Well, bump. I recently re downloaded this game after seeing that Aavak is doing a LP of it, and I feel ready to show off my first real base. Warning, if you are OCD you should not look at these images. Also, all of these are large. Low bandwidth beware.
First, a general overview of the base. I also labeled all the important areas.
This is a tech three base, meaning it is set up to automatically handle level 3 research. I could easily do tech 4, with a few quick modifications. Iron comes from way west, copper from the north, and coal from a big field in the middle, and oil is north of the iron. The small rectangles above everything are guns.
Let's take a closer look at the oil.
Please don't ask me to explain how I made this work. I have no fucking clue myself. I'm just glad it produces plastic, batteries and flamethrower fuel. I try not to look too close at this for fear of going insane. It's like a eldritch abomination.
As we move east, the layout becomes slightly more sane with the smelting area.
I don't use too much steel, which is why the production area for that is so small.
And then we come to the automated research and production.
It makes level 3 beakers automatically, which was a pain to set up.
And last but not least the power.
There is another power area but it is pretty much the same. You can see the solar panels like a lame attempt to be green.
And that's that. If you have any questions please ask.
