Adavcned Industry stockpiles and upgrades

[Bored Peon]

Is there any way to see or know what scrap an advanced industry needs to upgrade?

In the video it said you could rush an upgrade by adding materials and it would upgrade if it had the right power, happiness, defense, etc.

I tried looking in the stockpile to sorta guess what it needs but most of them have a bunch of misc stuff in them.

I believe that any of those materials added by the plot count

Yes, what the plot wants is what it puts in the stockpile. Scrapyards want scrap. Oil wells want oil. Iron mines want mined ore. Lumber mills want wood. Etc.

However, sometimes you may see a bit of glitch. Like wood in the oil well stockplile. Or Mined Ore in a lumbermill. This usually happens if the plot was one thing or thought it was one thing and you change it to another (it randomly picked a plot and started building before your choice registered.)

Once any advanced industrial finishes building I like to check the stockpile to make sure there isn't anything extra in the stockpile. If there is I just take it out and put it where it goes. Like I said it's mostly intuitive. Wood shouldn't be in an oil well. Mined ore doesn't belong in a lumber mill. etc. Scrapyards are no big because they are omnivorous.

This glitch only effects level one plots.

For how much of what stuff to upgrade each plot and other spoilers you can look here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HAwaYDPQpS8cxhVSG-oJyiMpTqxaRjUkYoeF2grKXgo/edit#gid=0

Yeah that is the problem that made it confusing. Like when I open the water stockpile it had a half dozen misc scrap items in it.

I already have a bookmark to the chart, I as trying to force upgrade a tool shop. @#$% me, just noticed the slider bar.....lol.
