I finally finished the laboratory. I think this was one of my biggest projects I’ve had yet so far. There’s a lot of space inside for testing apparatus. The microchip facility is in the basement and is pretty much constructed. I imagine the lab will be good for a long while hopefully—meaning, I won’t need to expand it for some time.
The electronics factory is now called the electronic components factory as it is used to make wires, circuits, batteries, and such. It’s fully operational too. It was a bit difficult in the beginning as I had trouble figuring out the machinery layout. The problem was where the buildcraft pipes wasn’t inserting the items into the autocrafters. Moments later and some internet research, it turned out that I needed hook up hoppers to the autocrafters in order to transfer the items from pipes. In the meantime, I built another factory for electric engines; I suspect I’ll be using them a lot later.
Some agricultural areas were expanded. A chicken coop producing, eggs, meat, and feathers has been built. I think I’ll make an apiary or two soon.
The rock crusher has been constructed and fully operational.
The rail factory is operational as well. In there, explosives, tracks, and carts are made. I also hooked it up to the power grid.
My main concerns involve energy and rubber.
The water power plant is starting to strain. I’ve had three crises where I nearly ran out of power. This is dangerous because some areas of my town are only lit by a powered lantern—once the power goes out, monsters will plague my streets. All of my power generation options seem so far out of there and expensive. Nonetheless, I think the steam boiler is my best option.
Rubber, well, as my electrical systems develop, more and more wires and circuits are used. I only have a small reserve of raw rubber. I might need to figure out a good place to start rubber farms soon.
