I'm building a ziggurat in the desert

This is my biggest build yet, it’s got so much room for activities. I hadn’t built a tier 9 factory yet, so this houses all that. Along with all my new portals and my HUB.

I wish I could build so massively like that. All my buildings end being exactly as big as they need to be. How do you go about planning something like this?

The easy part of this was that the foundation is just a big square. I picked an arbitrary size: ten 6x6 foundation blueprints on each side. The rest I just copied from inspiration images I found online. I pretty much copied an ancient building called the Ziggurat of Ur.

I think the important thing was that I built the thing first, then started figuring out what to put in it. If I did it the other way around, I figured I’d get stuck in analysis paralysis. I did know I generally wanted to build tier 9 parts in it, so I did make sure one floor was tall enough for particle accelerators, but that’s all i planned in advance.
