Slow Conveyor Input

[TheCollector]

I recently build an assembly machine to produce fabric, just to notice that it takes longer to get all the 16 flax into the machine via conveyor belt than to craft lots of fabric from hand.

The factory looks good on paper but feels clunky. Resource input fails too often and conveyor input is too slow.

While crafting an item, the operator should already collect the resources for next item. Waiting for resources after each item makes the machines slow.

You could place stacks of flax on the conveyor belt to speed things up, no need for single plants ... eg send 4, 8 or 16 flax at once ...

You didn'tput 2 belts of flax going into the machine, each from a different source?

I did, I used 2 of 3 slots from the garden storage ... it's just that 16 (!) input pieces per fabric is way too much for the slow conveyor belt.
