Im cirrently on Tier 2, I have not built the Space elevator yet, but I have really big problems with the assemblers
So, I currently have 2 iron Plants: 1 with a 120/min drill, going into 3 smelters, 2 of them producing iron Plates and 1 being split into iron rods and the iron cast screws
And now I built a second plant from right besides it with 180/min, going into 6 30/min smelters, however even the mk2 conveyor bottlenecks the smelters
However even this way I still only produce enough screws for the rotors, so I still need another 60/min for the reinforced plates
So since I dont have a third iron node by the next 300m my only options are basically to either turn the whole plant into a plate and rod plant each and get a third one from somewhere to get the screws, or I can just redirect the screws from the other plant and let the rotors lag behind
If anyone had other ideas, I would appreciate it
Also, as a bonus: How in Ficsits godforgiven name can I scale these assemblers? Like, If I need 2 Iron entire Pure grade iron plants to build even 1 assembler for each, and the mk2 smelters and stuff only unlock once I got to Tier 3 or 4 already, how can I realistically even finish the Space Elevator project?
You will have to build long ass belts until you get trains. So make the belt.
now Thats just great
do you have an idea how many of those plants I probably need to effectively do the space elevators phase 1?
If you want to really nerd out on the balancing/belt counts/everything there’s a ton of different calculators online where you can input what you want and they’ll spit out how many machines you need for everything.
Or you can do like I did, just mess around until you have something remotely sensible with some spaghetti on top and have fun while doing it ;)
