Pebbles

Pebbles is a manufacturing block that processes input materials into output resources on a fixed production cycle. It accepts Coal and Graphite as inputs and produces resource outputs on each cycle. Pebbles does not consume electrical power while operating, and each production cycle takes 1.5 seconds.

According to its production data, Pebbles requires inputs at sustained rates of 1.33 Coal per second and 0.66 Graphite per second to run continuously. The block’s outputs are listed as Coal and Graphite; operation transforms the supplied inputs into those outputs on the 1.5‑second cycle.

Place Pebbles where input supply lines for Coal and Graphite can be kept steady to match the listed input rates; since it uses no power, it can be deployed in areas without an electrical grid. Because production is cyclical and the input requirements are specified per second, buffer or storage between source and Pebbles helps smooth intermittent input flow and keeps the block operating without stalls. Likewise, provide sufficient output routing (conveyors, routers, or storage) so produced resources do not back up and halt cycles.

Key operational notes:

• Production cycle: 1.5 seconds per cycle.
• Input requirements for continuous operation: 1.33 Coal/sec and 0.66 Graphite/sec.
• Power consumption: none.
• Ensure steady input throughput and clear output lanes to avoid interruptions to the cycle.
