Now that I have a facrory, I can see that seriously just for the gain in energy, and time /you/ waste refueling your machines, the factory is worth it. You put some condensed power stones in it - which you should have at lot of by then - and you're good for MONTHS. No need to go to almost every machines to check they still got fuel, which even with a helper or two it was still needed regularly.

You don't need all that wood anymore if you still were using it as combustible either, or the blue power stones (though you could still have one of two machine outside still), and you could now use wood entirely for other things if you want, crafting more furnitures to sell for instance, or more charcoal.

By the time you get the factory, you should already have imo a relatively good stock of all those bars and plates etc (at least 50/100 of each), so I don't really understand some people complains. It's not meant to be for quick/emergency processing of raw material, but more like to slowly but surely maintain that stock, without you wasting your time with the constent tending.

So gain of space and organization in your yard, and quite practical to have everything in one panel (no need to go to every machines to click on what you need to preocess), a second worktable just there too if needed, and access to the assembly station too... No more running all over your yard, no more wasting of precious time you could be spending doing other things.

This is great.
