Factory-, or dry bulk connection for cement?

[Catsander]

So I'm finally ready to start building the cement plant, but I'm basically wondering why there are two different outputs for the cement? Both factory connection and dry bulk connection? I suspect it has to do with the train cargo station only have factory connection or something like that, but I might as well ask if there is any other reason to pick the one over the other?

Or maybe I should just connect both to be on the safe side? =)

....? your input should be aggregate and your output should be drybuk/Cement....

You only will need 1 connection in and out dont overdo it

Any Building that needs cement you can attach via Factory connection and it will supply the cement for that factory... otherwise you need to use trucks or Drybulk mover transfer whatever Magigies

drybulk can be transported by conveyor or factory connection
you do not need both connections but you got the choice of which works better for you.
factory connection is cheaper but has a very limited range. if you build a silo right next to the cement plant it should be more cost efficviant. you can also use it to connect regular cargo stations (truck, train, ship)
the conveyor connection is some more expensive but you can build it basicly across the map if you desire so. so if there is a prefab plant half a kilometer away and you rather not have trucks run that distance all the time, a conveyor is the better choice. it can also go over roads, paths, rails and other conveyors if need be.

Dry bulk infrastructure was added only with aluminum update. Before that there was only cement and it used generic factory connections. They remain in all buildings for legacy compatibility.
