Machines Question

[beebopper]

I currently have all tier 1 machines and just purchased my Tier 2 paper machine (Rrolled Paper)

My question is..

Is it better to have 1x tier 1 machine producing Pressed Paper and 1x Tier 1 with the tier 2 (Rolled Paper) Producing both papers to full-fill both types of paper contract?

So essentially 2 machines:

1x Pressed Paper
1s Rolled Paper

and if so... will this be the way to go for other types of waste?

thankyou in advance for the responses :)


PS: It would be great to see some examples of machine layouts or diagrams

Just chain them. start with the T1 to use ur scrap buckets on, and where that machine exits, u can attach the T2 enterance.

You really don't need T1 stuff to sell when u have T2. Throw back into the recycle machine or sell it off in contracts. You really won't go backwards for lower tiers imo.

Same thing when u get T3, you really won't need to sell T2 anymore.

One thing i want to add, line up your machines's final exit to be on a single conveyor and have it lead near the stack of pallets. Having a main line with a few different exits near the pallets is looking like a time save, but i haven't fully optimized it after adding most T3 machines.

Good news, conveyors are nice to the player, buying and selling seems to always be $100 so u can play around and change whenever u want. So glad they do not have a selling penalty.

this is my current Ti set up with the the mail conveyor belt going to my storage whilst all machines are connected to it.

I would advice that you have one splitter between each machine if you still havent unlocked the hybrid machines so that when required you can still redirect materials required for the license...

you would just redirect the flow with the lights when and as required...
but after that...


yea as the rest have said just sell the highest tier product.
you can always sell the belts and machines later

I've worked out i do need both the tier 1 and tier 2 machines atleaset whist upgrading... the licenses require tier 1 items. I'm not sure if they are needed afterwards as i'm not that far in.. i'm only doing tier 2 right now

This is my design, which involves creating a splitter for each level of production items and connecting them to a conveyor belt. If necessary, simply open the interface. In the middle, there are two conveyor belts divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer serves as a combiner to input the items that need to be mixed, while the upper layer collects and transports the first and second level items to the warehouse. There is also a conveyor belt behind the third level products to transport the third level products to the warehouse,

What an awesome idea!!!

1. how did you get to take your screenshots from higher up looking down??
2. can you please include a shot showing how the conveyor belt meets the storage warehouse?

as there are no tutorials.... i basically followed the machinery based on price.... my screenshot shows level 2 setup but i am not sure how to do a lifted higher looking down screenshot... but your shots have given me ideas!!

1. Just connect a conveyor belt from the machine as a corridor to the air, dismantle and install it at the same time, and then connect the conveyor belt to the side as a staircase when it reaches the air
2. I just built a row for all the machines, and in the future production, I designed them according to the first level one row, second level one row, and third level one row. Then, after the third level machine, a conveyor belt was connected from the machine farthest from the warehouse to the warehouse. The exits of the first and second level machines were respectively equipped with splitters to connect a conveyor belt to the warehouse,
