can buildings create more than one instance of a product?

Post by hedgehog »

for instance, say i have a power plant, and it looks like this:

makes 30 vehicle fuel from 20 crude oil every 10 days
makes 40 vehicle fuel from 10 hydroelectric power every 6 days
makes 50 vehicle fuel from 5 solar energy every 3 days

this would generally be fine, yeh? afaik the only thing that gets screwy is if you do it the other way around and have the same demanded item making multiple sold products...

well yeh it works either way, though i think if you demand the same thing twice there's always that bit where you have to wait for all of the less demanding item to be made first before you can get the other, etc...just wanted to check there wasn't some similar sort of behavior i was overlooking :)

yea, if you have them set at the same day times, their will need to be enough items for both products in the building, or only the higher up will be made each time, or until full
different days though, it should work fine as long as thiers product to make the stuff with.

ah cheers, yeh there's an idea if it takes two days to build the lower demand item and only one for the higher, could fund it to make of each result item... not a bad idea in cases like that...good stuff. :)
