🏢 Kayser's Home & Office Depot

🤘🪑 Rocking Chairs for Homes and Offices 👨‍💼

Current as of: v0.7.9 (b495)

📋 Description

Kayser’s Home & Office Depot is a compact, efficient, and fully auto-balancing plant, designed to supply your settlement with Household Goods, Household Appliances, and Office Supplies—all from a harmonious and efficient production hub.

Powered by a dual-injection Liftbus™ (as seen in Kayser’s Construction Parts), the plant delivers maximum throughput, smooth distribution, and highly responsive balancing across all three product lines. This is especially valuable because demand for Household Goods, Household Appliances, and Office Supplies varies naturally throughout the game, with growing population, trade fluctuations, edicts, and office build-up.

The Liftbus™ automatically adapts to these fluctuations, routing materials where they’re needed most and preventing shortages without creating wasteful overproduction. Whether your settlement is homey, high-tech, or hustling with office staff, the system ensures you produce exactly what’s required—no more, no less.

Combining Household Goods, Household Appliances, and Office Supplies creates several strong synergies that make a unified production hub far more efficient than three separate plants:

• Shared Service Deliveries: Household Goods and Household Appliances both must be delivered to settlement service buildings, so producing them side-by-side keeps trucking and logistics simple, predictable, and compact.
• Shared Inputs: All three product lines rely heavily on Steel, Glass, and Electronics I & II, which greatly reduces belt complexity and allows the Liftbus™ to distribute ingredients dynamically based on real-time demand.
• Internal Ingredient Usage: Household Goods are directly used as an ingredient in Office Supplies, creating a tight internal loop where one product line feeds another with zero transport overhead.
• Demand Synchronization: Consumer demand shifts naturally as your population grows, trades fluctuate, and office staffing changes. Keeping all three product types in one plant allows the Liftbus™ to auto-balance output according to actual consumption patterns, instead of hardcoding rigid production lines.
• Superior Resource Efficiency: Building all three under one roof avoids redundant assemblers, storages, belts, maintenance buildings, and transport links — leading to higher uptime, cleaner layouts, and lower operative costs.

These synergies make Kayser's Home & Office Depot more efficient than managing three independent plants. And of course, it expands and upgrades gracefully — the Kayser hallmark.

👉 Because every settlement deserves rocking homes and offices. 🤘

⚙️ Feature Summary

• Auto-balancing production between Household Goods, Household Appliances, and Office Supplies
• Convenient corner markers to show space requirements and simplify blueprint alignment
• Highly efficient in terms of construction cost, workers, and maintenance
• Incrementally buildable for minimal resource investment
• Staged blueprints for early/mid-game adoption and incremental development
• Readily accessible input/output storages for buffering, alerts, and easy mapping and connection of auxiliary belts

⚡ Quick Start Guide

1. Start with the version that matches your technology level, and upgrade as you progress. Larger plants require higher tier belts to function effectively.
2. Connect inbound transports. Inbound storages are not strictly required if belts are used, but highly recommended, accompanied with an alert for low level.
3. Activate one or more assemblers; they are all independent and can be built, upgraded, paused, or demolished individually.
4. Ensure the lifts that supply the assemblers form a closed Liftbus™ loop. Unused parts must remain in the loop, with priority.
5. Set alarms for low stock levels on outbound storages, to get advance warning of production capacity shortage (recommended: below 50%). Outbound belts are recommended.
6. Keep your maximum (yellow) slider one or two steps below maximum. This will allow goods from deconstructions, upgrades, loot, etc. to be delivered by trucks and recycled smoothly.

📐 Blueprints

All blueprints function as standalone build and are pre-configured for truck transportation (Plug & Play). Each blueprint from stage 2 onwards also functions as an upgrade of any previous stage. Upgrades are graceful (i.e. no shift-click required) unless build has been modified.

No alerts are pre-set.

🔄 Input/Output

Typical input/output as per below. Note that production can shift freely between the different products, as long as sufficient ingredients are abailable.

Intermediate products (within () parentheses) are consumed as part of the process.
