Got a great start on a new Iron Rod factory today. Mostly because I leaned heavily on blueprinting and repeating the bulk of the work

Going with a dedicated logistics/maintenance floor again, because it helped me fit into a 32mx32m blueprint footprint.

I don’t care if these illuminated barriers are unoriginal at this point, they’re freakin’ gorgeous.

Nice thing is that with this design, there’s a lot more load balancing going on, as opposed to manifolding. Each of the 4 wings has 2 smelters, which get even amounts of resources, and feeds 2 constructors, evenly.

Implemented this little idea for an exhaust vent, above each smelter.
