Alchemy Factory Belt Speed Explained: Base Rates, Upgrades, and Throughput Math

Current 1.0 source boundary: Alchemy Factory left Early Access and launched Version 1.0 on September 8, 2026 at 07:00 UTC. See the official 1.0 announcement and official 1.0 patch notes. The notes do not publish complete current recipe, rate, cost, capacity, or progression tables, so this page does not present community or pre-1.0 figures as current specifications.

Current 1.0 guidance

This page covers belt speed. Use the current build menu, device tooltip, and live production display as the authority for its behavior. The 1.0 notes confirm the Wagon System, the customer-navigation rework, the Workbench route for non-production devices, and removal of base heat cost from heating devices, but they do not establish a complete table for every automation component.

Verification checklist

• Confirm the named item, device, quest, or system in the current 1.0 interface before acting on it.
• Treat community reports, old walkthroughs, and pre-1.0 databases as historical context unless a current primary source confirms the detail.
• Recheck a layout after hotfixes when the official notes mention the affected system.
