Question: What buildings do we need to produce 0.4xIron per day?

Answer: The recipe to produce Molten Iron is:

• A Blast Furnace can convert 8xIron Scrap+3xCoal in 20/2 days into 8xMolten Iron+6xExhaust.

This recipe takes 20/1=10 days. To find what can be done in one day, we have to divide the numbers by 10, so:

• A Blast Furnace can convert 0.8xIron Scrap+0.3xCoal in one day into 0.8xMolten Iron+0.6xExhaust.

The recipe to produce Iron is:

• A Metal Caster can convert 8xMolten Iron in 40/2 day into 8xIron.

This recipe takes 40/2=20 days. To find what can be done in one day, we have to divide the numbers by 20, so:

• A Metal Caster can convert 0.4xMolten Iron in one day into 0.4xIron.

To produce 0.4xIron per day we need 1xBlast Furnace+1xMetal Caster+1xSmoke Stack+5xMolten Channel.
