Overview
This guide explains an efficient early-to-mid-game setup for making high profits in Roblox Industrialist, focusing on steel production and maximizing income through optimized layout and automation.
Initial Research and Setup
- Research the craft assembler and steel technologies before building.
- Begin by placing 36 iron drills, arranged for easy connection later.
- Place 9 grinders in a row for processing iron from the drills.
- Add 2 blast furnaces for smelting and a third blast furnace for coke production.
Tree Farm and Resource Management
- Build a tree farm with three 5x5 squares and a sprinkler at the center of each.
- Install tree farm harvesters (at least 2 for efficiency), a tree farm controller, water tank, and 2 water pumps.
- Connect all elements with power and ensure the water system starts working.
Coal and Input Integration
- Set up 4 coal drills and connect outputs from both the coal drills and tree farm toward the blast furnace for coke.
- Use appropriate intersections and piping to ensure correct resource flow into blast furnace inputs.
Power and Connection Tips
- Use high-capacity power lines (e.g., HMVT) and add extra lines if initial power is insufficient.
- Connect all iron drills, grinders, and other machines with power and resource lines.
- Address bandwidth issues by adding additional power lines as needed.
Production Lines and Automation
- Connect grinders to blast furnaces to create iron mix, then supply this to the steel-producing blast furnace.
- Feed coke outputs to all required blast furnaces.
- Once functioning, the setup yields 4.8 steel ingots per second.
Maximizing Profits
- Convert steel ingots to steel rods using 19 rollers for optimal throughput.
- Selling steel rods significantly increases profit compared to selling steel ingots directly.
- The setup can produce about 1.6 million dollars per hour at this stage.
- Further upgrades (gearboxes, crankshafts) can raise profits even more.
Troubleshooting and Optimization
- Double-check for power or piping disconnects if output stalls.
- Fix direction errors on pipes to ensure correct item flow.
- Consider pollution control as increased steel production raises emission levels; address with scrubbers if necessary.
Recommendations / Advice
- Expanding this setup to produce gearboxes or crankshafts can further multiply earnings.
- Use pollution management if large-scale steel production is sustained.
