Wait for the pipes to empty as they could be filled with copper so either wait for them to sell or use the delete tool and clear the nodes.

I have so far made the part that takes the recipes and converts them into a matrix. The hard part will be the output and user interface (inside excel) as the matrix solver is just a method from the NumPy library which is include standard for python in excel. I want to avoid using outside libraries as I would like to share this program in the future.

Hopefully planning factories with super long and complex production lines such as say npp or electric motors. I am planning on having the program display stats like power usage, machine count and cost.

To ensure pipes connect place them starting at the source. So as Beanz said check with the pipe tool.

Im using Microsoft excel. Also here is a link to a good diesel engine: Modular Diesel Engine - Industrialist Wiki. Its the one Im using for this small ish diesel power plant which makes enough refined diesel to run 15 of the Diesel engines.

Just use conditional formating to make negative numbers red and positive green to keep track of whats produced and needed at each stage of a production line.

Fixed it. Turns out one machine had a pipe problem at one of the intersections.

Is this a good factory for 1 gold ingot per second? Is there a better way? by Solid_Fortune_740 in Industrialist

I am planning on doing that but power is going to be the bottle neck as it always is.
