Filled circles are occupied seats. Workers can be distributed across any available carousels.

11 seated workers across at least 3 carousels provide 110 power for 103 demand. Spare capacity: 7.

How the calculation works

Divide demand by power per seated worker, then round up. Carousel count assumes four occupied seats per carousel.

At 103 demand, ordinary workers need 11 seats for 110 power. Belt Master needs 6 seats for 120 power.

Capacity limits

Twenty occupied seats supply 200 power normally, or 400 with Belt Master. Spare capacity does not multiply production speed.

Only workers seated at a Zombie Carousel supply this power. If production stalls with enough power, check inputs, output chests and transport.
