Factory Efficiency Guide
Find the limiting stage before adding Nightwater machines. An empty input, growing buffer and full destination indicate different possible problems. Observe a stable line, change one connection or stage, then compare the result. Buffs and later buildings can help, but the store's broad feature claims are not enough to calculate exact speed gains. Call a line stable or easier to inspect until measured current-build values support a stronger conclusion.

Find where the item waits
Walk the chain in order and note the first missing handoff. A full upstream store does not establish that every downstream recipe input is available.
Change one variable
Repair a connection, add supply or free a destination, then observe again. Several simultaneous changes hide which one helped.
Recheck after a bonus
Compare the affected line under similar conditions after applying a buff. Good Signal confirms a Signal Tower boost but does not specify its size or coverage.
Put the plan to work
Create source, building and storage nodes, connect the flow, record observed rates and find disconnected stages.
