A central production facility in the initial stages of the game facilitates the automated creation of commonly used items. This setup typically involves a network of assemblers, belts, and inserters dedicated to crafting essential components like belts, inserters, miners, and basic ammunition. It significantly reduces the need for manual crafting, allowing for more efficient resource allocation and base expansion.
Implementing such a facility early offers several key advantages. It streamlines the procurement of building materials, accelerating technological advancement and infrastructure development. Historically, players adopted this approach to overcome the limitations of manual production, enabling faster scaling of factory output and a more focused approach to research and expansion.
