CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Factory Cart™ acquisition

Use the Equipment Workshop when the Factory Cart™ recipe is available.

Craft the Factory Cart™ manually in the Equipment Workshop. Each cart requires 4 Reinforced Iron Plates, 4 Iron Rods, and 2 Rotors. Gather the full set of parts before opening the recipe, especially if those components are also committed to factory construction. The recipe identifies no automated production machine, so take the Workshop route rather than setting up an Assembler. Once crafted, collect the cart and decide where you want to use it. Prepare another complete set of ingredients for each additional cart.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

  • Factory Cart™ recipe available in the Equipment Workshop.
  • 4 Reinforced Iron Plates, 4 Iron Rods, and 2 Rotors for each cart.
  1. Gather 4 Reinforced Iron Plates, 4 Iron Rods, and 2 Rotors for one cart.
  2. Open the Equipment Workshop and find the Factory Cart™ recipe.
  3. Select the recipe and supply the complete ingredient set.
  4. Complete the manual craft and collect the Factory Cart™ from the Workshop.
  5. For another cart, gather another full set of all three ingredients and repeat.

Crafting tips

  • Check your Reinforced Iron Plate and Rotor reserves before using them for a cart.
  • The recipe’s listed ingredient rates are machine data; the cart itself is crafted manually in the Workshop.

Repeat, collect and use

Craft another cart whenever you have a full set of parts and want an additional one.

Common mistakes

  • Searching for the Factory Cart™ as a resource deposit.
  • Trying to feed the recipe into an Assembler instead of using the Equipment Workshop.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have enough carts or need to reserve the remaining parts for other construction.
