First item for today was to finish the new sections of tubeway. I.E. tear down the blueprint scaffolding, and place support framing.
With that done, I had a look and this is basically the only segment of straight tubeway pieces that can serve as an entrance to our new factory. I decided to only consider the lower of the 2 new tubeways, so that I could leave all the nice foliage around on the upper segment.
Tube entrances are spliced in.
Now, from this spot, I'll need to gain some height so the building can clear that big jut of cliff out there. So, that establishes about 4 foundations of distance between the tubeway and the entrance to the factory: 1 flat up against the tubeway, 2 4m inclines, and another flat in front of the door.
That should be the rough shape we need.
I decided to re-visit the concept I tried for the Frameworks factory: big-honkin'-foundation-sized features to make up the walls of the building, instead of just the thin-ass walls that don't have a whole lot of opportunity for detailing. As such, all these floors are oversized by 1-2 whole foundations, and these foundation pillars are all sitting in that additional space. It's possible I might downsize a thing or two, as I go, but really, I'll probably just live with some extra open space in the factory, if it comes to that.
This should cover all the floor plans I roughed-out last time.
The rest of my time I just spent getting creative with detailing. Should be able to build out machinery tomorrow.
