Description

You're a little sheet of paper stuck on this platform that can expand infinitely. Be brave, conquer the resources, setup logistics and automate to create all the colored sheet of paper and maybe leave this dangerous place?

Tutorial

You need to produce white paper to start with. To do that, you'll need to provide the white paper crafter (already placed) with resources. 

You can check what it needs by hovering your mouse over the build menu. (it needs slalt)

Next, enter the salt vertex, place a salt miner (on the salt tile) and link it to the vortex.

The crafter should start producing white paper.

You'll need salt to progress further, so you can link the salt vortex to the chest and unlink it from the crafter to get salt.

The rest is yours to figure out

Tips

  • You can divide your factory up into different categories of items and connect them both ways to the chest. But be careful because your blue paper factory might consume all of your white paper.
  • You can only place factories related to the resource in a resource dimension (crafters, generators, vortexes and storage)
  • It's a good idea to create slightly more lower tier paper crafters. This way you'll never run out of the base materials.
  • Here is a spreadsheet a player made to optimize material costs
