Unified Foundry
For Iron, Steel, Copper, Glass, Silicon, & Gold Smelting
v2.3.0
Author: Calen
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/yX0XgXR for installation pictures
- Stage 1: Initial Build for Iron, Steel, Copper, & Glass Smelting
- Stage 1a: Recycling Center
- 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
Note: The Recycling module is new and therefore may undergo further integration into the whole. For now, it's its own module. However, external ingress transport for scrap has now been removed. Also, I haven't updated the tables below to reflect its addition yet as I don't think it has reached its final state.
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.

It looks to me like the MH outputs for the Foundry don't match up with the transports/inputs for the MH. What am I missing?
Thanks! Love your blueprints - excellent work.
Took me an hour to figure out why everything was full of steam and cooling towers weren't working lol
Here is an upgrade to solve that:
https://hub.coigame.com/Blueprint/Detail/423
Feel free to do whatever with it.
Lastly, I did update this blueprint with a completed build.
I keep messing up the Copper/Iron/Steel upgrade to Arc Furnace 2
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.
v2.1.2 - Updated exhaust piping to prevent instance of exhaust leakage to smoke stacks.
v2.1.1 - Updated blueprint to correct use of Flat Conveyor I in a small section.
