Objectives

  • Iron Plate >= 10.0/min
  • Reinforced Iron Plate >= 5.0/min
  • All inputs connected

Briefing from ATA

Pioneer, it's time to graduate from single-input buildings.

The Assembler combines two different inputs into a more complex product. Reinforced Iron Plates require Iron Plates AND Screws.

Your existing factory produces plates and screws. Add an Assembler with the Reinforced Iron Plate recipe and connect both inputs.

Two inputs. One output. Don't mix them up — we've seen it happen.

Mission constraints

  • Iron Ore: 180/min available
  • Available recipes: Iron Ingot, Iron Plate, Iron Rod, Reinforced Iron Plate, Screws.
  • Available buildings: Assembler, Constructor, Smelter.
  • Par time: 2:00 · a guide, not a deadline
  • No Somersloops.
  • Output targets count surplus available after your factory's own consumption.

Hint 1

Add an Assembler with the Reinforced Iron Plate recipe.

Hint 2

RIP needs Iron Plates (30/min) and Screws (60/min) per assembler.

Hint 3

Link the Plate Constructor's output to the Assembler's Iron Plate input.

Hint 4

Link the Screw Constructor's output to the Assembler's Screw input.
