What are you trying to produce?
Requirements for Rusty Armor
Production path
Check these requirements- Inputs: Simple iron part, Iron Ingot
- Workstation: Assembly bench
- Output: Rusty Armor
- Required inputs
These inputs have to reach the workstation: Simple iron part, Iron Ingot.
- Assigned worker
The workstation needs a compatible worker assigned to this process.
- Worker tool
The worker's tool affects whether the process runs at all, and how fast it runs.
- Input route
Every required input has to arrive through a connected route the game accepts.
- Output
The output has to be accepted by whatever the workstation feeds next.
- Chest filters
A chest whitelist or blacklist can reject an item even while the input is available.
Every requirement the data documents for this path is listed above.
This is what the game data states about the process, not a reading of your save. Check the requirements in order and fix the first one that is missing.
How automation works
One automated step is always the same shape.
- Inputs
- Workstation
- Worker
- Output
Automated production only runs while every required input, workstation and unlock in the chain is available.

Production chain
Each step shows the inputs it consumes, the workstation it runs on and the output it produces. Open a step to follow its own upstream production.

A step whose ingredient list is only partly documented is marked as such: the chain below never fills a gap with a guess.
Planning a production chain?
Choose a target output to see the whole production chain, which steps can be automated, the workstations it needs and where automation stops.
Zombie workers
Zombie workers are one automation method, not the whole system.
Zombie workers can operate supported production tasks once the required systems and workstations are unlocked. The same processes can also be driven by the game's other automation modes, so this page lists what a worker can run instead of treating every zombie as a production switch.
- Workstations that accept a zombie worker
46 workstations in the published automation data allow a zombie worker to be assigned.
- Processes a zombie can drive
348 automated processes in the data are documented as zombie-capable.
- Items a porter route can move
41 items with an automation answer also have a known porter route between stations.

Zombie workers do not remove the requirements: an input still has to arrive, the recipe still has to be unlocked, and mastery still applies.
How to unlock automation
Automated production is gated by progression: a technology adds the workstation, and the workstation is what runs the process.

Automation does not open with a single switch: the technology adds the workstation, and the workstation runs the process. Technologies the game data does not publish yet are not listed here.
What should I automate first?
These targets are ranked by how many automated processes consume them, not by opinion: an output that feeds many other processes pays for itself across the whole chain.
Why this one- StickAutomated production consumes it in 31 processes
- Iron IngotAutomated production consumes it in 19 processes
- Bronze DetailAutomated production consumes it in 16 processes
- InkAutomated production consumes it in 15 processes
- Bronze IngotAutomated production consumes it in 13 processes
- CrateAutomated production consumes it in 13 processes
This is a dependency count from the game data, not a throughput measurement: it says which output the rest of your production leans on most.
Common automation problems
The questions players ask when production stops, answered with what the data actually documents.
- Can this item be automated?
- 270 of the 336 items with a documented automation answer have a confirmed automated production path. Search the item above to see its own answer and chain.
- Why is there no automated path for some items?
- 66 items carry a documented answer without a confirmed automated path. That is not the same as manual-only: the data simply does not document a process that produces them.
- Which workstations can a zombie worker run?
- 46 workstations allow a zombie worker to be assigned. Pick one in the workstation list to see exactly what it runs.
- What do I need to unlock automation?
- 12 published technologies add a workstation that runs automated processes. A technology unlocks the station; the station is what runs the process.
- Why is my worker not producing anything?
- Every documented process lists its requirements: inputs, an assigned worker, worker mastery, the tool, and the recipe unlock. Open the diagnostics above for a target and work through them in order.
