Overview

Bot Part Factory is a production building that manufactures components used to assemble bots. It occupies a 3×3 flat surface footprint and processes raw materials into three different bot part recipes: Bot Limbs, Bot Heads, and Bot Chassis. Only one recipe may be active in a given factory at a time; the building switches to a different part only when its selected production recipe is changed.

Production output differs by recipe: in the same amount of work time a single factory produces 4 Bot Limbs, 1 Bot Head, or 1 Bot Chassis. Because those outputs are not equal in quantity, multiple factories should be assigned recipes with their differing yields in mind to avoid bottlenecks in bot assembly.

  • Balance factories across recipes. Three Bot Part Factories, each configured to produce a different part, yield exactly the right quantities to fully supply two Bot Assemblers working concurrently.
  • If Bot Assemblers stall or idle, check the Bot Part Factory supply chain first: imbalances are normally caused by factories producing the wrong mix of parts or by interruptions in raw-material delivery.
  • Place factories on reliable transport routes (conveyor/logistics or worker paths) and near storage to minimize downtime caused by material shortages.
  • The building was originally introduced as Golem Part Factory and later renamed Bot Part Factory in a subsequent update.
