Sourcing & Verification
Imported verbatim from the sandustryvault.com community vault, submission #12 by PicaPinguin (2026-08-12); the source reports 1473 in-game copies. We have not re-tested this design in our own save, so footprint, power draw and throughput are left unstated rather than estimated.
Design Intent & Problem Solved
Each Mini Factory Works like this: On top you put 2 lumlings for Water, then you add lava on the very bottom & put some Water ontop of the Lave so you get Steam / in the Middle you Add Liquid Copper and Copper Molds to get Energy Bricks
