Factorio City Block Planning Concepts

Factorio City Block Planning Concepts What was originally an introductory post to a series about designing a city block blueprint book for Factorio 1.1; right now I don't have any plans to continue work on this until well after 2.0 is released.

Going over the general concepts and considerations when designing a city block blueprint book.
Plop that into a calculator and see required throughputs. Decided on train sizes (2-4-0), block arrangement style (offset rectangles with T-junctions), shoved in a requirement for non-blocking handling of 4-8-0 trains and ended with rail blueprints going around city blocks of 126x252 tiles in size.

Fellow engineers, give me your favorite city block blueprints.
I've been playing Factorio since 0.12. Over the years, I've upgraded from sphagetti to main bus to main bus+sphagetti. I have yet to try city blocks . So share/tell me about your favorite city block blueprint books. If there's something special about your version, I'd love to hear about that too.
Factorio City Blocks v1.1 I've been working on some city blocks which are designed to be simple and cheap: 1-1 trains assembler-2's yellow belts TODO: yellow science related blocks are missing migrate train stop names to include "1-1" include trains in blueprints include requester chests for train fuel-up useful links: https://kirkmcdonald ...

Factorio Prints
Main Base City blocks with coordinates provided in their names, for a fixed layout. Foundation This blueprint book consists of blocks to use as foundation for the main base. The roboport block uses big electric poles, in most cases you need to remove them as a lot of main base blocks use different poles or have them positioned differently.
Im currently trying to design my first "real" city block . Ive already got and implemented some feedback from reddit and now decided to ask most dedicated and involved part of the community - you! I have a few screenshots attached to the post - overall view of a block , closeup of intersection and closeup of trainstation+enter+exit part of a block .

Find Factorio city block blueprints for modular rail grids, scalable production blocks , and megabase expansion.







I recently got around to trying blocks , though, and wanted to share how I use the city block paradigm for runs where the complexity is high and the SPM isn't really relevant - such as in a chill K2SE or Exotic Industries run. Hopefully this might encourage more people - especially those newer to the game - to try city blocks .
