Turn logistics stations into factories

Overview

Put a production building in slot 1 of a logistics station and set that slot to Storage (neither Supply nor Demand). Put what you want to make in slot 2, and the ingredients after it.
About 1 second after the setup is complete, the station becomes a "Tower Factory". It works as if the buildings stored in slot 1 were running inside the station: N buildings run at N times the base speed.
Each base cycle is split into 10 shorter cycles, and each short cycle produces ceil(N / 10) times.
Tower Factories do not use power (critical photon towers use surplus Dyson sphere energy instead).
Proliferator effects are ignored.
If a station doesn't work as expected, BepInEx/LogOutput.log tells you why it was or wasn't recognized.

Works with every building that has recipes: assemblers, smelters, chemical plants, oil refineries, particle colliders and matrix labs.
Slot 2 is the product; slots 3 and later are the ingredients, in recipe order.
Byproducts:
- Only the product in slot 2 is stored. Byproducts are discarded, but still counted as produced in the statistics panel.
- Byproducts never block the main product.
Auto-fill ingredients:
- Set slot 1 (Storage) and slot 2, leave the rest empty, then click the "Fill Ingredients" button at the top right of the station window.
- Ingredients are set to Demand. Pseudo recipes take priority.
- If no recipe fits, you'll see "原料格子不够，请加装运输塔扩容mod" (not enough slots, install a station expansion mod).
Pseudo recipes (several real recipes merged into one; every intermediate step is counted in the statistics):
- Oil Refinery: 4 Crude Oil + 2 Energetic Graphite → 3 Energy Matrix
- Oil Refinery: 1 Refined Oil → 1 Hydrogen + 1 Energetic Graphite (put either one in slot 2)
- Oil Refinery: 2 Crude Oil + 1 Coal → 3 Refined Oil
- Assembler: Titanium Crystal / Optical Grating Crystal + Fire Ice + Hydrogen → Casimir Crystal

Mining Machine: slot 2 is a mineral found on this planet. 30 per minute per machine, multiplied by mining speed research.
Advanced Mining Machine: produces every mineral from slot 2 onwards, each at 3 times the Mining Machine speed. Slots with minerals not found on this planet are skipped.
Water Pump: slot 2 is this planet's ocean item (water or sulfuric acid). Uses the real pump speed.
Oil Extractor: slot 2 is crude oil, and the planet must have oil seeps. 1 per second per extractor, multiplied by mining speed research.
Veins are never depleted.

Slot 1 is a Ray Receiver, slot 2 is Critical Photon.
Each receiver makes photons at the speed of one real receiver at full warm-up without a lens.
Energy is taken from the Dyson sphere's surplus (whatever real receivers leave). All Tower Factories share it; production stops when there isn't enough.

Slot 1 is an Energy Exchanger, slot 2 is a full Accumulator, slot 3 is an empty Accumulator.
Charges empty accumulators at the real exchanger speed. Charging only; no power is used for now.

Multiplayer is untested.
The button and its popup tips follow the game language (Chinese for zh-CN, English otherwise). Log messages are Chinese only.

轮椅，让运输塔也能生产物资

支持所有有配方的生产建筑：制造台、熔炉、化工厂、原油精炼厂、微型粒子对撞机、矩阵研究站。
第二格放产品，第三格起按配方顺序放原料。
副产物：
- 只收第二格的产品，副产物直接丢弃，但会计入生产统计。
- 副产物不会影响主产物的生产。
自动填原料：
- 设好第一格（仓储）和第二格，后面留空，点运输塔窗口右上角的"塔厂：填原料"按钮。
- 原料格设为需求，伪配方优先。
- 如果格子放不下任何配方，会提示"原料格子不够，请加装运输塔扩容mod"。
伪配方（多步真实配方合成一步，中间步骤的生产和消耗都计入统计）：
- 原油精炼厂：4 原油 + 2 高能石墨 → 3 能量矩阵
- 原油精炼厂：1 精炼油 → 1 氢 + 1 高能石墨（第二格放哪个就收哪个）
- 原油精炼厂：2 原油 + 1 煤矿 → 3 精炼油
- 制造台：钛晶石 / 光栅石 + 可燃冰 + 氢 → 卡西米尔晶体
