Use vertical and magical logistics without turning multi-floor routing into a maze.

Quick answer

Build the smallest working version first, confirm that inputs stay supplied and outputs keep moving, then scale. Alchemy Factory rewards visible, modular logistics more than clever but fragile spaghetti routing.

Treat it as infrastructure

The 1.0 playthrough places new utility systems in the same planning category as belts, lifts, and wagons: decide the route before filling the surrounding area.

Give endpoints space

Leave room around source and destination points for filters, storage, and troubleshooting access.

Test with one item

Before sending a high-volume production line through a new transport device, test the route with a single predictable resource.

Version awareness

This is a 1.0-era system; older Early Access layouts may not account for it at all.

Troubleshooting checklist

1. Confirm the current patch and unlock state.
2. Inspect the upstream input before rebuilding the output side.
3. Check for full storage, blocked belts, or an empty support resource.
4. Test one module in isolation.
5. Scale only after the isolated module stays stable.
