Basic Setup Guide

FPSCompress 0.5.0.

Setting up your first factory compression system involves seven steps:

Initialize CM spaceUpgrade CM to PreFabBuild factory insidePlace Importers/ExportersConfigure PreFab facesConnect chestsRun simulation

1. Right-click your CM with Personal Shrinking Device

2. Enter the dimension

3. Exit back out

This initializes the CM space. Without this step, the PreFab upgrade will not work.

1. Craft a PreFab upgrade item

2. Right-click your CM with it

This converts the CM into a PreFab block that can run simulations.

1. Enter PreFab dimension (right-click with Personal Shrinking Device)

2. Build your factory (e.g., furnace setup)

Example:

[Chest] → [Furnace] → [Chest]

Importers = Input gates

Actively push items into adjacent inventories

Exporters = Output gates

Actively pull items from adjacent inventories

Best practice: Use intermediate chests between gates and machines for more reliable behavior.

1. Hold Simulation Wrench

2. Shift + Right-click PreFab

3. For each face:

- Set mode (PULL/PUSH/DISABLED)

- Set filter (ITEMS)

- Select target Importer/Exporter

Place chests adjacent to PreFab faces:

PULL faces = Input chests (must have materials)

PUSH faces = Output chests (receives products)

Example:

[Coal Chest] → [PreFab NORTH]

[PreFab SOUTH] → [Iron Chest]

Start: Right-click PreFab with wrench (no shift)

Wait: 30-60 seconds for accurate measurement

Finish: Right-click again

Result: PreFab enters CACHED mode - CM chunks unload, factory runs virtually.
