Factory guide / Getting started

Build your first
working factory.

Give the Stone Press both ingredients.
Then follow the stone all the way to the base.

One press. Two ingredients.

Start with the route

Some dust becomes sand. Some stays untreated. Both must reach the Stone Press before the line can make stone.

01

Place the machines.

Start with a Pressure Chamber and a Stone Press. Leave room to inspect their ports and extend the line.

02

Connect the sand route.

Send dust through the chamber. Take its sand output to the press’s sand input.

Dust→Chamber→Sand
03

Keep a raw-dust route.

The press also needs untreated dust. Keep a separate path to its dust input instead of processing everything into sand.

Raw dust→Press dust input
04

Connect the exit.

Supply power and give stone a clear route out. Follow a completed batch until it reaches the base.

Stone→Clear exit→Base

Your first line is working when…

  • Sand reaches the press.
  • Raw dust reaches its other input.
  • Powered machines complete a cycle.
  • Finished stone reaches the base.
