factoriomaps.comThis is my creative world save, on which I've spent over 240 hours now building and optimizing designs to later use (or not, as it turns out) in my bases. I try keeping things intact as much as possible, although I still regularly destroy stuff in the interest of space.
People have asked me in a different thread to upload it to FactorioMaps to see one of the designs in there (the interface module with all the bots near the bottom left), so I figured I might as well make it its own post.
There's a bit too much in there to really go through it all, but feel free to ask me about any design (most notably, you can see the many iterations of modular rail systems and train loaders/unloaders I went through).
The save file available in there also has a bunch of blueprint books of my most recent stuff, if you want to play around with them.

I'm doing the same. It's great for testing.

I really love the green lamps! Makes Factorio so colorful.

They sure do, and they also help me to not get squished by a train every 5 seconds. You can see them in action in the proof of concept video I've made a couple months ago. It's an earlier, less efficient version of the one in the map, but the idea is the same.

WHAT, that is amazing with the lights!!!
2
That is exceptionally cool. I was going to ask if you had a video of the lights in action but you beat me to it. It looks awesome but that's also got to be a really interesting way to visualize utilization of the various sections.

Tell me you are going to light up those red mana symbols with red lights.

Love you're "If you never get killed by trains, you need more trains". :)

Is it just me? Where are all those megabases getting their ores from? Are you playing with infinite spawners?

The farther you go from spawn, the richer and bigger the resources get. Some megabases have trains that go so far that a train takes 15 minutes at full speed. You get patches in the 500M range easily at that distance.

Yeah i know..... But you can´t see any of those paths in this base.... That´s what im wondering about

Probably made in sandbox mode using the "creative mode" mod - gives you infinite power generation options, self-filling chests and train cars, void chests, and more. It's great for planning out large-scale projects and making blueprints.

The OP said in his comment that it is in creative just to tinker about designs.

What are those diamond shaped modules called? Searching for blueprints
1
I call them cells, they are my own design so you won't find those blueprints on any blueprint site (although I've seen other hexagonal modular bases before). The blueprint books containing all the modules I've created so far are in the save file available from factoriomaps, though.

I like the lamps for showing where trains are.

I love the diamond-shaped city blocks. They’re really beautiful.
Thanks! My main priority is efficiency, but I also try to keep everything as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
