Consumer electronics now need plastic

Economy

Laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, induction cooktops, battery packs, display screens and security systems now use Plastic in production. Keep Plastic in stock at the factories that make them.

Every consumer-electronics product now has a plastic housing, including the battery packs and display screens other devices are built from, and so does the Security System. Eight recipes that used none now consume Plastic every cycle:

  • Computer Factory: Laptop Computer, 4 Plastic per cycle of 20
  • Smartphone Factory: Smartphone, 2 Plastic per cycle of 40; Smartwatch and Fitness Tracker, 1 Plastic each per cycle of 40
  • Commercial Appliance Factory: Induction Cooktop, 4 Plastic per cycle of 20; Security System, 3 Plastic per cycle of 10
  • Battery Factory: Battery Pack, 5 Plastic per cycle of 50
  • Display Factory: Display Screen, 2 Plastic per cycle of 40

Runs already queued or in progress finish with the inputs they were scheduled with. Every new run, including those your recurring production starts, needs the Plastic, so stock it or arrange its supply before the next cycle. Products and buildings that use battery packs, display screens or security systems need the same quantities of them as before.
