Desert Control Rods Factory (Update 8)
Factory in the sandy desert to make Control Rods (80pm) and AI limiters (110pm, 80pm needed for control rod production). This blueprint includes:
- 20 x Electromagnetic Control Rod assemblers
- 22 x AI Limiter assemblers
- 24 x Stator assemblers
- 24 x Fused Quickwire assemblers
- 56 x Copper Sheet constructors
- 44 x Iron Wire constructors
- 18 x Steel Pipe constructors
AI Limiters will go to Control Rod production first, and only overflow will be sent to transport. This is controlled by a smart splitter in the control rod building, and in the main logistics bus under the floor in the copper sheets building.
Logistics:
Iron, copper and caterium ingots are produced around the map. If you choose to use trucks, fuel will be required (not supplied in the blueprint). Steel is not produced in the blueprint, and will need to be delivered either via truck or train (there's coal in the north of the desert, and oil to the south).
Steel is delivered via train (the northern station). You can either set up your own steel mill, or use my https://satisfactory-calculator.com/megaprints/index/details/id/1206/name/Desert+Steelworks megaprint.
You may need to either supplement the caterium ingots from another location or overclock the miner.
Modded Content:
This blueprint uses oversized pieces. The floor under the constructors are normal sized to facilitate changes (if needed). If you want to modify the oversized pieces, I used a mod called Micro Manage
Version History:
- Version 1.0: Original version
- Version 2.0: Changed for update 5 and update 6 map. Also removed multiple dependencies on my other blueprints, to reduce complexity.
- Version 3.0: General reorganization of production. Added conveyors to ingot supplies.
- Version 4.0: General reorganization for update 8
- Version 4.1: Moved assembly towers off the constructor building to simplify internal conveyors.

I've been away from the game for a while, but I will be revising my larger megaprints to make sure they still work.

Your electromagnetic rod can't receive AI controller, and many machines can't receive copper wire

Version 2.0 no longer needs stators to be imported, instead it just needs Steel ingots

For 26 Electromagnetic Control Rod assemblers, you will need 26 x 6 = 156 Stators.

How many Stators per minute does it require?
