My beginner plant:
In the center background is the copper works. That raised platform in the back left is the old biomass power plant that I haven't torn down yet; the biomass processing chain is underneath it. In the foreground are all the iron smelters and rod makers.
The rest of the iron works in front, the new coal power plant in the background, and the Space Elevator at the very left edge. I've got some assemblers over there making smart plates and frames.
I've just brought some more coal down from another node, along with a bunch more iron, so I'm finally ready to start on steel. But before I do that, I'm going to basically rearrange everything in those screenshots ^^. I think I want to make a single centralized ore processing area with all of the smelters and foundries, and then just belt the ingots to the different factory areas rather than belting ore everywhere and having smelters all over the place.
