Module 1.1: Multi-Output Splitting
Plates & Rods
Open the factory to listen to ATA and work through the objectives at the same time.

Briefing from ATA
Excellent. You can smelt ore. FICSIT is... cautiously optimistic.
Now for something more interesting. You have a working smelter producing 120 Iron Ingots per minute. Your task: create Constructors to produce both Iron Plates AND Iron Rods.
Both recipes consume Iron Ingots, so you'll need to split your ingot supply between them. Pay attention to the output indicators — they'll tell you how supply is being distributed.

Mission constraints
- Iron Ore: 120/min available
- Available recipes: Iron Ingot, Iron Plate, Iron Rod.
- Available buildings: Constructor, Smelter.
- Par time: 2:00 · a guide, not a deadline
- No Somersloops.
- Output targets count surplus available after your factory's own consumption.
Need a nudge?
Hint 1
Add a Constructor with the Iron Plate recipe and link it to the Smelter's Iron Ingot output.
Hint 2
Add another Constructor with the Iron Rod recipe and link it too.
Hint 3
Both constructors will share the ingot supply from the smelter.
