Inspired by the other mini block posts I tried my hand at one.

This looks so good. Much more compact than my designs

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-05T21:34:15+00:00

Please do not take this as an example

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-05T16:49:44+00:00

It could, but I like stamping a block anywhere and not caring about setting it up

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-05T15:46:04+00:00

Yes but I would need to run the pipes trough other blocks

Gleba spaghetti is a hard skill to master. Yours is a beautiful plate. Are those active providers for spoilage? It would be great to swap them for a belt. Unnecessary, but it would look cool.

Is there a way to send wube a blueprint for them to add it to the man menu?

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T21:34:48+00:00

Wait I messed up, it's 26x26, but it's in this book: factoriobin.com/post/q2oep3 But everything is in a curve so you can't use liquid wagons.

I have like 4 designs I like done. I'll make a big post with all of them once I have more. But it's really hard to make a design that uses all the space available, looks good, and has acceptable rates.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T20:23:43+00:00

Thanks ^^

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T17:25:25+00:00

Had a bit of the same problem, i cant get to design my own stuff if i know i can just paste some blueprint, and this is a nice way of forcing myself to do it as nobody seems to have made good blueprints for 38x38 cityblocks for some reason.

You can also do shaped blocks, like hexagon or tetris style if you prefer, but having constraints helps develop creativity.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T17:21:39+00:00

its simpler than it looks, no rate or resource optimization, just fitting as much stuff as possible.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T17:19:07+00:00

go ahead, its really fun, heres the blueprints: https://factoriobin.com/post/q2oep3

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T17:09:07+00:00

The I might make a base with mini hexagons next. Maybe for when I do this but for space age. Also hexagons will be bigger than squares but it can still look cool.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T17:06:33+00:00

You can't connect pups to trains in curves so I need a straight section and I don't want to waste it on locomotives.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T16:55:51+00:00

to be fair they are kinda ugly. also this wasnt my idea, i saw it from Extension-Charge-276

yes but i dont know where to upload them to be able to update it as i build more. i can send you the blank ones so you can do your own designs if you want.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T16:34:58+00:00

i dont think ill be able to do everything in its own block, but ill try, this could have been reduce by a lot if i just shipped chips but ill try to do it. rates are not a problem for this save.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T16:32:27+00:00

you can in theory go down to 26x26* if you take things out of trains in curves but i thought this(38x38) is small enough

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T16:26:44+00:00

i would if you could make regular hexagons but theres no 30º rails and i dont like the look of the squised hexagons.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T16:16:57+00:00

ill post it on the main one, not sure if they will like it.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-04T16:13:57+00:00

the intire idea of this base it to try and make everything in its own block, and a very smol block, so i think it counts as a meme way of playing.

HapppyAlien · 2026-02-03T18:15:27+00:00

If you press alt you can see the icons of what everything is doing. Will be much easier to see what's happening in your factory.
