The speed of the conveyor belt does not impact the cycle time. No you cannot fucking slow down the conveyor belt to make it so you can work slower. You can’t speed it up to make people work faster. The speed of the fucking conveyor belt determines how long the things stay on the fucking conveyor belt. If it’s too slow things just stack up on it
Sorry, fucking line workers, managers, and executives in a factory…
Okay I hear you, but have we tried speeding up the conveyor belt?
If you could speed the conveyor belt up, that would be greeeeat.
sighs and speeds it up sure whatever vp,
So I noticed the HMI says the cycle time is still the same. Is there a way you can modify the conveyor to fix this?
Just stick a speed module into the workers. That should help. May increase their power consumption though
Expected Factorio.
An analogy to thinking faster conveyers means faster production is thinking faster speed limits on the highways leads to higher reproduction rates (or faster graduation or whatever).
One thing it will affect is how long a part takes to go from initial production to release. But there's a trade-off with how many products are "in fight" at once.
