Matt's Factory Notes. The factory is where producers are made. These are vital resources for other buildings.

The Factory is fed by the mine

Standard factory

1. Crafting Grid 2. Inventory 3. Machines 4. Recipes 5. Production 6. Shop 7. Refining

To "build max" left-shift plus click seems to do the job.

Sometimes it gets stuck on build all which sets the shop to buy some. I've not worked out why.

Workers needed

The best way to refine dust that I have found is:

  • Have one worker on refining. Give them a tier at or one above the one you are currently getting into.
  • Set one worker to refine ore to dust.
  • Have as many workers as possible clicking the grids on the lowest tiers of the mine.

Upscaling dust

Dust can be scaled up to the next level with 8 dust plus one of the next level. This makes lumps, which are refined in the mixer to make 2 of the target dust. Effectively, you can at most double your dust if you have 8x of the lower tier. An exotic gem upgrade for 60 Exotic gem.png reduces the lower tier cost.

Steps

I'm slowly figuring things out about the steps section.

  • Crafter allows scanning (sacrificing?) items to learn them. This starts with ore not dust.
  • Later learnings require second-tier chips.
  • The price looks like it follows some sort of power law curve - it gets expensive fast

Fabricator
