A pre-designed, repeatable module used within the game Factorio to organize and structure the player’s factory base. It typically includes standardized layouts for power, train tracks, production facilities, and defensive systems, allowing for easy expansion and predictable resource flow. An example would be a square section containing smelting arrays, power generators, and rail access points, replicated across the map.
The advantage of employing this structured approach lies in enhanced scalability and efficient resource management. Standardized layouts reduce planning time, streamline construction, and facilitate automated expansion through the game’s blueprint system. Historically, this modular design evolved from player communities seeking to overcome the logistical challenges of late-game factory management, particularly with increasing scale and complexity.
