This will produce 16 mass and 550 energy and pay for itself in 5 mins. Here the fabricators are more efficient than T2 ones and are protected by a shield.Ī standard massfarm with T2 fabricators would be a T3 power plant surrounded by 16 T2 fabricators. It is a shield surrounded by T3 power generators that also have T3 fabricators adjacent to them. T2 fabs dont benefit much from adjacency but T3 ones do a lot. However with adjacency bonuses this can be changed. So with the T2 ones it costs 150 energy per mass and the T3 ones it costs 291.6 energy per unit off mass.
mass fabricators come in two forms in Fa T2 massfabs using up 150 energy and giving out 1 mass, and T3 fabricators using up 3500 energy and giving out 12 mass. The efficiency can be increased with the use of power generators. In FA they're much less profitable and much more explosive. In vanilla massfarms were highly profitable but highly explosive.
It is, however highly volatile and if one mass fabricator or one generator gets destroyed, they all go
