Optimal Factory Layout for a Little Big Workshop

When it comes to designing an optimal factory layout in Little Big Workshop, there are several factors to consider. One of the most important considerations is storage space. In this article, we'll explore how to optimize your workshop's layout to ensure efficient production and minimize walking distances.

The first thing to note is that you have two types of storage: normal storage and storage assigned to machines. While it might seem like a good idea to put storage everywhere, this approach can lead to wasted space and reduced efficiency. Instead, focus on creating a centralized storage area for easy access by all workers.

When it comes to room size, there are trade-offs to consider. A large room provides more space for assembly and storage, but may result in increased walking distances for your workers. On the other hand, a smaller room can reduce wasted space, but may not provide enough room for all of your machinery.

So, what is the optimal room size? In our experience, a room size of around 110m² or 163m² provides a good balance between storage space and walking distances. This size also allows you to minimize empty spaces while avoiding obstacles that could slow down worker movement.

Once you've decided on your room size, it's time to start building. To merge your new room with your existing one, simply use the bulldozer tool to remove the internal wall and then destroy the connecting door. Just be aware that a super huge room may impact production, so keep an eye on your resources.

Before starting construction, make sure you have a clear path for your workers to follow. You can do this by moving any obstacles out of the way and creating a smooth route from one workstation to another.

Finally, don't forget about the minor detail that construction workers will occupy the loading area with their trucks until the new room is completed. This means you'll need to move things around before starting construction to ensure a smooth process.

By following these tips, you can create an optimal factory layout for your Little Big Workshop that maximizes storage space, reduces walking distances, and increases efficiency. Happy building!
