Standard Iron Ore and Concrete Factory

Made from local materials Iron Ore and Limestone as they are plentiful. The recipe and the image. More info. These are build all over the map. You will need two miners, 13 constructors and 5 smelters and almost 70 MW. From an impure node you can make: 45 concrete, 45 iron rods, 40 iron plates, 30 cable and 20 wire.

Building rules

  • Destruction is an essential part of the game.
  • Build “backwards” with the general idea of Phase 5 having everything in storage.
  • Build a general storage with Phase 5 in mind
  • Have each factory a separate building.
  • Reduce production over building.
  • Use mods, but within reason
  • Possibly no Blueprint usage.
  • As little distraction, so no Space Elevator unless needed and a clean HUD
  • HUB gets an inconvenient location. Like in the back of a VW.
  • Loose everything when you die.
  • Play in wussy mode.
  • As little destruction as possible. Save the planet.
