Industries & chains / Field record

Build a documented production chain end to end

The released manual lists required inputs, outputs and optional boosters for 32 free-game industries. Some cargo and industry tables disagree, so disputed relationships remain held rather than becoming guessed recipes.

Quick facts

Documented answer
The released manual lists required inputs, outputs and optional boosters for 32 free-game industries. Some cargo and industry tables disagree, so disputed relationships remain held rather than becoming guessed recipes. ↗
Official manual / Unresolved input grouping

Check the rule before building the chain.

Plan the legs ↗

The official free-game rule names Sheet Metal, Fish and Meat, but its OR grouping is unresolved. These are documented cargo names, not a confirmed simultaneous recipe. The Canning Factory record remains held.

EVIDENCE CHECK

Read the official OR wording and compare the recipe in your installed industry window before supplying this facility. No alternative grouping, quantity or runtime recipe is inferred. Compare sources ↗

Official Industries & Cargo manual · Last verified October 2, 2026 · Release-build version: Unknown.

Procedure

Choose a demanded output and follow its industry's required inputs to their producers. Build and verify each transport handoff, including warehouse transfers where needed. Add optional boosters only after the required chain works and its output has a reachable consumer.

Diagnose the result

If production stops, inspect required stocks before worker or booster supply. If output accumulates, inspect pickup and final demand. For Canning Factory's ambiguous input grouping or Fertilizer's disputed producer, read the conflict note and the live facility rather than assuming a ratio.

Common mistake

Turning an ambiguous printed recipe into a confident input-output formula.

Evidence and version scope

The cited official manual supports the documented interface and mechanics. The procedure above is editorial guidance for inspecting your own save; it is not a claim of a tested speedrun or a guaranteed outcome. Record your installed version, gameplay settings and mods when comparing results. Release-build version: Unknown.
