About this step
Question: What is the game time at the beginning of this step?
Answer: At the begin of this step, the game time is 19 January 0001.
Question: Why not build a second Metal Caster
Answer: If we build a second Metal Caster in the current step, we will have not enough Construction Parts to mine Coal, not enough [[Coal] to make Iron an not enough Iron to make Construction Parts.
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.
Question: For what are we going to use the Iron?
Answer: The 0.4xIron/day is used to produce 0.53xConstruction Parts/day.
Question: What is the game time at the end of this step?
Answer: At the end of this step, the game time is 7 February 0001.
Question: What resources do we have at the end of this step?
Answer: We have:
- 800xBricks.
- 60xCoal.
- We have started this step with 180xConstruction Parts.
- We have used 60xConstruction Parts to build 2xMetal Caster.
- We have used 60xConstruction Parts to build 1xBlast Furnace.
- We have used 10xConstruction Parts to build 1xSmoke Stack.
- We have used 10xConstruction Parts to build 10xMolten Channel.
- Therefor what remains is:
- 40xConstruction Parts.
- 350xCopper.
- 400xDiesel.
- 150xElectronics.
- 944xIron Scrap.
- 80xMechanical Parts.
- 160xRubber.
