Automation Blueprints & Guides
Factory flowcharts, fluid piping circuits, and maximum throughput layouts.
How to use this directory
Every guide here is written against Version 1.0, the full release that shipped the Wagon Logistics System, Brew Barrel beverages, and the Workbench/Tech Tree split. If you are returning after playing Early Access, start with the beginner guide's first-hour build order, then check the recipes page — several of your old lines will need rerouting.
Sourcing standard: mechanics confirmed by the official 1.0 release notes are stated as facts. Community-reported behavior and unpublished figures are labeled as such — this directory does not invent specifications.
