Main Sequence Production
Troubleshoot machine inputs, power and belt connections before scaling a line. Recipe and balance changes are kept attached to their recorded versions.

Where should you start?
- Mining Ships and Drone Bays: Scaling Resource Supply — Use ship mining and station mining drone bays as two documented ways to gather resources. The developer says these can be expanded when sufficient power
- Machines and Belts: Diagnosing a Stalled Production Line — Follow a stalled line from resource input to machine processing and finally output. Main Sequence explicitly combines machines, belts and expanding
- Research Progression and the Expanded Demo Tech Tree — Feed manufactured items into science labs to unlock technologies, then build the production that supports the next objective. The Next Fest update expands
- Cobalt, Graphite and the Midgame Science Route — The September playtest progression sends players beyond the initial demo area to mine Cobalt and Graphite for Electromagnetic and Quantum Science. Use
- Construction Cost Changes: Plasma Turrets and Containers — Playtest 2 Patch 3 changes the material requirements for Station Plasma Turret and Container construction. Check the actual item type as well as quantity
What should you check first?
These guides cover Tumbling Dumpling Studio’s Main Sequence. Check the installed build and distinguish demo, base game and expansion content where relevant.
