For each item that has been approved by Upland, you will see it in stock at your factory. There is a total number of mints indicating the max items that can be created. Each factory model also has its maximum amount of sparklet that can be staked. The more sparklet added means the faster you can produce. Think of each sparklet like a factory worker. The more workers you have on a job, the faster it will get done.
When it comes to manufacturing, the method is FIFO (First In First Out). This means that the first item you place in the production queue will be the first one produced. You are able to add items to the queue in bulk, but only that of the same model. One important factor you must consider when production is preventing a production bottleneck. If your production lot is full, any new items have nowhere to be placed, and production will stop until space is freed up. This means that you need to be wary of item demand, production rate, and inventory when managing your production.
If for whatever reason you wish to stop production, its important to first remove all items from your queue. Only then will you be able to remove your spark from the factory.
