Prove the whole production chain
Community guides describe a Factory Supply Depot, factory workers, Purchasing Agents, Logistics Managers, drivers, vehicles, pallet shelves, and store receiving capacity. The official storefront does not publish fixed 1.0 recipes or rates.
Factory production only helps when its output has storage, transport, and a compatible place to sell it. Community guides describe warehouse factories and a Factory Supply Depot, but recipes and labels can change. Start with a small batch and follow the actual product through the current production, storage, and delivery screens.
Treat the factory as a chain with a beginning and an end. Inputs must arrive, workers and machines must be active, output needs room, and a store must be able to sell it. Do not scale machines before one product completes that entire route in the live version of the game.
The practical goal is testing a warehouse-based factory with one product, one machine, factory workers, and a complete purchasing-to-store chain before expanding.
Follow inputs through saleable output
| Decision point | What to inspect | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs | Correct materials are present and reachable | Feeds production |
| Process | Required objects and workers are active | Creates output |
| Output | Finished goods have free storage | Prevents blockage |
| Distribution | A route and matching seller exist | Turns output into sales |
Trace the production chain
Open the current production interface in the warehouse building and note the displayed product, machine, inputs, and output.
Check whether the current game offers the machine or related equipment through the Factory Supply Depot named in community guides.
Provide a small input batch and assign the factory workers shown as required by the live interface.
Connect purchasing, warehouse storage, a Logistics Manager, driver, vehicle, and compatible store destination one link at a time.
Watch the output reach pallet storage and then the store before adding another product or machine.
Find the blocked factory link
Avoid filling every input or output space during the first run. A limited batch makes it easier to see whether the failure is production, storage, transport, or the selling destination.
Use the live production screen for the current input and output. If finished goods cannot leave storage, more machines only create the same blockage sooner.
- Using an old recipe without checking the current interface
- Scaling machines before a single chain completes
- Allowing finished goods to block because storage is full
- Producing items without a compatible retail destination
The depot, roles, and warehouse setup come from community material and may differ after updates. Read the live production and staffing screens before making a large purchase.
Questions players ask
What should I produce first?
Choose an output you can already store, transport, and sell. A technically valuable item is not useful if the rest of the chain is absent.
Why did production stop?
Check the product input, active machine and factory workers, pallet storage, then the Logistics Manager, driver, vehicle, and destination in that order.
When should I expand the factory?
After one product can repeat from input through warehouse storage to a store, and the destination can absorb more output.
Do more machines guarantee more factory profit?
No. More production can worsen a shortage of inputs, output storage, transport, or retail demand. Prove that one machine's output can leave the chain before multiplying it.
