Wanted to try City blocks and Main bus concepts for the first time while designing everything myself and since i was playing SE i tried both and the results were interesting, made some mistakes, definitely learned what to/not to do. Still wouldnt have finished SE without them i think.

So I spent nearly a week designing a bunch of city blocks BPs, and one of them was a circuit memory block I called the Brain. It houses a bunch of constant Combinators sending out its signals along the the rail lines of the city blocks .

The first time I tried to design a megabase, it was based entirely on robots. As you might have guessed because of your own experience, I was lagging down to an unplayable 10 frames per second average when I got up to over 100k active robots at once. So, this time around, I've learned about trains. Spent a very long time testing different designs.

City blocks are not an Upgrade for an existing base, they're a whole new one. Usually, you use the starterbase which carries you to about the midgame and is generally used to fire the first rocket, to prouce enough materials to build your City Block design. After you set up the start of the city Block base, the starterbase usually becomes obsolete.

how to design cityblocks

Then I saw the city blocks and thought it was a very good idea, they look exciting. I very rarely use other people's blueprints and try not to resort to this method, so I want to design my own city blocks and I have a few questions: How much does it cost to use rail lanes for directions?
