Set Up Batch Crafting for Efficient Production

Understanding Batch Crafting

Batch crafting pulls multiple sets of ingredients at once when your stock is ready. Instead of crafting one item at a time, your factory can prepare several batches in parallel, speeding up overall production.

Configuring Batch Sizes

When setting up a recipe in a gauge, you can request crafting ingredients in batches of up to a certain quantity. Larger batches mean fewer trips to gather materials, but require more storage space for intermediate items.

Combining with Follow Demand Mode

Enable follow demand mode on your gauge to trigger item creation only when current stock runs low. This prevents your factory from overproducing and filling your chests with excess items.

Together, batch crafting and follow demand mode create an efficient system: your factory waits until stock drops, then crafts multiple batches at once to refill. Adjust batch sizes based on your storage capacity and consumption rate.
