Prove that one line can accept material, process it and deliver the output before expanding the production area.

Start with the material chain
Community factory guides describe processing collected dust through Pressure Chambers and Stone Presses, with sand and stone appearing in the production chain. Those guides are useful starting points, but their suggested machine ratios differ. We do not present a fixed ratio as verified.
Read the input and output labels on the machine you are placing. Give each material its own clear route until you understand what that machine expects. If a line fails, being able to point to the last successful transfer is much more useful than having an elaborate layout.
Build a small test line
Choose a clear area with room around each machine. Keep the first test deliberately short so you can follow one capsule from arrival to processing and onward delivery. Do not connect several unfamiliar branches at once: a failure then leaves too many possible causes.
- Check the machine labels and required resources in your game.
- Connect one source to one processing stage.
- Observe an input arriving and an output leaving.
- Connect the next stage only after the previous one works.
- Confirm the final output reaches a working destination.
Expand where material actually waits
A queue before a machine can suggest that stage needs more capacity; a machine waiting empty suggests the supply side needs attention. First rule out disconnected ports, missing power and an output that has nowhere to go. More machines cannot repair a missing connection.
A community catcher guide proposes one layout, but its comments dispute the ratio. Use that disagreement as a reminder to test your own throughput. Leave expansion space and add capacity gradually. This page is a diagnostic workflow rather than a copied factory blueprint or a benchmark from hands-on testing.
Common questions
What is the best factory ratio?
Public community proposals disagree, so we do not label one ratio as proven. Test a short line and expand the stage that consistently queues.
Does this guide include confirmed recipes or exact sale values?
No fixed recipe amounts or sale prices are claimed. Read the live machine screen because those details need further verification.

Checked: 2026-10-26. Official Steam details and patch notes take priority. Community reports are labeled. We have not independently play-tested the Steam game. Guides show sources and verification dates; later patches may change the advice.
