Hugest Factory with Hi-Speed-BUS design. Made by Vel-Master

[vel-master]

This is my second factory.
I want to remind that this design is based on Hi-speed-BUS(hiway) in the middle of factory which brings all the materials thought all factory. This materials can be easily withrewed from BUS(hiway) by different mechanisms.
This design make your able easy modernisate your factory or increase production of assembling lines.
Just have a look!=)

Look out!!! Wery Huge Image! (To make zoom on web page press ctrl+mouse wheel)

Nice factory!

You used the same principle as my Classification Factory ("Gare de triage" in french). Centralisation of ressources and dispatching to individual production lines.
However, yours is neater, and bigger.

I'm actually working on my second factory, we will see who use this system the best

Inspired!!

waiting for your factory=)!

It will take some time, I'm working on the conveyor belts right now. When you have a huge number of smelters and assemblers, a single belt is often not enough to handle the amount of materials processed. And the highest speed belt is really expensive..

Inspired indeed! I need to start new game with moar resources!

[vel-master]

I added new images in the topic with updated factory

I was working on my factory, and I notice that its remarkably similar to yours.
I think there is not a lot of ways to make a clean BUS design. Horizontal ressource lines with vertical production lines.
The only differences would be small details, belt optimization, etc...

And you did just what I wanted to do: add production lines for every item possible.
Good job.

I think that this sytem is quite natural and also in use in real logistic.
Now i feel some small problem in my factory: one expess belt which is full of one kind material is not enought for all production lines same time. I'm think that for realy huge factory necessary to use a number of belts with same materials such as steel plates, gears, copper cables. My factory consumting it with unreal speed.

[Icebird]

Meh, I have the exact same problem. It's why I didn't finish my second factory, as I'm tinkering with the speed of belts and flow of materials.
However I fear that the only real solution is a simple multiplication of the different belts and plants.

Could you please share the save file? This is impressive
Actually I have more fun going around massive and good builded factories than build one myself.
Also you learn a lot more faster!

Not a broblem. Catch my save file: http://www.vel-master.ru/any/pics_for_m ... io/bus.rar

the central bus design scales better if you make it a side bus, so you can expand the bus on north and the factories on south

Impressive! Nice factory

[Maxion]

Very impressive!
I notice you went for the larger denser resource patches.

Currently playing with the default settings myself, as well as having to worry about being attacked.

We would love to have an automatic train transport in the game. That will start to be useful once you need to transport large amounts of goods for middle-long distances.

I Update my factory. More production, more resources. Also i build super compacr blu science pack facory to the west from main factory. All this you can see in my game save and image.

Oh. There are junction rails?
