Guide
Paint is crafted in the chemical processor using Low Density Olumite, Olumite Gas, and Water. Its main function is to allow players to color and decorate factory elements, making it easier to organize complex layouts and visually manage large production systems.
As factories expand, the need for paint grows quickly, especially in late-game stages where large areas and many machines require color coding. This surge in demand can turn paint into a supply bottleneck if not planned for early.
Centralizing paint production may seem efficient at first, but it often leads to logistics headaches as your base grows. Distributing paint production closer to where it is needed can help avoid long transport routes and reduce strain on your logistics network.
Tips
- Set up decentralized paint production near major construction or expansion zones to cut down on transport time and ease logistics pressure.
- Anticipate late-game paint requirements by scaling up production capacity ahead of time, preventing shortages when demand spikes.
- Batch painting tasks by grouping similar elements or focusing on high-traffic areas first to streamline the process and minimize repetitive work.
- Use paint to clearly distinguish different production lines or zones, which makes troubleshooting and maintenance much easier as your factory grows.

FAQ
Is painting robots required for all production or only for certain uses?
Painting robots is only necessary when you want to visually organize or differentiate specific production lines or areas. It is not a requirement for the basic operation of machines or robots, but it can help with managing complex layouts.
Are there future plans for bulk or area painting tools to address player pain points?
There is ongoing discussion among players about adding bulk or area painting tools, but no official confirmation has been provided by the developers yet. Current painting tasks must be managed with the available tools.
