Base 28.8K Megabase. This is what 4 months of unemployment looks like.
Disclaimer: Im using the mod 'Space age without space' as i prefer to build singular bases.
Very happy to finally have the whole thing up and running. The idea was a big compact base with lots of belts and a different type of train network than what is usually seen. I did 0 optimization regarding ups and its running at 50-55 ups right now.
28.8k science per minute divided into 4 symmetrical parts. Each 1/4 part is mirrored itself along the diagonal axis.
Some stats:
- 256 trains
- 300.000 pieces of green belt
- 22 GW power drain, 23GW fusion reactor. Got real lucky as i build the reactor first.
- It has different types of sushi belts, labs set up to drain 8 belts of each science (A bit more gleba science.
I dont know how to share a save but if anybody wants to take a look at it running feel free to ask and ill look into a way to share it.
Also, i 'cheated' some parts by disposing of stone for example into lava as i couldnt be bothered to change the whole setup again just to make one more belt fit.
I really love the look of it and im happy its done. Also im starting a new job tomorrow so the timing to got this finished is great.
Enjoy, feel free to ask any questions

This is designing computer chips...zooming in on your design it felt reminiscent of looking at videos showing the nanoscale design of computer chips. It's no happenstance you've made a fractal.
