- When production pauses, inspect each of the four input lines before changing the machine settings.
- At 100% clock, the recipe uses 10 Modular Frames, 40 Steel Pipes, 10 Encased Industrial Beams, and 240 Screws per minute.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Manufacturer running while downstream demand exists; adjust input supply or clock to match that demand.
