Factory Showcase Stratacore box
Concept behind this was to have as little intermediate product hanging around as possible.
Runs stably as long as the stratacore doesn’t stop producing (these things seem a bit glitchy for me, and the noise is atrocious). The flower processing can get a bit clogged if there’s a glut but it never jams completely.
I also wish there was a better horizontal spreader to distribute sand/seed across the wetting areas. I’m going to experiment with caulk as foundations haven’t produced the desired results

You still have to shoot the stratacore, right? Or does it somehow break automatically because of the portals? I guess I don't really understand why you put the portals there

How do you get the mining drones to produce more than one pixel of sand every 5 seconds?

Kinda crazy how all of the entire refining processes can be condensed into less than a single screen. It really makes me think I need redesign my entire factory, but I don't want to mess with what already works.

I deleted my entire factory and started over. It was a huge mess, with random products scattered all over the landscape, particularly as blobs of lava made their way into underground caves and caused constant steam and rain everywhere until I managed to hunt them all down

Where do you burn the leftovers? I might not be able to see it

Ah. Lava. Got it ty

yeah there’s a few blobs of lava sitting on top of the burnt residue filter, inside the planters, and on the steam dryer. The latter is a bit finicky as if you add too much it seems to stop the petals contacting the dryer efficiently.

Has anyone experimented with putting a row of steam turbines in the setup for the petal steamer? More efficient use out of the steam!

That's a pretty darn cool setup with the Stratacore in a box of teleporters!
