Sharing some modular, blackbox(ish) designs
Made an account to show my designs - I am quite happy with them but none of my friends are currently playing, so I was mostly looking for someone to show them to who can (hopefully) appreciate them. I have not yet completed the game -- I tend to spend far too much time in Sandbox mode designing the factories that I need in the main game. Maybe not that time-efficient, but I enjoy it!
Generally, I try to strive for balanced factories with no excess, fully extensible (for as long as the belts can manage), and small footprint (this is not really worth optimizing for, but still fun).
I have not really played around much with proliferation -- extra products seem to generally require quite a large scale to achieve good balance -- but for a few factories I have added it, mostly for fun -- it's far from necessary at my current progress.
I am pretty content with the proliferator tower in particular, but also that they fit almost anywhere. I have made these for about 10 components right now, I believe.
Comments and suggestions more than welcome :)
