The Spray Coater's storage holds sprays instead of Proliferator items, which get converted to sprays when entering. Each type of Proliferator gives a different amount of sprays per Proliferator item consumed, but the Spray Coater's storage capacity is always 600 sprays. If its storage is full, or the entering Proliferator is a different type than the one already stored, the entering Proliferator will simply pass through the Spray Coater. | The Spray Coater's storage holds sprays instead of Proliferator items, which get converted to sprays when entering.

If [[Automatic Piler|stacked cargo]] passes through the Spray Coater, the Proliferator is applied to the entire stack at once, using sprays equal to the number of items in the stack. | If [[Automatic Piler|stacked cargo]] passes through the Spray Coater, the Proliferator is applied to the entire stack at once, using sprays equal to the number of items in the stack. If a stack is sprayed, the power consumption of the Spray Coater increases proportional to the stack size. | ||
Spray Coaters can be installed directly onto a conveyor belt (even one that is in the air), or vertically stacked. The base stacking limit is 7, increased by 3 per each level of the [[Vertical Construction (Upgrade)|Vertical Construction]] upgrade, up to a maximum of 25. It is worth noting that once 25 Spray Coaters are stacked, conveyor belts will not be able to automatically provide Proliferators to the topmost Spray Coater (as belts cannot be constructed this high); the player must manually provide the Proliferator to the 25th Spray Coater. | Spray Coaters can be installed directly onto a conveyor belt (even one that is in the air), or vertically stacked.

In addition, Spray coaters will distribute power between themselves if build on top of each other, exceeding the usual maximum for power distribution height, similar to Matrix Labs. | ||
Note that a Spray Coater will only consistently spray all passing items when the power grid is fully saturated. | |||
