Satisfactory: how to make a factory expandable

A good layout should allow access to the equipment and the addition of a new line. A beautiful view is useful when it does not interfere with maintenance.

Divide the stages

Designate a place for raw materials, processing and finished parts to arrive. Leave passages and a few points for further expansion. Before major construction, check one small module: whether it has enough incoming materials and whether the transport can cope with the exit.

Count the entire chain

Compare the speed of production, delivery and consumption. Excessive numbers of machines may appear productive, but remain idle due to one limited input. Check the electrical system separately, especially before connecting a new large unit. Line names and designations help avoid confusion between intermediate products.

Save your work area

Before moving an existing line, prepare a replacement and test it. Don't tear down an entire source of important parts just for a new ribbon design. After connecting, observe the full cycle of operation. If the change worsens the flow, return the previous circuit and change the next section separately.
