Description

Mining

Author: Calen
Built for Update 3
vU3.1.1

Description

These blueprints are designed to handle your ore sorting and storage needs throughout the game. I already have dirt and rock predefined in each blueprint, but feel free to change it up.

Blueprints

  • Mine I Storage - Earliest blueprint with tier-I storage and belts. When you add a product, also add it to both available ports to get up to 120/60 throughput.
  • Mine I Kit - Mine I Storage with mining tower and tier-I fuel station.
  • Mine II Upgrade - Delete the current storage and transport and lay this down overtop to upgrade a mining station to tier II.
  • Mine II Storage - Two sorting plants, tier-II storage & belts.
  • Mine II - 4th Product Storage - If you ever have need to add a 4th tier-II product output, here is the storage for it.
  • Mine II Kit - Mine II Storage with mining tower and Tier-II fuel station.
  • Mine II Station - Train station for Mine II.
  • Mine II.V Kit - The name is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it has Mine II storage with a large sorting plant.
  • Mine II.V with Station - Combines the Mine II.V Kit with the Mine II Station.
  • Mining Depot - Train station for mining products & byproducts. Place this near your settlement. From there you can run belts or use trucks to distribute products.
  • Waste Sorting Track - I use this if I'm digging up a dump location.
  • Mine III - Base - One large sorting plant and tier-III storage & belts. I use this if I'm just landscaping.
  • Mine III - 3rd Product Storage - Add this to Mine III - Base to have a 3rd product output. It uses 4 ports on the sorting plant.
  • Mine III - Standard - What the result of the previous two are.
  • Mine III - 4th Product Storage - Add this to Mine III - Standard to have a 4th product output. It uses the final 2 ports on the sorting plant.
  • Mine III Kit - Mine III - Standard with mining tower & tier-III fuel station.
  • Mine III Station - Train station for Mine III.
  • Mine III with Station - Mine III Kit with Mine III station.
  • Remainder - Prefab ore-specific Mine III with Station blueprints and relevant crushers.

Do you intend to make a version of this using the Large Ore Sorters?

@Mat1k - Here it is.

When I try to import the dialog box pops up the following text: "F45860:H4sIAAAAAAAACuy9DVx..." (45867 chars) Failed to import the given string. I tested by importing version 3 successfully. Hope this helps.

@Jonkin and @Hed - This is caused by the fact that I am on the experimental branch (0.7.8) whose changes appear to break backward compatibility. I switched back to the main branch (0.7.7) but couldn't load any previous games - the graphics were out of whack. I tried starting a new game on 0.7.7 but my blueprints folder was empty, which was horrifying! I will refrain from updating any other blueprints until after 0.7.8 goes live on the main branch. My apologies.

@Calen thx for the comment! Your blueprints are amazing thank you! :)

This is perfect. Now to get a railway setup to make full use of it. Damn roundabouts and multi-track intersections annoy me.
