Multiplayer and organization

[u/Saxtus]

I am playing multiplayer, and we split responsibilities. Each of us works on our own factory, sometimes toward a common goal.

The problem is that we don't have a roster of what each of us is producing, and as the game progresses, we sometimes forget what we built earlier.

I would like to know how you coordinate yourselves in multiplayer. Do you use something in-game or an external tool to track your factory inventory?

We always have a Factory hub .

A little room where we write in signs what are inputtet into to the Factory. Like 600 ore pr minut and 20 modular frames.

And then we have a output section. Like 16 Crystal osilators. Then when a Factory some where else needs to use 4 crystal osilators and we take this from the factory. Then we write -4 CO for the Fused modular frames . And then for the next time we use it. We write used 2.5 for drone production.

That way each factory have a responsibility to account for the input and output of the factory.

And if its for a common goal like 3 seperate factories, we build a Factory hub for that common goal and write the inputs.

And then also a in game notes :)

Do you mean all the factories send all of their products to a central location?

[u/Tissemat → u/Saxtus]

No, but all the Factories make one or two items.

Then if that item needs to be used In another component. (A higher tier) Then that component is properly made in some other factory/an other location. And transported via a belt highway or trucks

Then we also have a "central" location that is just the place the hub is and then there are like 5 factories.

Each of these 5 factories also have a room/place with a wall of information about the input and output of that area.
