I recently started messing around with drones and used them to move some distant materials into my Phase 4 factory along with the end results to my space elevator. So I decided I want to build a massive, centrally located drone hub to collect items from factories across the map and disperse them to other factories where needed. Since I also recently learned how to make round buildings, I decided on a massive round tower, where each floor is split into four quadrants, and each quadrant is dedicated to one item (inbound drone port, 2-3 outbound drone ports, storage containers, and an overflow sink for input overflow). Then I thought it would look cool if the drone ports jutting out from each level were offset, so they appeared to spiral up the building. And then my imagination outpaced my ingenuity and I thought "what if instead of arbitrarily offsetting the drone ports, the whole building itself 'twisted'..." So I spent the next several hours trying to figure out how to do that and make it look good. The good news is it works! The bad news is it takes FOREVER to do one 8m ramp, let alone the 100+ for the final product. I never bothered with blueprints beyond my fuel generator ones for my power plants, and am not sure how to even get something like this into a blueprint. Any advice or feedback on the design would be much appreciated. Happy pioneering!
Bonus design notes: the walls are two layers thick (to hide unseemly clipping) and diff colors for the effect where there will be windows. Each ramp for the spiral is an 8m ramp on the inside edge and two 4m ramps on the outside, filled in with 40 painted beams (this is the tedious part that takes forever). The innermost circle of the foundation will be the elevator shaft, that will be connected to the outer ring with catwalks.
