Unified Foundry
Author: Calen
Built for Update 3
vU3.1.2a
For Iron, Steel, Copper, Glass, Silicon, & Gold Smelting \
Description
The Unified Foundry provides a single facility to produce everything that utilizes a molten channel. It is designed for use from mid to end game. The modules of the Unified Foundry are designed to link seamlessly together. Therefore, it is very important to read the description for each blueprint to read installation instructions and points of connection to the design. Also, be sure to check out the Peripherals subfolder, which has transport and ore crusher blueprints.
Stages of the Unified Foundry:
Note: See https://imgur.com/a/Pn0xhEx for installation pictures
- Stage 1: Initial Build for Iron, Steel, Copper, Glass Smelting, & Recycling
- Stage 2: Silicon Production
- Stage 3: Cooling Tower Upgrade
- Stage 4: Gold Smelting
- Stage 5: Glass II Upgrade
- Stage 6: Arc Furnace II Upgrade for Silicon
- Stage 7: Arc Furnace II Upgrade for Everything Else
Transport System
Ingress and Egress transport modules have been revamped to connect with the Manufacturing Hub as part of a total transport system for your settlement. A transport system that works for everyone in all situations is overly difficult to design. Therefore, I have made the decision to limit the possible methods of connection. I will expand the options as I need to, but I wanted to get this first version of a wholistic system published.
Tips
- Use the UF Footprint Guide blueprint to make sure you have enough space.
- Start with constructing the pipes, conveyors, and storage first. Then construct the buildings as needed.
- Upgrade conveyors to tier III as needed and able.

Change Log
VU3.1.2a - Fixed direction of gold ore concentrate conveyor.
vU3.1.2 - Added a second u-shaped conveyor belt for sand to the silicon furnaces.
Switched all ingress storage (except scrap storage) to full truck import and all egress storage to full truck export.
Adjusted Stage 7 water pipes to accommodate second sand belt.
vU3.1.1 - Readded missing acid pipe for gold Settling Tanks.
Fixed direction of one of the glass Arc Furnace II steam egress pipes.
vU3.1.0 - Built for Update 3
v2.4.1 - Added "Foundry Ingress Transport - Completed Build" blueprint for use with the "Unified Foundry - Complete Build" blueprint.
v2.4.0 - Incorporated recycling (Stage 1a) into the Base Complex (Stage 1).
Also upgraded certain pipes in the stage 1 blueprint that required upgrading later on to accommodate increased flow.
v2.3.1 - Minor transport corrections/improvements
v2.3.0 - Updated transport to connect more easily with other transports, particularly the Manufacturing Hub. This is now part of my Transport System.
Updated the Recycling module to be more integrated by removing scrap belts from ingress transport and instead have them be a part of this module.
Updated "Complete" blueprint. This should fix whatever problem there was with the steam pipes in the previous version.
v2.2.2 - Upgraded right-side exhaust filtration steam pipe to cooling towers to tier III. Upgraded silicon exhaust pipe to tier III v2.2.1 - Added a second egress transport with different orientation.
v2.2.0 - New Recycling Module.
Iron Ore Crusher has been updated to include balancers.
Ingress transport has been updated to account for recycling module.
Egress transport has been updated to include recyclables transport as well as updated to fit better with the Manufacturing Hub ingress transport.
Updated additional egress transport blueprints accordingly.
v2.1.5 - Fixed steam piping for glass furnaces in stage 7 blueprint.
Added completed build blueprint.
v2.1.4 - Updated a couple transport paths.
v2.1.3 - Updated Arc Furnace II Upgrade blueprint to fix coal ingress transport for Silicon.
