I created stackable blueprints that include a specific type of building, for example constructors. They have an input and output on the ground and i can build them higher and higher as long as the belt is fast enough to push in and out the materials.

By doing that i normally have one or more towers for each component, similar to your mentioned microservice architecture.

On the ground i connect these towers to build the downstream components, essentially creating your mentioned microfactories out of the towers/microservices. Perhaps Manyfactories is a better name, as it’s somewhere in-between micro and mono.

It’s fast, scalable throughout the research tiers and pretty enough for my own standards.

Source? I only have anecdotal reference, but all the Russian people i know hate Putin for what he has done to their home country. Independent from where i know them, some via work, some via friends and family.

Imagine a world where everyone of us needed to actually read these articles to learn whether they were as interesting as the headlines make them out to be.

Thanks a lot for your service!
