Talk:Assembly Station/@comment-140891-20190208021616

There is really no reason upgrading from lv2 to lv3. Suppose you now have a factory where every intermediate materials can be automated, you'd be shocked to find that the lv3 assembly station doesn't auto-make parts from factory. The automatic assembly (left) platform still requires all parts to be already made, yet also requires an hour (lv2 blueprint) to "automatically" assemble... instead of I can just take the parts myself and use the manual platform to assemble with a fraction of that time.

Save yourself from the additional required space, the mats, and the headache of lv3 assembly station by not upgrading. You're welcome.
