Output limitation Foundry

Post by Hopscotch1337 »

Hi Engineers,

I am coming to the endgame, and want to make my final smelting setup. On foundry is making about 6k molten Iron per second. Can I have unlimited input in pipes and output from foundries?
did not find anything on that topic.

Greetings,
Hops

As long as your fluid network is not bottlenecked by pumps, the throughput is unlimited with the new system.

A single machine is limited to 6,000/s of fluid intake or output.

Also worth noting, while pipe throughput is unlimited, there is a limit to how many pipes you can physically connect to the network without segmenting them off with something like a pump. For a large foundry array, it's possible you could hit that pipeline extent limit.

I've probably connected 100 foundrys to two lines (1x copper 1x iron) and it works perfectly. As far as I can see, this is only a problem if you need pumps.
