Electronics factory balance.

[Sellec]

Its very logical that electronics factory needs electronics to repair its state. But what if you have no electronics and have no money to buy some of them on Earth? Maybe the right way is to repair Electronics factory with mechanical parts?

I think that's one of those cases that you're supposed to avoid. Deliberately. Electronics are built to be the high-tier requirement. Use them wisely.

 

[Gilmund]

You have repeatable techs to make money to buy electronics to repair your factory.

Just use a transport as an emergency storage that cannot be used by drones

Electronics is the one thing I have trouble balancing. I'm not sure why. Electronics is the only building that requires what it makes to repair it also. Machine parts factory takes electronics to repair, seems reasonable electronics would take machine parts to repair.

It also makes electronics generally the last thing you become self-sufficient with. If you can't make enough electronics to keep the electronics factory working, everything grinds to a halt. If you only produce enough for the factory's maintenance, it gets snatched for other purposes and everything grinds to a halt.

That's why I mostly don't make them and just sell rare earth metals to buy electronics (and other stuffs, mostly drones)

Seems that maintenance for electronics factory cannot use electronics that is currently stored in the factory. That's weird...

Polymer and fuel factories need machin parts for maintenance. (tier 1)
Machine part factories need electronics for maintenance. (tier 2)
Electrnics factories need electronics for maintenance. (tier 3)

Almost in every game, my first electronics factory become unable to produce because lacking electronics. Drones always seems to priotirize anything else.

Use scrubbers?
