Just an overview of the layout. 16 inbound lanes, 5 of which are free for future imports. The core of the mall is seen in the middle producing all commonly used items.

The core of the mall seen from a mapview, showing required imports and the 5 free import stations marked with green.

These are the items produced by the malls core. Free slots are available to be used for items not currently seen the need for or new items.

These are the items from the logistics and production tabs which are not produced in the malls core. REASON: I don't see the need for these items to be produced in any significant amount or i just don't use them i my play throughs - however, it would be quite easy to add most of them in.

This is the mall's core look - the planned future additions to the mall will most likely look similar.

One of the assembly units - this is probable burning advanced players eyes :( sorry.

- Assembler in the middle.
- Requester chest to the right.
- Storage chest to the bottom right - inserter is turned off when the combinator to the right outputs that there are enough of the given item in the system.
- Combinator to the right controls how much of the given item is needed.
- Three lights to the left.
1. Lights red if there aren't enough resources to make the item.
2. Lights yellow when the item is producing
3. Lights green when the item is at or above the minimum about set.

I prefer to have these lights for a quick overview of where things are wrong and what is currently producing. Feedback is welcomed.

NOTE: Many assemblers are intentionally starving - this is, to my knowledge, fine because many items don't need to be produced at an insane rate, and has no effect on the red light.

The current plan for future addons to the mall.
