Hay pellets provide a dense, highly marketable refined product in Find The Needle. Converting bulky loose strands into uniform pellets streamlines factory storage and generates impressive market margins.
The Pellet Disc Machine
Manufacturing pellets requires unlocking the specialized Pellet Disc Machine through your technology tree. This heavy-duty unit processes composite inputs into compressed feed pellets.
Following the Demo V8 update, the Pellet Disc Machine now has resource indicators like BRICKS and HAY clearly displayed on its exterior. These visual cues make monitoring input levels straightforward during factory operations.
Supplying Ingredients
Producing pellets involves feeding both raw hay and compressed bricks into the machine intake ports. Run a split conveyor from your raw hay line directly into the hay hopper.
Simultaneously, route an outbound belt of eco bricks from your brick press into the brick intake. Maintaining balanced delivery of both materials ensures the pellet disc rotates continuously without stalling.
Commercial and Logistic Benefits
Pellets yield substantial profits at the market sell stand compared to raw materials. Furthermore, their compact nature makes them an outstanding fuel alternative to extend generator burn times across your electrical network.
