Smelt ore on the mine

Hi friends, welcome to factorio-realms.com.

Still hesitating to build a smelting center or smelt near the mine? Now we present you a new option: smelting on the mine itself!

Why?

It is convenient and time efficient. One blueprint is all you need to mass produce this setup.

Pros.

• Convenient: You only need 1 blueprint for setup and can obtain plates directly.
• Good for Early Stage: All equipments are available in early stage.
• Smooth Upgrade: You can use stone furnace at the start and later on replace it with steel furnace.
• Tidy layout: You don't get a tidy layout of furnaces everyday.

Cons.

• Low Efficiency: Only 45% coverage of drill (comparing to 85% in radical layout)
• Cannot Use Modules: Steel furnace do not support modules.
• Cannot Use Bacon: There's no space for bacon.
• Need fuel: Extra belts, inserters and mines to provide for fuel usage.

Layout

Here's the layout for a single unit:

If you are so lazy.... :p..
