America Mission #7

[GregoryDB]

Playing through the Campaign and I am on America Mission #7 where i now need to delilver machines to the space agency...However to make machines I need Planks, Steel, and Plastic. I have an abundance of the last too, but i can't find a lumber camp, or a lumber mill on the map anywhere. Is it bugged? Anyone else have this problem? Is there something i'm supposed to do to get it going somehow? Can't beat the mission now :(

Open the Industries tab, find the sawmill in it, then click.

hey there, from memory you can use the planks OR the steel with plastic so just rum plastic and steel into the plant for your machines.

This is a scenario - the rules for making machines are different.

Check the requirements by cllicking on the factory.

To make machines, you only need Steel and Plastics. There are two separate recipes. You can deliver either Planks and Steel OR Steel and Plastics, your choice, but there really is only one choice in this situation. In this case, you just need Steel and Plastics, which are both produced on the map.

Normally the campaign factories are modified for the needs of the mission compared to the factories from Freeplay, but this one includes the usual recipes.

For tools you need either 2 planks OR 1 steel.
For machines, it's (2 planks AND 1 steel) OR (1 Steel AND 1 Plastics)

So when there are no planks available, it's as follows:
1 steel for tools
1 steel AND 1 plastics for machines

Edit: Stoopid me had the two commodities the wrong way around - thanls to SBGaming for pointing out my error.

ChunkHunter, you got that bacakwards. Tools are the easier of the two to produce, requiring just planks or Steel whereas Machines are the more complicated of the two, requiring two of the three goods. For those who didn't catch it, the posted screenshot was from this particular mission.

I have this problem that shortly after finishing deliveries of building materials my stone iron and coal mines just stop producing anything. They are making like 2 units per year and sometimes not even that. With no coal and iron i cant make steel so i cant make machines also. Conclusion is i cant finish that mission and scenario. Is it a bug or me doing it wrong
