Now I am curious about 2 things
1. is there any possibility for modding support in the future
2. will there away to add something like a map or some other way to make it harder for a player to lose something in the world.
You can mine it from scrap metal veins by holding right click or with a mining rig (you can look at the fifth picture in the description of the game to see what they look like).
I'm still working on it, studies are getting in the way, but progress is still being made
There is a small guide at the bottom of the game description here on itch for the cheat stuff. I also put out a small guide on some setups for automation on weightgaming.
1) You need to use logic gates. The way I used it is as follows:
It's slightly complicated, but if we for example take the fuel, I place the first gate, and make it read the fuel amount on the panel. The second gate is really close to only let one fuel at a time, and is reading the state of the first gate with the other panel, so that when the first one is closed, the second one is open and vise versa. For the ingredients it's basically the same, but instead of fuel level, you make it check if there's output. For something simpler you can actually check example images above, as provided by the creator of the game.
2) I've never had any problems with energy because I have this setup that always keeps my energies levels at an all high:
and if you need energy anywhere, just put a pylon or a substation there, and it should be good.
Hopefully this helps!
There are setups that help with these problems. I made a post on weightgaming that compiles a few of the most useful setups. It includes a setup for getting an exact amount of ingredients into a crafter, and 2 setups for keeping ovens fueled. Here is a link: https://forum.weightgaming.com/t/gain-factory-weight-gain-factory-builder/34726/...
The idea is to use logic gates to detect when the structure outputs the items and only then input the correct amount of items, but the post I linked explains it better.
Edit: hellwraiz beat me to the punch on answering, their setup is good too!
That sounds interesting! I still have to figure out how to use logic gates.
And, thank you for the help. Did found a work around the regents aligning problem but it's considerably more tedious than what I've been shown above.
No problem, it's good you figured it out!
The logic gates are either open or closed, and their state inverts when they detect an item at their source coordinates. You can manually invert the logic gate by control right clicking it, and you can set its source coords by control left clicking on a point while placing it. The logic gate can also read the state of an inspector panel, which works like a logic gate, except it detects properties of objects.
Hi, thank you for playing. When it comes to automatic aligning of structures, you can hold space while placing to place a structure next to another structure if your mouse is over the other structure's hitbox. I hope to make this more robust in the future, but even in its current state, it should be of help.
When it comes to item descriptions, I get that it isn't always the most clear how things work. I should probably rework a few of the descriptions to make the mechanics easier to learn.
I've been considering electric furnaces, but it would have to be late game stuff, probably the last machine you make, but I still haven't decided on the specifics, or if I'll actually add them. I have been worried that they would be too overpowered or that they would make the regular ovens fully obsolete.
i can also suggest upgrade version of logic gates, because even if i indersood how they work and finally set everything up, they can still let go 2 items from conveyer belts somehow if it on normal speed. I think everything could be much easier if there would combination like shift+right mouse at set gate that set it to let go only 1/2/3/how conveyer goes items per opening so it would be much easier to set automation. It is really extremely needful item imho because it is extremely not intuitive process to set it with just logic gates even if you read description. forum and saw some pictures of preset factory
Have you had 2 items go through the gate on a normal speed conveyor? If so, that is something that I'll have to fix. I think the logic gate itself works fine, but it is the case that some setups are pretty difficult to figure out (especially for the oven where fuel is an ingredient). I'll see what I can do to make automation easier to understand in the future.
Yes, so the logic gates have a source (set by control left clicking on a position), and when there is an item at the source position, it opens. It can also detect the state of the inspector panel which in turn can detect most other things. You can invert the logic gate by control right clicking it after it has been placed.
I think you do understand the gates, I think you were just having some trouble with the output count of the recipe.
So the fuel pellet recipe outputs 2 and not 1, that means that the gate will be open long enough for 2 items of porcelain to go through at that belt speed. You can fix this by making the output belt twice as fast, or by making a splitter setup at the output belt, so that the gate detects half the number of items.
I would also advise you to make the output belt longer, so that you don't get weird timings and stuff. If the funnel is trying to place items where the gate is detecting, it could result in the belt only detecting "half" the item, meaning that it doesn't detect the item's full passage, and it could result in the gate staying open less than it should.
i ve tried that, get rid of funnels, set new conveyer, made conveyer x2 speed ( i ve tried that before, but with funnel) and... it still sometimes messes up because logic gate let 2 glowy things through. I have no idea how, but this is really uncomfortable. But it definetely works better now, now it takes more time for it to completely stop working.
splitter version. Partially worked i think. Now there goes only 1 glow. but 2 starch instead of 3. UPDATED. I set speed to green(x4) and it started working as was planned. I have no idea why. 
It's good you got it to work.
I tried to replicate your setup, and it seems to work without a splitter as well:
Both of the gates are taking the same point on the output belt as source. The output belt is at 2x speed, the porcelain belt is at 1x speed and the starch belt is at 3x speed. I ran the setup for 100 recipes, and it didn't seem to jam for me.
Btw, congratulations on automating nuclear fuel!
Updated2. Sometimes autocraft still fails. I just looked and craft isnt going, there is no glowy glazed parcelain in press. Which means that in one moment logic gate bugged and everything turned off.
From what I have tested when playing, and even before I released the game, the logic gate was pretty solid. The code is simple and it's probably not what is causing the problem. If you want to, you can send me the save data (either upload it here if it works, or on discord), that way I can look around and see what the problem is could be.
You can also add me on discord, that way I can help you easier. Discord: kittykillerkuriosity
The waffles are supposed to have priority over the biscuits, so it's not supposed to become a biscuit if you put too much chocolate. I messed up on this one and the priority is wrong in the oven, but it's not impossible to craft waffles. To make it work, you'll have to use butter for fuel instead of chocolate.
I'll fix this in the next version.
I'm happy to hear
I get what you mean when it comes to the horizontal/vertical locking, and I think it would be useful.
When it comes to the font, I do agree that it's not the easiest to read. I can't draw the font on a smaller scale than the pixels of the game unless I change how a lot of things work, but I have been looking at changing the font so that it's more readable at least.
I have been working on making the game a lot more polished and convenient to play for the next update, so a lot of these things should be fixed.
