Container type

The container type can limit the unit and equipment modules selected for binding. Plug-flow containers can hold multiple lots of the same material but lots must be used in the order they were added to the container (first-in/first-out order). Pallet containers also can hold multiple lots of the same material but the order they were added to the container is not considered.
Example
  • MBR_ADD:1 requires an addition of Material_1.
  • MBR_ADD:2 requires an addition of Material_3, Lot_3.
The recipe binds to Unit_2 because it’s the only unit capable of drawing Lot 3.
Container_6 is not selected because it is a plug-flow container and Lot_1 must be depleted before Lot_3 can be used. Container_5 is selected because it is a pallet container and lots are available regardless of the order they were added to the pallet. Material_1 is pulled from Container_6 because Equipment Module 4 is pulling material from Container_5.
