Early Hub

Author: Calen
Built for Update 3
vU3.1.2

Description

This is the Early Hub, which is to the Manufacturing Hub as the Early Foundry is to the Unified Foundry. It's more compact and focused on supporting your needs through tier I & II technologies. The idea was to give you a solid manufacturing base while you clear space for the larger blueprints.

The Early Hub equates to the first 3 stages of the U2 Manufacturing Hub. The U3 Manufacturing Hub will combine those 3 stages into 1 so it can pick up right where the Early Hub leaves off.

Installation Instructions

  1. Chopose an area that is, or will be, 4x4 sectors(?) (16x16 mining tiles) of cleared, flat space in size.
  2. Follow this picture guide to help you install all the stages: https://imgur.com/a/early-hub-iLE09ln

Production Metrics

Note: As construction costs and building counts are now included in the Blueprints menu, I won't be including them here.

The open area near the Vehicle Depot, up in the image, can be used for a Rail Depot. Best if pointed same way or against the vehicle depot, so there is space for expansions. @Calen Love your full set of Blueprints, looking forward to the updated set.
no clue how this is supposed to transition into the Manufacturing Hub bp.. no labs even in this bp???
The lab uses mechanical parts and Electronics, just put an assembler 2 and a couple of belts down until you can start working on the Man. hub
Great Blueprint! An (admittedly autistic) nitpick, some of the assemblers are flipped for whatever reason.
