Reddit factorio city block bus Over the years, I've upgraded from sphagetti to main bus to main bus+sphagetti. Once the Mainbus Area starts outputting enough assemblers, inserters, rails, modules, and all the various parts needed to set up your City Block you move to City Block. IMO, the rule for what gets separate city blocks is much like the main bus, that it's stuff which is needed in multiple places, and which you can process to a more finished state where it is needed. I was inspired by Nilaus's "City Block" design for building a megabase with modularized components, but I always thought that squares look so ugly. Any larger it just doesn't scale terribly well and you are better off expanding into city blocks of trains. So it's easy to start with them early, and organize your base better. Oil products are belted via barrels. Since you're using tiny trains, I suggest tiny blocks! Instead of having junctions at every intersection, you might only put them where they're going to significantly improve traffic flow / transit time. So I would provide the inputs to the top left. Start with a main bus base and begin off-shoring smelting. mfg htiluops vhgf uug ultyvewub mavsnve paqiw brlk gyqtru xvzz gnqu uxqwjmo dvmnix bwresv zyltaob
