Before you go

Farming steps

  1. Build an Assembler and select Electromagnetic Control Rod.
  2. Connect Stators and AI Limiters to their separate inputs.
  3. At 100% clock, supply 6 Stators and 4 AI Limiters per minute for 4 Rods per minute.
  4. Keep an output belt or storage route clear.
  5. Send Rods to a listed consumer such as fuel rod or Magnetic Field Generator production.
  6. Check both input buffers to identify which ingredient is limiting output.

Repeat, collect and use

Balance both input streams with demand and expand the line that consistently limits output.

Common mistakes

  • Do not search for Control Rod deposits; manufacture them in an Assembler.
  • Do not expect 4 Rods per minute when either ingredient arrives below its required rate.

When to stop or switch

Stop adding production when planned consumers remain supplied without a persistent surplus.
