Getting Started with Automation

Setting Up Your First Production Line

Begin by building a power source—either a Windmill or Steam Engine—to avoid manual Hand Crank operation. Next, place a Grinder, Mechanical Press, or Mechanical Mixer to process raw items into more useful forms.

Use Conveyors to transport processed items automatically. Route them through Item Splitters and Funnels to sort and distribute items into Wooden Containers for storage.

Once your system is running, connect Item Readers or Item Counters to Nixie Tubes using colored Cables to monitor your production in real time. This visual feedback helps you track what's being processed and stored, making it easy to spot bottlenecks or adjust your setup as needed.
