🧻 Kayser's Compact Paper Mill

Don't Be a Cellu-Loser—Use Kayser's Compact Paper Mill

Current as of: v0.7.7 (Update 3)

Summary

Compact, cheap, and efficient paper mill for up to 96/60 Paper (electric boiler) or 77/60 Paper (woodchips boiler).

As always, this blueprint is built to carry you through the entire game. It starts small and efficient, producing 12/60 Paper using just one Shredder and one Chemical Plant, with minimal storage and short belts to conserve construction parts, maintenance, power, and workers — no wasted resources on unnecessary fluff.

From there, it scales smoothly and elegantly, expanding up to 77–96/60 Paper (depending on boiler type) by utilizing up to 4 Chemical Plant II and 2 Shredders. And thanks to its open-ended layout, further expansion is fully possible, letting you push beyond the standard limits when the island demands more.

Don’t be a Cellu-loser. Print smart. Print compact. Print with Kayser.

Technical Features
  • 4 Chemical Plant templates, upgradable to Chemical Plant II.
  • 2 Shredders for Woodchips, sufficient for 96 Paper when running on Electric Boiler or ~77 when using Woodchips for boiler.
  • Compact, rectangular design for minimal space footprint and easy placement.
  • Short belts for initial build to get started cheaply and efficiently.
  • Readily accessible input/output storages for buffering, alerts, and easy mapping and connection of pipes and belts.
  • Easily accessible exhaust to simplify transition to exhaust filtration (Solid boiler version).
  • Open semi-tilable design in both ends allows easy expansion if necessary.
Blueprints
Blueprint Blueprint Name Description Technology Required Instructions Other Notes
1 Paper12-77/W Complete paper mill. Woodchips boiler. Chemical Plant & Paper Plug-and-play. For full capacity, upgrade 3 Chemical Plants. Capacity is limited to ~77/60 Paper due to some woodchips needed for Steam.
2 Paper12-96/E Complete paper mill. Electric Boiler. Chemical Plant & Paper, Electric Boiler Plug-and-play. For full capacity, upgrade all Chemical Plants. If the Electric Boiler is run with the 2x recipe, power consumption will be intermittently higher (but lower maintenance on average).

Note: The woodchips boiler version can be brought to 96 capacity by building a third Shredder, swiching to electric/gas boiler or feeding an alternative solid fuel (requires replacing belt with lift).

Thank you for all the examples of some of the amazing things that can be done in game. I do enjoy building my own versions, but love your blueprints to use as inspiration. In this build, how did you get the belts to change levels in that very short "S" shape for the wood chips into the chemical plant? I could not get that and made a bit bigger space between and used lifts.
Look for a blueprint named Short Curvy. It’s a relic from U1.
