Using the circuit network and the mod Recursive Blueprints to created a fully automated factory to continually expand the Solar farm.
Never again build Solar farms by hand when you can have robots expanding by themselves continually.

A "glider" is a term for a self-replicating pattern as part of Conway's Game of Life. In factorio terms this is a self replicating factory, in my case to build solar farms.

Critical Mods:
Recursive Blueprint (enables deployment of blueprints by the Circuit network)
Blueprint string (enables copy-pasting blueprints in and out of the game)
Signal Strings (required for Recursive Blueprint to interpret the circuit commands)
