Before you go
- Constructor and Screws recipe unlocked.
- Iron Rod input.
Farming steps
- Build or select a Constructor and connect power.
- Choose the default Screws recipe.
- Connect Iron Rods to its input and verify that the material is accepted.
- Route the output to storage or directly to an Assembler or Manufacturer that needs Screws.
- Watch the rod supply and adjust upstream Iron Rod production if the Constructor pauses.
- Add another Constructor only when the rod line and downstream demand can support it.
- Use a nearby container as a buffer if screw demand varies.
- Keep screw production aligned with the specific recipes consuming the parts instead of filling storage without a target.
- Alternate recipes such as Cast Screws and Steel Screws have different ingredients and rates; use them only if unlocked.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Constructor running while rods arrive and downstream demand or the storage target remains unmet.
Common mistakes
- Searching for Screws at an ore node; they are made from Iron Rods.
- Assuming a screw machine can run when the rod supply is already committed to other production.
When to stop or switch
Stop or reduce production when the destination stock target is met or Iron Rods are needed elsewhere.
