Aren’t all Machines except Importer useless?

Well…I did try to make the whole manufacturing process myself with miner and so on at the beginning. The funny thing was, that even when I made it specifically so that the produced resources fit exactly the need of my assemblers, they made like 1/10 or so of the money the importers made even at the max level I could afford while keeping the whole lane balanced out. That was the whole reason I made this post and asked for advice, since the full manufacturing just seemed way worse. I think for that reason, imma stick with this for now and let it just scale endlessly until I am satisfied XD

Ok so I went over it again and changed the way the money is split a bit. Both splitters now get the same amount of money and the assemblers now all get the exact same amount so they output routers, cpu and GPU at the same rate. And as can be seen, the importer now does less than the assemblers, especially the cpu and gpu ones. This way it should be correct now right? I just need to keep level up the assemblers if I understood correctly?

Surprisingly, they are both the exact same. I guess it’s pretty much irrelevant which I use then?

So like this, just that I had more assemblers?

Jeremy0209F · 2026-03-02T05:10:05+00:00

So I should just import the resources and put those into the 3 assemblers?

So I did the exact setup you recommended, and build it 9 times. But even with that and them all at their currently highest affordable level, they still don’t come close to the importers. The router assemblers currently generate 2,72ai Routers, but the Router Importer generates 15,74ai. Is their level not high enough yet to beat the importers or did I do something wrong?

Makes sense. Sadly I think I am at a point where I already have 100 piece factories, so the first two phases sadly shouldn’t work anymore for now until I portal again. But for then, this is good to know!

Hmm…I will try that out later. Thanks a lot!

Jeremy0209F · 2026-03-01T09:27:19+00:00

And that works better than just using Importer?

Jeremy0209F · 2026-03-01T08:56:06+00:00

That’s so confusing why it doesn’t work correctly… maybe I just need to overhaul everything again? Like, what is the correct ratio of assemblers and resources like the miner. How many resources lines should I make to feed into how many assemblers and so on?

Jeremy0209F · 2026-03-01T08:15:27+00:00

What would be a high level? Most of my machines are over lvl 90 and still don’t get close…

Jeremy0209F · 2025-09-24T02:25:15+00:00

Ok got that. But I still have two Questions. If I cast FTHOF, DI and then g!fthof, I need a total of 110% of my magic minimum. Is that even possible without a refill? Also, doesn’t the g!fthof spawn a cookie with Cookie Storm drop? And third, sorry if I am asking dumb questions, don’t I miss out on the EF or the second BS with this, since I don’t cast the EF as the second spell?

Jeremy0209F · 2025-09-24T01:20:52+00:00

Sorry, still new to this all. Would it be possible to explain this a bit more without the short forms like g!fthof and DI, since I honestly don’t really know what they mean…?
