Introduction
I've been playing and enjoying this game a lot and I'd thought I'd share my take on circuits and how they work.
Understanding Storage Circuit Routing
At the top-right corner of your storage inventory, you’ll find two circuit dropdown menus - don’t ignore them, they’re crucial for smart logistics.

Left Dropdown: This sets which circuit the storage receives from. Think of it as the incoming line - where your resources are pulled into this storage.

Right Dropdown: This determines which circuit the storage sends to once it's full. Overflow? This is where it goes next - onward to glory (or at least to another container).

Use these to chain storages together, balance inputs/outputs, or set up overflow systems like a damn pro.
1. Production Output - The Illusion of Emptiness
In this first screenshot, you’ll see the output slot holding just 1 Solaris.
Looks innocent, right?



But this is just what’s visible at the crafting station. There’s more happening under the hood.
2. Storage Slot - Full and Ready
Now check the storage screen - every slot is filled with 1 Solaris.



Notice that the right circuit output is set to Circuit 3. This is where the magic of routing starts.

3. Destination Storage - The Hand-off
Here’s the storage that’s receiving those Solaris.
Left dropdown? Set to Circuit 3.
Right dropdown? Feeding back to Circuit 1.



Boom. You’ve created a looped logistics chain. The system is actively shuffling items - quiet, automatic, relentless.
4. Two Crafts Later - Silicone Blocks Incoming
Fast forward just two crafts later, and you’ll see the system rolling along. The destination storage is now filling with Silicone Blocks, smoothly picked up by the routing logic you set earlier.

Final word
Let your machines work for you, not the other way around. Use storage routing not just for stacking items, but for automating flow.
Understand the circuits. Control the loops. And never let overflow clog your empire again.

If this guide helped you level up your logistics game, drop a like - or don’t. I’m not here to beg. I’m here to build empires.
Pro Tip: Construction Tool Always Pulls from your Sub-Fief output
Here’s the kicker that trips up even seasoned players:

Your construction tool only pulls from the output circuit of your sub-fief. So if you're in Circuit 1...

If you're wondering why your freshly crafted items aren’t showing up when you try to build - breathe, my liege. They're not gone. They're just sitting pretty in a different circuit.

Check your storage output settings.
If your goods are being routed to Circuit 3, 4, or any circuit but 1? Your construction tool won’t see them.

Solution?
Make sure your output storage is either directly connected to Circuit 1 (or your Sub-Fief's output).

No more ghosting your own inventory, yeah?

you need the machines inventory filled, yes

So it's necessary to always set 1 solari right? There's no way to just have the machines route immediately..

Your fief's output circuit is what your construction tool pulls from ^_-
