BIE's "Parasol Mall": Multiplexer-Fed Ship-Every-Building Sushi-Belt Mall (proliferated)

(Reddit link)

This is basically version 3 of my Hendkabelt mall, which builds on it and the Spaghetti Bowl mall.  Like those, it has one major assembly instruction: SPLITTERS GO IN LAST.  Empty them from your inventory, build everything else, then place the splitters.  Do it that way and it shouldn't jam.

Black-Start Capable: Plunk it down and forget about it. It'll request everything it needs and start up on its own, with no need to hook it up to existing power supplies or prime any generators by hand. Ideal for sprinkling around your cluster to cut down on shipping times, especially if you're playing a big-cluster Galactic Scale game and laying down prints like crazy.

Sushi-Belts: Kinda my bag.

Doesn't Jam: Provided you follow the main assembly instruction--splitters go in LAST, after everything else is placed--it shouldn't jam on you.

Exchanger-Powered: Also my bag, and the main reason it's black-start capable--exchangers don't require power in order to start up, just some belted-in batteries. It does take a while to spool up, though--500MW of exchanger power takes a bit to charge up 16 ILSes, but it'll do it. Once they're charged up, though, it's got about 275MW to spare in order to re-charge any ILS.

Proliferated: That was the new requirement for this one! I experimented with running crazy belts all throughout the main sushi-belt stack to feed everything. It got so cumbersome I just added sprays to the top belt and had every module pull them off as needed.

MK3 Assembler Speed: Or faster, in the case of some of the proliferated items like belts. Once it spools up, it'll crank everything out at speed at the same time.

(Relatively) Tiny: The other new self-challenge was to cram everything in under the "wings" of the required ILS. Ya need 16 to do the whole building list, in and out, so I aimed to make a 4x4 grid of ILS and cram the whole works in there. I (mostly) succeeded! (There's a couple of bits that peek out just a tad.)

Intermediary Manufacture: This one makes some of the less-common items on-site--constraint spheres, plasma exciters, and photon combiners--just in case your logistics network doesn't have those in it. It will happily request those if your network does have them, though! If you need grav lenses, I heartily recommend Terrevil's grav-lens blackbox.

Have fun, make crazy stuff!
