4. 🧱 Building the foundations of the factory
- ✅ To build the foundations, you need gravel, which is obtained from coal.
- ✅ You need 360 gravel for the foundations and 460 basic materials for the factories.
- ✅ Start with a 2x2 base next to the salvage mine, then place a 2x1 above and another 2x1 on the opposite side.

5. ⚙️ Building the material factory and power plant
- ✅ Place the material factory as close as possible to the salvage mine.
- ✅ Place the diesel power plant near the material factory and connect them with a power pole and cable.
- ✅ You will need a fuel container, which is built in the construction dockyard and transported with a flatbed and a crane.
