Actually got a fully-functional Versatile Framework factory done today, starting from scratch.

After establishing an estimated footprint and location, I realized I still needed to go back and complete all the belt lines, and run power to all the miners.

Two Normal Coal nodes makes one pure’s worth of belt.

Finished the new branch of the tubeway that carries the coal belt over to the coastline.

Iron and Copper, of which I only needed Iron, but which share a branch off of the main line, as they’re so close together. The Copper will be for the next factory.

Back at the factory, I got all the resource belts and power lines run in.

This makes up production for Iron Ingot, Basic Iron Ingot, Solid Steel Ingot, Concrete, Molded Beam, Iron Wire, and Steel Cast Plate.

Added in Stitched Iron Plate, and ran power to get the initial stuff running and priming.

Remaining products include Steel Rod, Modular Frame, Steel Beam, and finally, the Versatile Frameworks themselves.

This brings everything online, and running, just inefficiently. We’ll see what bugs there are to work out, tomorrow.

Reference for the curious. The factory is currently set to run at 12.5% clock speed, compared to this diagram, and is built to be able to clock up to 250%, with only belt upgrades needed.
