Hello,

let me try again.

Lets take your 4 Industrial Furnaces and use their Limit of 200 as the measurement. If you do it outside, you will most likely hook them to Generators and work then. Lets take Copper Bars as an example. It will take you 00:01:30 [dd:hh:mm] time to produce 1 bar. Scaling it up to 50 gives us 03:03:00. In the factory we get 40 Smelting Attributes. That means we can do 40 contracts for production. This means you only Need 5 Copper Bars per contract to reach the volume of 200. The result is that you easily get those copper Bars in less than a day.

Right now the downside is that you have to create 40 contracts to maximize parallel production. Second Problem is the ressource Management in a sense that the factory does not reserve ores for a certain contract. I think those two disadvantages can easily be corrected by the developers.

Right now I understand especially after the Frustration of my friend that the factory might not be user friendly, but it would be lying to say the factory is slower when you want to produce a specific item.
