Factory workstations
Find the Right Workstation for Any Factory Product
Search a product to see which workstation produces it, browse every supported recipe, and diagnose why a machine is sitting idle.

Each workstation supports a specific recipe family. Recipe count describes coverage, not profitability.

A workstation can only run explicitly supported recipes. Placing machines inside a factory does not make every manufacturable item available on every station.

Why Is This Workstation Not Producing?
Checks run in production order. The first failed condition is the most useful place to investigate.

How Factory Workstations Work in Big Ambitions
Workstations support specific recipes. A Food Production workstation cannot run an Electronics recipe simply because both are inside the same factory. Product selection begins with recipe compatibility.
Factory Workers operate the production path. Employing a Factory Worker is not enough on its own; a compatible employee needs to be scheduled and assigned during the current production period. Raw worker skill then scales effective recipe output.
Inputs and outputs both need space. A recipe requires every ingredient for a production cycle, while finished output needs somewhere to go. Full output storage can block an otherwise healthy station.
Some production stops are intentional. When current stock reaches the configured Produce Up To value, the workstation stops normally. Supporting more recipes also does not make one workstation automatically more profitable than another.
