Compressing fluffy loose hay into standardized, tightly bound bales is the earliest and most dependable refining process in Find The Needle. Bales form the foundation of delivery contracts and commercial income.

The Role of Automated Balers

When starting your factory, loose hay takes up immense conveyor volume and yields minimal cash. You end up with belts, balers, scanners and robotic arms doing the looking for you as operations expand.

Balers compress hundreds of raw strands into compact rectangular cubes. This compression drastically increases throughput across your transport belts and speeds up deliveries to the marketplace.

Setting Up Balers and Hay Wrappers

Integrating a baling station into your primary conveyor route requires placing a baler or hay wrapper directly along the line. Connect the input port to your central hay supply.

As the machine receives loose material, internal hydraulics bundle the strands into solid bales. You can then route an outbound belt of finished bales directly to the sell stand or into needle inspection scanners.

Fulfilling Delivery Contracts

In addition to regular market sales, compressed bales frequently satisfy specific delivery orders. Completing batch deliveries of bales unlocks higher cash bonuses and advances tech tree prerequisites.
