What's a good, high production target for complex items.

[David 001]

I'm not maxing out the world, but I'm trying to build large factories to use a significant portion of the resources available. My STARTER STEEL was ~1200 ingots/m, I'm making a 5760/m quickwire factory currently, but I'm planning ahead.
I don't care if I don't use all of the parts, or that I should start small. What are some good, decent sized targets for producing expensive parts, a baseline for a megabase.

I was planning:
10 turbo motors/min (Too high or low?)
10 pressure conversion cubes/min (high or low?)
maybe 20 supercomputers/min?

Are these very high numbers or too low? I plan on scaling up afterwards, so this would be a "small" factory.

[Schobbob]

if you do 10 cubes and continue down that path you'll be busy for a long time, it's fun tho.

Generally I aim towards 10% of a stack per min as a rule of thumb.

[jdrake5839]

I usually plan my factories around the resources I have available and work up from there.

There's a page on the wiki that addresses max theoretical awesome points per minute. Take a look at that, and you'll have an upper bound for things like warp drives and ai expansion servers. It also has building counts required. You can then adjust downward to numbers that are reasonable for you.

[Bedna]

I calculate the theoretical max consumption, and then add 10-20% to that so if I need, there should be extra produced for me to pick to my inventory.

This goes for "normal" parts, not elevator parts, they just go straight to the elevator never to be seen again...

But to be honest, there has been quite a few occasions since 1.0 where I just go: "fk it, I just add summersloops to one of the machines and overclock the ♥♥♥♥ out of it"...

I had 24 pressure cubes/min, 28 turbo motors and 30 something supercomputers ready for tier 9. Ended up using only storage of what I had and deleted half of those factories for space. The other half continued to the sink. An industrial storage of nuclear pasta will get you through all tier 9 /phase 5. With somersloops, you only need a hundred or so rockets, a bit over 300 magnetic thingies and 500 assembly directors.

Ended up with so much extra, got over 55 million points/minute just on regular production.
A little disappointed at how light phase 5 turned out.

[Huren Ogeko]

I havent even got to phase 5 yet and I am already dissapponted at how easy it is.
if it were me then phase 5 requirements would be higher then the first 4 phases combined, maybe requiring all 6 of the space elevator ports to be used at the same time.

if you are just playing the game to finish it, those numbers are good. Even half that is fine. If you are doing mega factories multiply those numbers by at least 5.

Isn't 143 or so turbo motors the pre 1.0 maximum?

[kLuns]

It used to be 300 ish assembly director systems and 30 ish thermal propulsion rockets before 1.0

Well my posts did say about 50/min so almost a 3rd of hte max...

Good for you! That's an impressive feat.
