[OLD] EARN Power Blocks v3.1
🕑 Added 2024-07-28 14:59:27 +0000 UTCPower Blocks are essential for powering a megabase, utilizing EARN Service Trains for construction. The blueprints provided are compatible with EARN 3.1.
Boiler Block (Author: MisterGrimmJaw)
Boilers are your initial solution for base power needs. This layout supports either wood or coal as fuel.
Power Output: 216 MW with 240 Steam Engines.
Solar Block
The Solar Block comes in two versions, one with a built-in solar service station. This initial block supports the construction of additional adjacent solar blocks when connected via roboports. Accumulators are included to handle the day/night cycle on Nauvis.
Power Output:
Solar Block with Service Station: 62.34 MW with 1,039 Solar Panels (Ratio: 0.8402).
Solar Block: 63.36 MW with 1,056 Solar Panels (Ratio: 0.8447).
Nuclear Block
The Nuclear Block uses Uranium Fuel Cells to power its 8 Nuclear Reactors. Offshore Pumps are integrated within the blueprint to minimize pipe usage. Consequently, this blueprint must be built on water or with a mod that modifies Offshore Pumps.
Power Output: 1.12 GW Continuous with a 1.647 GW Temporary Peak
Due to the extensive landfill requirements and the inability to place entities directly on water in Factorio 1.1, this block has three stages:
First Stage: Minimum landfill to set up the service station and tracks. After completion, subsequent stages can be built via Service Train.
Second Stage: Complete landfill layout.
Final Stage: Full nuclear reactor layout.
Changelog

Removed orphan underground pipes from Boiler Block
v3.1.2 ( July 28, 2024 )
Became a Separate Book.
Fixed missing logistics robot signal on the service station chest
