Wait, the button to add a factory is INVISIBLE?!?!?!

That explains why I got stuck...

Edit: NVM apparently even having 3 factories to try and produce metal plates, showing 1.2/s means 0 production. Same with copper actually.

invisible or disabled? yeah its max theoretical production based on the factory assignments, so if you have some bottleneck downstream you would need to fix that to get the theoretical rate

I can click it, and numbers change, it's just that I had to use the tab trick to highlight the invisible button.

Theoretical is cool and all, but how do I bottleneck iron plates? Isn't that the first thing for factories?

You can make iron ore + coal (energy for lvl1 drill and furnace) for the iron plates manually until you have a drill to mine them automatically

Oh it needs energy.

Any reason there's no empty energy gauge/bar on the Iron plate recipe thing?

I see the recipe requires raw iron, so when I get that and nothing happens I think the game is just broken.

Recipe doesnt require energy but the furnace does If you click or hover on the furnace it will say “Operational requirement” coal

Ill have to think of a better way to communicate this or not use this in the full game version recipes

Well you need energy indirectly to create the item. I assume later in the game there's more efficient energy sources, but maybe say the general amount of energy units itself is required to generate the thing?
