Guide

Polymer Board is a processed raw material manufactured in a casting machine from Liquid Polymer. As a key intermediate, it forms the backbone of many advanced production lines in the factory.

Its central role is evident in its wide usage across higher-tier machinery, robots, and essential infrastructure components. Polymer Board is a required part for items such as Operator Bot, Farmer Robot Head, Assembly Line Logistics Container, Fluid Assembler I, Chemical Processor, Cleaning Bot, Construction Site Decor, Construction Ship Port, Construction Warehouse, CPU, Data Cable, and Data Evaluator.

With a generous stack size, Polymer Board can be stockpiled efficiently, but maintaining a steady supply is crucial for uninterrupted assembly of advanced products. Careful management of upstream Liquid Polymer production is necessary to prevent bottlenecks.

Tips

• Ensure a reliable and consistent flow of Liquid Polymer to your casting machines to avoid production slowdowns. Any interruptions upstream can quickly impact Polymer Board output.
• As demand for Polymer Board grows with factory expansion, consider scaling up both your Liquid Polymer supply and the number of casting machines dedicated to this process.
• Optimize your factory layout by placing casting machines near both Liquid Polymer sources and the assemblers that consume Polymer Boards. This minimizes transport time and streamlines logistics.
• Balance your casting machine count with available Liquid Polymer to prevent idle machines or resource starvation. Monitoring throughput can help identify when to expand production capacity.

FAQ

Is there a workaround for the Liquid Polymer input issue in the Casting Machine?

If you encounter inconsistent Liquid Polymer delivery, try increasing buffer tank capacity or using additional pumps to maintain steady input. Optimizing pipe layout and minimizing distance from Liquid Polymer sources to casting machines can also help reduce input interruptions.
