A small, load-balanced, quick startup, pre-aluminum rubber and plastic factory making 500/min rubber and 400/min plastic. Runs at full speed in under 15 minutes (and 75% speed in 5 minutes). Featuring brand new tech: liquid load-balancing.

Input:

• Crude Oil up to 300/min

Output:

• Rubber 500/min
• Plastic 400/min

Misc:

• Schematic: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=EyDVdfnh9ndHsQo5I9ww
• 7x7 foundations (Megaprinter 24 https://ficsit.app/mod/Megaprinters)
• Add your own dimensional depots as desired

Instructions: Connect power and crude oil (oil input is white). Runs at full speed in under 15 minutes (and 75% speed in 5 minutes).

Special Notes:

• Requires a lot of inventory slots to place. Here's three ways how to get extra slots:
  • Edit your game.ini file (%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows) and add these three lines to it:
    • [/Script/FactoryGame.FGPlayerSettings]
    • mDefaultPlayerInventorySlots=250
    • mDefaultArmEquipmentSlots=5
  • Use SCIM to edit your save file. Go to https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map, load your save game file, click OPTIONS, add as many slots as you want, export the modified save file, and load that save file.
  • Use a mod to increase your inventory size, such as https://ficsit.app/mod/Additional_300_Inventory_Slots

Discussion: Answering the question: "What if I didn't want to wait for buffers to fill up in a rubber/plastic factory?" And: "Wait, how would I load balance liquids. People say it's a terrible idea." And: "Wait, all of these pipes would be partially filled, and we all know full pipes are happy pipes. Would it still work?" And: "What if I wanted to do this without using blenders so I could make this as soon as I reached oil processing?" Well, this is what happens, featuring 1-to-14 and 1-to-10 liquid splitters, by coaxing pipes to do unspeakable things with a result looking like a cross between a Chihuly and an H. R. Giger creation. Build time: 2.5 days
