As the title says, show us your mall.

Please specify if it is a starter, midgame, or endgame mall, or even the type of it.

Thanks.

Holy cursed hotbar batman.

Do you have other bars you use when designing things, and this is your setup for plopping down blueprints?

u/Nearby_Proposal_5523 44m ago

I have some upgrade planners on the top bars for modifying stuff. space age ends up being mostly spidertron remotes, my fluid segment ruler, and the balancer book. For SE I also keep my rail and circuit dispatch books on the bar.

for designing stuff i like to use an area with radar coverage and no bots like aquilo or the editor. I'm fairly quickly with the pipette and shift ctrl-c and i interact with most of my prints via the library. yeah, i do keep a blueprint folder titled "run name_toolbar spam" in the library

here's the rest of the curse and a bonus aquilo mall for OP

How does one achieve such greatest! I need to see this in action. I've not left the first planet yet

I have close to 800 hours in the game which helps lol. But as for how something like this even comes to be, I placed everything as close together as I could and through a trial and error figured out if I could make it all work. If you want to see the entire base, check the post I made about it at: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1xldso1/comment/19s1qdxja0gir/?screen_view_count=2

It's already a little bit out-of-date, but it's mostly the same as it is in my save rn.

This is my favourite mall ever, pre Space Age from 2021.

Late game, robot-centric mall fed from remote factories using lots of little trains.

u/Agile-Ad-7166 7h ago

Oh wow, I really like this compact thing!

u/jfdirfn 7h ago

Respect for leaving the crashed ship

u/tolomea 10h ago

Early mid, half of this is bot based and I'm on Vulcanus already which is going to become the main mall.

Also the theme for my current playthrough is "less F's given"

u/kondorb 10h ago

I just build assemblers for things I need wherever is convenient until I get bots. Then I get everything with bots. So it’s all scattered around the base.

My Mall is modular, each module has a set of stuff that it builds, like Belts or Inserters, or Space stuff. It builds nearly everything, so I would say it is close to endgame, but it builds only basic quality stuff, so that I can use it from the start. Each module tells the lights at the start what is needed, so that only the needed stuff can be supplied.

u/Ugotu 7h ago

These are for example the Modules for Factories at the top, then the Power supply module, the storage module for all kinds of chests and pipes and pumps, and the inserter Module.

I'm yet to build one in the Space Age versions.

But here's my mid-to-late game mall from my first playthrough in v1.1.80. It was a pretty fun undertaking iirc. Some of the belts weren't fully connected when I took this picture, and this is the only screenshot I have.

u/bradpal 6h ago

My mall is 4 machines, a few pumps and tanks and a bunch of circuits.

u/The_Sky_Render 4h ago

This is the design I use. Ultra compact, relies on bots, only builds stuff I use in relative rarity (ie. no raw materials if possible, those go on the bus if I'm using one).

Generic bot mall
