Objectives

  • Iron Plate >= 10.0/min
  • Screws >= 40.0/min
  • All inputs connected

Briefing from ATA

You have a working iron line producing plates and rods. Good.

Now you need Screws. Screws are made from Iron Rods in a Constructor. This is your first intermediate product — Iron Rods are consumed to produce Screws, rather than being a final output.

Add a Screw Constructor and connect it to your Rod output. The Rod constructors will need to share their output between your existing needs and the new Screw production.

Mission constraints

  • Iron Ore: 120/min available
  • Available recipes: Iron Ingot, Iron Plate, Iron Rod, Screws.
  • Available buildings: Constructor, Smelter.
  • Par time: 1:30 · a guide, not a deadline
  • No Somersloops.
  • Output targets count surplus available after your factory's own consumption.

Hint 1

Add a Constructor with the Screw recipe.

Hint 2

Link it to the Rod Constructor's Iron Rod output.

Hint 3

Screws need 10 Iron Rods/min per constructor. Check if your rod supply is sufficient.
