If you don't have any aluminum factory yet, read below for temporary factory before building this.

In:

• Bauxite 2x780/min (for impact of 2x600, see below)
• Oil 156/min
• Copper Ore 214/min

Out:

• Aluminum Casing 562.5/min
• Alclad Aluminum Sheet 480/min
• Empty Fluid Tank 180/min
• Aluminum Ingot 150/min

If using 2x600, disable the smart splitter output going into the constructors making fluid tanks. Change Left-any to Left-none. Then the outputs are:

• Aluminum Casing 450/min
• Alclad Aluminum Sheet 480/min
• Aluminum Ingot 120/min

Info:

• Schematic: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=gmg95chmfaAzrjmD2ir8
• Size: 9x5 (Blueprint Designer Mk.4.1 https://ficsit.app/mod/KBlueprintDesignPlus )
• Uses 4 mercers and 6 power shards
• Requires ~800 aluminum ingots to make. You will need a starter factory before this one.
• Sinks excess ingots and looks cool at all times

First Aluminum Plant? Build this blueprint first: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/blueprints/index/details/id/8537/name/Ugly+10-Minute+Aluminum It uses the same inputs in the same orientation so you will be ready for this one. Run it for about 10 minutes to make the aluminum required for this factory (around 1000). Then delete and build this one.

Instructions: Plug everything in. Make sure the left bauxite is connected to the lift and not to the lip of the wall (I couldn't solve this without making something visually terrible). If it's not moving at all, just reconnect it.

Commentary: I had fun with this one. I got to read and reread the plumbing manual, then made a triple VIP-junction for water feedback. And the whole factory is way more compact than I imagined. Let me know if you think the ratio of products should be changed (more or less casings). I may make a Mk.6 version of this later. In general, I'm running out of factories to make. Got any ideas?

Please leave a rating if it works, and a comment if it doesn't!
