Guide

Conveyor Slope I is a key logistics component that enables items to move vertically or along an incline within your factory. This allows for more flexible layouts, letting you route materials over obstacles or between different elevation levels.

As an upgrade from basic conveyors, Conveyor Slope I is essential for expanding your transport network beyond flat surfaces. It also forms the foundation for higher-tier slopes, which require the previous tier as part of their construction.

A common friction point is the sequential upgrade chain, since each advanced slope depends on having a supply of the lower-tier version. Planning ahead for this progression can help avoid bottlenecks when scaling up your logistics.

Tips

  • Automate the crafting of Conveyor Slope I early, as it is a recurring requirement for both vertical transport and for producing higher-tier slopes.
  • Set up dedicated production lines for each conveyor upgrade tier. This helps prevent interruptions in your logistics chain when upgrading or expanding your factory.
  • Consider the stack size when producing Conveyor Slope I in bulk, especially if you plan to upgrade large sections of your transport network at once.
  • To minimize tedium, use buffer chests or storage to keep a reserve of Conveyor Slope I available for both immediate use and future upgrades.

FAQ

Is there a design reason for requiring previous-tier conveyors in higher-tier recipes?

Yes, higher-tier conveyor slopes require the previous tier as an ingredient to encourage gradual upgrades and maintain a progression system. This design choice helps ensure that players plan their logistics network and production lines thoughtfully, rather than skipping directly to advanced components.

Are there planned changes to streamline the conveyor upgrade process?

Developers have not announced specific changes to the conveyor upgrade process. Players interested in more efficient upgrades should automate lower-tier slope production and maintain a stockpile to minimize interruptions.
