Parameters
- ↗Changed
Production starts with an ordered batch. With storage supply enabled, MAX becomes ∞: the order waits for materials and resumes when restocked. Without storage, MAX orders a finite quantity. Drones return unused inputs and outputs; orders and returns survive saves and are not lost when storage is full.
- ↗Changed
Smelters, printers and the transmutation basin produce only explicitly ordered batches: All / +10 / +1. Selecting a recipe or loading materials no longer starts production. Orders wait for supplies, survive saves and end on cancellation or recipe change; idle machines draw no power.
