Hi,
in order to add locally produced products I try to separate Producer and Consumer in my facility. However I run into problems when mixed goods are needed, where I only produce parts of it. Like Sensors (imported) and Tires (locally produced) at the Fit Tires Station.
I want to suggest to add an import and an export tile to the stockpiles. This way I can use the stockpile as a filter into different production zones of the facillity. See my ascii graph:
Import Zone Production Zone
<-------------------> <----------------------->
+--------------+ +----------+
+------+ Sensor | Stockpile | | Fit Tire |
|Import+---+--------->I Sensor = 5 E+------------> Sensor |
+------+ | +--------------+ | Tire |
| +---^------+
| |
| Rubber +---------+ Tire |
+--------->Make Tire+---------------------+
+---------+
Let me know what you think of it.
Cheers
