I use in my current base:

10 and 12 machines for red and green is preparing for scaling quite big already (5 and 6 can be enough for early game).

Cheers!

You only need one green circuit assembler (with 1.5 copper cable) for that

I know, but 1.5 is rounded up to 2 assemblers for copper cables and then I chose to go 1 copper cable assembler for 1 green circuit assembler just because it's a simpler build - and cleaner looking.

I made a new version with just 1 green circuit assembler, more compact:
