is it possible to make it loop?

ohhhh it can do rainbow dust > rainbow ingots and rainbow ingots > rainbow plates at the same time

[winged pilot]

{produce(rainbow_plate, rainbow_ingot, 1, presser)}
{produce(rainbow_ingot, rainbow_dust, 1, oven)}

{recipe(rainbow_dust)}
{component(1, dust, 1)}
{component(2, dust, 1)}
{component(3, dust, 1)}
{component(4, dust, 1)}
{component(5, dust, 1)}
{component(6, dust, 1)}
{component(7, dust, 1)}
{component(8, dust, 1)}
{component(9, dust, 1)}
{component(10, dust, 1)}

To make a rainbow plate it needs to produce rainbow ingot which means it needs to craft rainbow dust. To craft rainbow dust it needs 1 of each dust tier.
That error says it's missing a ton of t1 dust because you were missing a lot of dust

[nimble sequoia]

oh, that makes sense.....

i didnt think about that

[nimble sequoia]

i already had rainbow ingots. i just didnt have enough, and i was just fabricating raindow dust to get more

[willow sequoia]

Not sure if I'm missing something, but doesn't seem like its picking up dust to put into ingot automatically... or does it not if it doesn't deem it has enough?

[keen swallow]

If it doesn't have enough Dust to do the entire recipe, it'll not do anything.

[willow sequoia]

So I should assign an extra worked to crusher? 😄

[carmine bison]

that saves a step but isn't necessary (the script includes ore in the dust count)

you probably just need to let a few more refine cycles finish.

[willow sequoia]

Ahh

[bright mortar]

@willow sequoia has earned the Spark role!

[carmine bison]

the script does not properly complain if you're missing tiers of dust and it knows you need to uptier to finish the job

so if you have t1, 2, and 4 but need to uptier through tier 3, it misfires

[willow sequoia]

That's exactly where Im at LOL

Thought it was doing something wrong.. Thanks!

[keen swallow]

It also doesn't complain if you don't have enough for the crafts, but it will tell you about the missing Rubber.

[sand marten]

I'm trying to tier up my machines and I start crafting then it just pauses at some point without telling me what I'm missing, is there a way to check the problems or know what I'm doing wrong?

[uncut pendant]

do you have the chemical lumps exotic skill? and check that you don't have your workers maybe automatically eating up resources (or factory floor 2 if you have that unlocked)

you might also run out of red resources occasionally

[sand marten]

I have the skill and I don't have any workers set on the factory and I still don't have the second floor

I don't think it's a problem of resources either since I double checked

[keen swallow]

One potential issue would be missing a tier of Dust entirely. The AI only checks if you have the total Dust needed and does not check the tiers independently (because it seems hard to do).

[sand marten]

Yeah it might be

[strong osprey]

Can you explain? I've constantly had the script uptier enough from tier 1 dust as high as it needs to finish.

[keen swallow]

Well, if you're missing a tier, it won't be able to uptier to that in the first place.

[strong osprey]

Oh, the assumption that you have at least 1 dust of each tier?

[keen swallow]

Yes.
