A modular refinery setup that takes sorted ore and produces purified ore or refined mineral dust.

Refining crude oil into heavy oil, light oil, and petroleum gas.

In the expansive universe of Factorio , a game renowned for its intricate logistical puzzles and industrial scaling, the introduction of "Bob’s" and "Angel’s" mod suites represents the pinnacle of complexity. Often referred to collectively as "BobsAngels," these mods overhaul the base game’s straightforward resource chains into a labyrinthine network of chemical processing, metallurgical refining, and multi-stage assembly. In this environment, blueprints are not merely a convenience for rapid construction; they are the essential architectural documents required to manage systemic entropy and achieve industrial stability. The Complexity of the BobsAngels Ecosystem

In vanilla Factorio, a basic assembly line takes iron plates and copper plates to make a product. In Bob’s Angel’s, obtaining a single pure iron plate requires mining raw ore, crushing it, sorting it, smelting it, and refining the liquid metal.

By mastering the use of modular, deadlock-free blueprints, you can transform the chaotic complexity of Bob’s & Angel’s mods into a beautifully orchestrated, automated factory.

To maintain an organized factory, your blueprint library should be divided into distinct categories based on the progression steps of the mods. 1. Ore Processing and Refining

Importing is a simple copy-paste process.

Dedicated "crack-or-burn" modules. You need blueprints that check fluid levels via basic circuit wires. If a byproduct gas is too high, the circuit opens a pump to send it to a Flare Stack. If it is low, it allows the main process to continue. 4. Advanced Smelting and Induction Casting

Because technologies advance through multiple tiers of speed and efficiency, a rigid, highly compressed blueprint will quickly become obsolete. The best Bob’s Angel’s blueprints use a modular, spaced-out layout that allows you to swap out lower-tier sorters, filters, and casting machines without rewriting the entire logistics network. 3. Visual Separation

Because Bob's Angel's requires massive space, use a train-centric layout. 1-2 or 1-4 train configurations are popular. Keep blueprints for 2-way straight tracks, 4-way intersections, and dedicated fluid-loading stations.

These setups introduce water washing, producing purified ores and heavily polluted wastewater. Your hydro-refining blueprints must include integrated water treatment facilities to clean the wastewater, extract sulfur, and loop the purified water back into the system.
