Raw material input in factories

[Midgard]

I have noticed what´s an inconsistency and that´s the basic input output system, lets call it BIOS. Anyway, i had four workers that put tomato bags into making tomato paste on one setup, on the other one just one worker input but it makes no difference?
I actually had two setups for a pizza production and their output was identical according to the factory info screen for both.
Four times as many tomatoes went into making a pizza compared to one into that, ... whatever it was called, the tomato-paste-maker.

Also, what one can see if using a split conveyer belt piece is that yes, one input station puts in twice as much. Both goes into the TP-maker but with no actual result it looks like, so you see him work twice as much, both rows moves in twice as much.... gone.
Still the same amount of pizzas made and yes, i did it for the dough and also the cheese that requires two slicer machines in between.
I will further look for the results but i didn´t write my previous production down (which i should have), so i can´t compare it now.

I don't know if the factory tab is correct. It doesn't always seem to be as far as I can tell. I've been looking at the inventory right before 02:00 to judge the results. I think part of it is that the factory tab is solely based on the output stations and if you have mixed goods going to the output station the factory tab possibly gets messed up.

Your first paragraphs would be interesting, but doesn't seem to work the way you're suggesting. I just went to a factory and removed a worker from an input station and then the station stopped adding more then I left the factory and the production stopped and the factory tab said "not running" due to missing products and the inventory stopped increasing.

I'm not sure what you're saying in your second paragraphs. The splitter is used to feed multiple machines that have different timings. Jewelry for example... the laser cutter takes twice as long as the the other machines so your input feeds to a splitter with two laser cutters then a single polisher and single consumer goods machine. Or can be used to send, like metal bands, to different consumer good machines.

Well i thought i could use the splitter to produce them more and faster?
Max out those machines, still i can build more of them elsewhere but i’m far away from meeting my own needs for the fast food joints at this point, my produced icecream so far is more like a reserve until i’m able to produce more of it, in case of shortages but even then a too small quantity of it.

You are correct with that and it's something we're looking into!

Correct!

I got my funny stuff edited out....
It was from South Park, one episode with Butters "work Mexican, work", it´s a song.
