The '''Stage 1''' column simply shows the input raw materials necessary to maintain full-rate production. By totaling the sum of all materials listed in the first column, the user can know how much supply is required to set up a full-rate production factory to produce the end product. In ''Example | The '''Stage 1''' column simply shows the input raw materials necessary to maintain full-rate production. By totaling the sum of all materials listed in the first column, the user can know how much supply is required to set up a full-rate production factory to produce the end product. In ''Basics Example'' above, it lists 60 Stone, so the user knows they need to maintain a supply of 60 stone per minute to their Stone Brick factory to maintain full-rate production. | ||

Each further stage shows a production facility and resulting output. The quantities listed represent what can be achieved in one minute if the building receives all of the inputs listed in the previous stage. In ''Example | Each further stage shows a production facility and resulting output. The quantities listed represent what can be achieved in one minute if the building receives all of the inputs listed in the previous stage. In ''Basics Example'' above, it shows that 1 Smelter can produce 60 Stone Bricks per minute if it is provided uninterrupted supply of 60 Stone per minute. | ||

The right-most stage in the chart represents the final step in producing the end product. While it is functionally no different than other production stages, all of the listed products must be stored or distributed at this point to avoid clogging the production line. | The right-most stage in the chart represents the final step in producing the end product.

=== Recycling === | |||
There are some cases where some output items need to be recycled to an earlier stage in the production line. To indicate this in the chart, the recycled product is listed below the regular production, with an arrow to indicate where it is recycled into the line. In the example below, in Stage 3 the 2 oil refineries produce 30 Energetic Graphite and 90 Hydrogen per minute, but 45 Hydrogen must be recycled into the 2 Oil Refineries (along with the 30 Refined Oil and 15 Hydrogen from Stage 2) to maintain production. This leaves 30 Energetic Graphite and 45 Hydrogen as the final product available for distribution. | |||

== Tips and tricks == | |||
=== Scaling === | === Scaling === | ||
Charts are generally listed at the lowest denomination which provides full efficiency. To scale up the quantity, a user can simply multiply all quantities of items and buildings by the appropriate integer to get the output they desire. In ''Example | Charts are generally listed at the lowest denomination which provides full efficiency. To scale up the quantity, a user can simply multiply all quantities of items and buildings by the appropriate integer to get the output they desire. In the ''Basics Example'', simply multiply by 10, and a factory of 10 Smelters can produce 600 Stone Brick per minute if supplied with 600 Stone per minute. | ||
Scaling down is more difficult, as it will generally lead to inefficiency and sometimes extra items at certain stages that will have to be disposed of to avoid clogging. In ''Example | Scaling down is more difficult, as it will generally lead to inefficiency and sometimes extra items at certain stages that will have to be disposed of to avoid clogging. In the ''Basics Example'' above, cutting to 10% of the listed production can be done by only supplying 6 stone per minute to produce 6 stone bricks, but the single smelter cannot be reduced, and thus the smelter will spend most of the time not working. | ||
