DownloadPizza 8abe4bcecf production lines: resolve conveyor -> island placement mapping
The recipe conveyors (game_conveyor_<product>_epb) are placed as named child GameObjects
in the island_* prefabs (islands_assets_all.bundle), NOT via energy_grid (power grid only)
or any config asset. New extractor bundle/extract_conveyor_placements.py walks every island
prefab and cross-references production_lines.json -> extracted/conveyor_placements.json.

Result: Factorio (energyRods, 80mmT3Cannon, contactGrenades, armorPiercingRocket),
Kaiserplatz (energyRods, 40mmT3Cannon), Demo_Wunderinsel (70mmT3Cannon), DeusExMashineSmall
(computingModules, coralDust), testIsland(+Tramplers) (the 4 base test conveyors).

Corrects the earlier "Armory = Sprengstofffabrik hosts explosives" guess: the
LittleFactory/LittleFactoryArmory islands place NO recipe conveyors; grenades/rockets are
on Factorio. Unplaced blueprints: explosiveSmall, mechanicalParts (+ the plural
armorPiercingRockets, whose singular-named instance is on Factorio).

# World factory "production lines" (conveyors) — where to find them
The game has **fixed single-recipe world structures** — item conveyors that run *one*
recipe (e.g. **1 Raw Aurogen Crystal → 10 Energy Rods**). These are a separate mechanic
from the player **workbench** recipes (which live in `extracted/crafting_recipes.json`,
sourced from `CraftingRecipeBundle` assets). This note records **where they live** so the
data can be re-derived after a game update.
## The mechanic
In code it's a *"Factory Production Line"*. It's an Entitas ECS feature, namespace
`Hologryph.Sand.Shared.Game.Features.Crafting` (see `il2cpp/dump.cs`):
| Class | Holds |
|---|---|
| `ProductionLineComponent` | `int inputEntityIndex`, `int outputEntityIndex` |
| `ProductionLineRecipeComponent` | `CraftingRecipe recipe` ← the recipe |
| `ProductionLineInputDataComponent` / `…OutputDataComponent` | `bool isLargeItem{Input,Output}` |
| `CraftingRecipe` | `CraftingIngredient[] inputIngredients`, `CraftingIngredient[] outputIngredients`, `float craftingTimeSeconds` |
| `CraftingIngredient` | `string itemId`, `int amount` |
Note `CraftingRecipe` / `CraftingIngredient` are the **same types** the workbench uses —
only the container differs (a workbench holds `List<CraftingRecipeBundle> recipeBundles`;
a production line holds a single `CraftingRecipe` on the entity).
## Where the data lives
- **Bundle:** `epb_assets_all.bundle` (reachable via the `bundles/` symlink).
- **Prefabs:** `game_conveyor_*_epb.prefab`, under
`Assets/Content/Game/game_conveyor/...`. 14 carry a recipe; 4 of them are named
`game_conveyor_base*` (large/small in→out variants) — what distinguishes them from
the product-named ones beyond the name is not established here.
- **Serialization:** each prefab GameObject (`m_Name = game_conveyor_<x>_epb`) has two
components — a `Transform` and a `MonoBehaviour` whose script is **`EntityBlueprint`**.
`EntityBlueprint : SerializedMonoBehaviour` (Sirenix Odin), so the component data —
including the `CraftingRecipe` — is in its **Odin-serialized
`serializationData.SerializedBytes`**, not in plain typetree fields. (Same situation as
the loot tables — see [TASK.md](TASK.md) / `extract_loot.py`.)
### Extraction path (how to read it)
`UnityPy` (with an IL2CPP `TypeTreeGenerator` over `GameAssembly.dll` +
`global-metadata.dat`) reads the `EntityBlueprint` MonoBehaviour → pull
`serializationData.SerializedBytes``bundle/odin_read.py` parses the Odin binary →
walk the tree for the node with `inputIngredients` / `outputIngredients`.
```bash
venv/bin/python bundle/extract_production_lines.py # -> extracted/production_lines.json
```
Key item ids seen here: `item_crystalHandles` = *Raw Aurogen Crystal*,
`item_energyBar` = *NZ Mk2 Energy Rod*, `item_blackBox` = *Black Box*,
`item_resourceCoralPiece` = *Coral Chunk*. Resolve any id → display name via
`extracted/items_registry.json` / `extracted/item_names.json` (built from
`CheatItemDefinitionsData`).
## Island placement — RESOLVED
Each recipe conveyor is placed as a **named child GameObject** (`game_conveyor_<product>_epb`)
in the `island_*` prefab's Transform hierarchy inside `islands_assets_all.bundle`. It is NOT
in the `energy_grid_*` blueprint (that holds only `EnergyGridDataComponent` — the power grid)
and NOT in any config / designed-environment asset. Extract with:
```bash
venv/bin/python bundle/extract_conveyor_placements.py # -> extracted/conveyor_placements.json
```
This walks every island prefab, collects the `game_conveyor_<product>` children (with local
position) and cross-references each against `production_lines.json`. Result for this build:
| Island | Recipe conveyors placed |
|---|---|
| `island_Factorio` | energyRods, 80mmT3Cannon, contactGrenades, armorPiercingRocket* |
| `island_Kaiserplatz` | energyRods, 40mmT3Cannon |
| `island_Demo_Wunderinsel` | 70mmT3Cannon |
| `island_DeusExMashineSmall` | computingModules, coralDust |
| `island_testIsland`, `island_testIslandTramplers` | the 4 `base*` conveyors (inv↔large test combos, incl. the `1x wineBox → 1000x coinCrown` one) |
Notes / corrections:
- The earlier guess that the **`…Armory` (Sprengstofffabrik)** islands host the explosive /
grenade / rocket conveyors is **not supported by the placements**: `island_LittleFactory01-03`
and `island_LittleFactoryArmory01-03` exist (each has an `energy_grid_*`) but place **no**
recipe conveyors at all. The grenade (`contactGrenades`) and rocket (`armorPiercingRocket`)
lines are on **Factorio**. Factorio is the main multi-product factory here.
- `*` Factorio's child is named `game_conveyor_armorPiercingRocket` (singular) while the recipe
blueprint is `game_conveyor_armorPiercingRockets` (plural) — a name mismatch; same line
(→ `3x item_rocketLauncherAmmoArmorPiercing`).
- Defined-but-**unplaced** recipe blueprints in this build: `armorPiercingRockets` (plural;
the singular instance is on Factorio), `explosiveSmall` (→ `5x item_c4Dynamite`),
`mechanicalParts` (→ `item_resourceMetal_t1`).
- Infrastructure conveyors (`game_conveyorSlotInput`, `…OutInventory`, `…OutLargeItem`,
`…InSwitch`) accompany the recipe ones on each factory island — these are the input/output
ports, not recipes (no underscore after `conveyor` = generic infra; `game_conveyor_<x>` =
recipe line).
