The tower was not very complicated to build, the harder part was fitting all the machines in the limited room on each floor, and keeping track of materials between layers, as you can see:
That isn't a drone port, i don't have drones (or fuel for the jetpack 😬) unlocked. It's actually the hub.
Then you build up stators to help comp for that, then you build some skywalks between the two.. one of my favorite things is building cyberpunk style cities as the factory grows
Still on my first playthrough amd my "factory" is a collection of what I had to build at any moment connected where it has to be for the next step.
Other than a few rebuilt spots here and there.
Last night was the quest for more coal and a lesson in power grid management. Next up to tackle is better water pressure optimization.
And here I am just making my motors by hand like a chump. You know, maybe it’s time I get off my ass and build something cool like this. Iron and coal processing and smelting on the first level, ingot splitting to wire on the second, pipe making on the third, have a vertical line that’ll start pumping out rotors from processing, then a bank of assemblers at the top floor to churn out motors and to line them back down.
