This build works for any raw material, with the exception of steel (for obvious reasons). If you’re in need of coal/carbon/silicon/copper for any reason, just use this build. Be sure to change the synths to what you want too.
This is a build for a microfactory to produce steel. The steel can only be processed in a different building due to size constraints.

As of the time of posting, one of the most compact 22.5/s steel builds yet. For some odd reason, the bottom three rows somehow stabilize the build. They also offer steel rod/plate/shaper recipe generation utilizing only 20/s of steel, which, in theory should be the most efficient way to make steel rod/plate/shaper recipe for now.

A recycling build. It may not be the most efficient in terms of money/substance, but it’s good for dumping extra resources for a bit of cash. Uses importers, so be careful as the importer bug may occur.
A rod producing build. Ching’s improved version of Patytseng’s design. All paty has to do was add one grabber and he could have held the crown. Moral of the story, when uploading a build, make sure someone can’t one-up you on it.
