Building factories within factories...

Hi everyone!

Last time, we saw how to build a simple Splitter factory.
This time, let's take a look at nested factories across multiple levels.

Since factories can be encapsulated into reusable modules and placed inside other nested factories, you can build factories across multiple levels, opening up countless design possibilities.

In this exemple, we built a factory that assembles the input shapes into cubes.
Here are the different nesting levels of this factory:

You can watch the full creation process here:

Next time, we'll take a look at programmable factories and see how a single factory design can produce many different outputs.

Closed playtests are getting closer

Last time, we explored multiple-level nested factories. Today, let's take a look at how factory programming works and how the same factory design can be reused to produce cubes of different sizes. One factory design, multiple outputs! Programmable factories In this example, the same factory can produce cubes of different sizes using parameters.

While waiting for the playtests, here is a small look at how nested factories work. In this example, we create a simple Splitter factory that takes one input flow and distributes it across four outputs. Here is the creation process of the nested factory: You can watch the full video here: Factories can be encapsul…
