Before you go
- Unlock the Rotor recipe and Assembler.
- Iron Rods and Screws.
Farming steps
- Produce or collect Iron Rods and Screws for the line.
- Place an Assembler and select Rotor.
- Connect the two ingredient feeds and check their rates.
- Run the Assembler and collect each Rotor output.
- Deliver Rotors to Motor, Smart Plating, or the relevant equipment recipe.
- Expand screw production if the Rotor machine repeatedly starves.
- Each batch consumes five Iron Rods and twenty-five Screws for one Rotor.
- Keep some output in reserve if multiple downstream recipes share the same Rotor supply.
Repeat, collect and use
Review Rotor demand and ingredient throughput as consumers are added, then scale the limiting input and assembly capacity.
Common mistakes
- Searching for Rotors in a resource deposit rather than manufacturing them.
- Assuming an Iron Rod surplus can make up for missing Screws.
When to stop or switch
Stop adding Rotor production when all intended consumers receive the required steady flow.
