Oops stayed up way too late playing Satisfactory again! But on the plus side one of my factories is now complete! From a single iron ore deposit I'm manufacturing rods at a rate of 75 rods per minute (ore miner pulls 120 ore per minute, I've got 3 smelters making 90 ingots per minute, and 5 constructors making 75 rods per minute! I could easily do 120 rods/minute but I'm buffering my iron ore and ingots in the event I need to borrow some without interrupting the workflow).
I've got another iron ore deposit I intend to make screws with, but at full production speed so I'll be needing 4 smelters, 8 constructors for the iron rods, and up to 12 constructors for the screws to produce nearly a full stack per minute. This is going to be an even bigger factory setup because of the extra machinery, and I'm going to need much faster conveyers for the screws because I'm going to end up throttled at 1/4 capacity for screw output with my current conveyer availability D:
And when I get access to miner mark II+? Those factories are going to grow exponentially if I want to keep maximum output for everything! Probably going to have to create separate buildings to split and handle the increased output for multiple projects when that happens.
