Objectives

  • Wire >= 40.0/min
  • Iron Plate >= 20.0/min
  • All inputs connected
  • Alternate: Iron Wire >= 40/min
  • Retire Wire
  • Retire Copper Ingot
  • Mission constraints

Briefing from ATA

Your copper delivery has stopped. The plate and wire orders have not. Convert the wire branch to Iron Wire and share the remaining sixty iron ore per minute. Keep twenty plates and at least forty wire per minute available. Remove the obsolete copper smelter. Whole machines at one hundred percent clock are enough.

Mission constraints

  • Iron Ore: 60/min available
  • Available recipes: Alternate: Iron Wire, Copper Ingot, Iron Ingot, Iron Plate, Wire.
  • Available buildings: Constructor, Smelter.
  • Par time: 4:00 · a guide, not a deadline
  • Clock limit: 100%. Every goal can be met with whole machines at 100%. No fractional counts or precise clock tuning needed.
  • Remove obsolete machines, or change their recipe. An idle old recipe still counts as an unfinished retrofit.
  • No Somersloops.
  • Output targets count surplus available after your factory's own consumption.

Need a nudge?

Hint 1

The copper smelter has no supply. Iron Wire uses the same iron ingots as your plate branch.

Hint 2

Use two smelters, one plate constructor, and two Iron Wire constructors at 100%. The plate branch needs 30 ingots and the wire branch needs 25, within the 60/min supply.
