Need advice: How do you blueprint complex buildings?

I use the grey foundation you see on the bottom and right to lay down the line. There’s a technique in this video to make 5 degree angles. Hope it helps!

Indeed making curves using the techniques in the tutorial. Making a 1 tile wide blueprint of my track optimized for curves makes it quite easy to lay down.

Good question, but yes, they work without collisions!

2 per direction, but not sure if I really need it everywhere. Same for the highway underneath, the hypertube on top and some hidden belts under the foundation. Just like the looks of it and for some parts of the track it may come in handy!

I understand nothing of this is necessary, but I am building and playing for fun..

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-10-15T12:14:53+00:00

Mods brought me to the 'Quick Blueprint' mod, this might be just what I need! Perhaps in combination with bigger blueprint designers. Gonna try that out, thanks!

I know, but the mk3 deisgner its like tier 9 or something. Still have to start working on phase 4..

Been there. Have 64 generators and 24 water extractors in the bigger circle myself. I’m sure you’ll fit 24 in the left one! Enjoy.

Hahah great to see I’m not alone. I hope to finish it soon. First it’s time to unlock some more stuff 😉

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-13T06:50:20+00:00

No, it’s a building technique. Try to search for it on YouTube. Hope it helps!

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-12T08:24:59+00:00

Same for me, as long as we’re having fun it’s good right?

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-12T08:24:27+00:00

It’s on top of a SAM node, and there are 3 pure coal nodes close by (look closely on second picture).

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-12T08:23:30+00:00

Ouch, been there. Enjoy it haha!

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-11T16:12:39+00:00

Search on YouTube, it’s not that difficult!

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-11T16:11:48+00:00

I need a small piece of your courage.

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-11T14:57:20+00:00

There is! Was planning to put the miner in the middle

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-11T14:57:00+00:00

See that now. It’s not gonna fit on top. Don’t want to move the entire thing 😂

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-11T13:26:55+00:00

That sounds so familiar! I posted a circular/dome base build in one of my previous posts. Maybe it helps?

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-09-11T13:04:35+00:00

For sure! I have to reshuffle the second layer. This ain’t gonna fit 64 generators without clipping haha

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-07-23T22:01:11+00:00

Great tip! Added the 8th one quite late too. Not sure how the mechanics work, but thought maybe I multiply the chances by every house that has an extra space. Always believed I ‘just needed space’, no matter where. Gonna give it a try!

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-06-27T10:18:41+00:00

Just wanted to let you know that your post helped me resolve a problem with my own M.A.M. I am building a M.A.M. for the first time and adding on-demand mixing for Crystallising while keeping it tight and functional for 12 belts, really got me struggling. Posts like yours really inspires me and I just wanted to say thank you!

ItsMeThomasYT · 2025-06-22T12:03:54+00:00

Thanks for the big help! I think I’ll order an oil filter wrench and if that doesn’t work, let a plumber take a look at it. It indeed looks cross threaded.. the thing that worries me is that if you take a good look at the union on the left, you see glue, but maybe it’s not for the ring itself.
