Description

Concrete Factory & Paper Mill

Author: Calen
Built for Update 3
vU3.1.0

You may say to yourself, "A concrete factory and a paper mill is an odd combination." But where I grew up, I could always tell when it was about to rain if I could smell the paper mill situated a few miles away to the southwest of us. And right next to that paper mill was, you guessed it, a concrete factory. Who knows, maybe they were sharing limestone, water, & fuel just like I do in this design.

v3.1.0 - Updated builds to switch to Manufactured Sand. v3.0.1 - Updated water return pipe from cooling tower.
Quite simply, Calen's are the best blueprints available.
