Mega Factory?
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 11:14 pm
Looked through some of the stuff being worked on at the moment and saw some very nice things in the works, kudos to anyone that can do this kind of stuff 
.
Anyone know if a "Mega factory" would be feasible?
Basically it would be a larger than normal factory capable of making more than one thing at a time.
Not sure what a good balance would be, maybe 3 or 4 items max?
You could also make it that the more advanced models used the outputs internally.
Example: Lowest level machine could make copper wire and electronic circuits but you would have to re-insert the wire.
Highest level factory could make wire , circuits and one other thing but could automatically used the wire or circuits without a re-insertion.
These are of course examples, the machines could make recipes that had nothing to do with each other like inserters , train track and ammo at the same time.
In that case you would have to provide all the materials via belts or chests.
