Alchemy Factory Auto Sell Guide
Selling items without stopping your factory becomes important once production speeds up. Auto sell lets your shop earn money on its own while you focus on layouts, belts, and upgrades.
How Auto Sell Works In Alchemy Factory
Auto sell is handled through the Automatic Cashier. It replaces manual checkout and lets customers pay by themselves.
When a customer finishes shopping, they walk to the counter, pay, and leave. The money is stored inside the cashier until you move it.
No clicks. No interaction. Just coins stacking up.
The Actual Answer
Auto sell works by placing an Automatic Cashier on the sales counter. Customers then check out automatically, and the coins are stored in the cashier, where they can be collected by hand or moved using belts.
Unlocking And Placing The Automatic Cashier
First, you must buy the Automatic Cashier from the shop across the street. Buying it unlocks the buildable version.
After that, open the Build menu.
Go to the Other category.
Place the Automatic Cashier on the right side of the sales counter while facing the customer.
If it snaps into place, it is installed correctly.
Collecting Money From Auto Sell
The Automatic Cashier stores coins internally. If it fills up, customers stop paying and a bell icon appears.
You have two options.
Manually collect coins from the cashier
Attach a belt to pull coins out automatically
Manual collection works early. Belts are better once money ramps up.
Automating Coin Movement
A belt can be connected directly to the Automatic Cashier output. Coins move like any other item.
From there, you can route money anywhere.
Storage boxes for buffering
Purchasing Portals for automation
Bank Portal to convert to silver
Splitters to divide income
This turns your shop into part of the factory, not a side task.
Auto Sell With Purchasing Portals
Auto sell shines when coins immediately feed Purchasing Portals.
Many players run a main money belt around the factory. Branches split off to portals that buy coal, limestone, or other inputs.
As long as items sell, portals stay funded. If sales slow down, production slows too, which is useful feedback.
Reputation And Auto Sell
Auto sell does not reduce reputation.
Reputation only drops when customers cannot find items they want. This happens when shelves are empty or unlocked goods are missing.
If reputation drops, restock shelves. The cashier is not the problem.
Layout Tips That Actually Help
A few layout choices make auto sell easier to manage.
Add storage boxes after the cashier to buffer coins
Convert copper into silver to save space
Use priority splitters so production money always flows first
Run money belts on an upper floor to keep things clean
Once set up, the shop mostly runs itself.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
Auto sell problems usually come from simple issues.
Forgetting to empty the cashier
No belt attached so coins back up
Sending all coins to storage instead of portals
Selling items without keeping shelves stocked
If customers stop buying, check shelves first.
Final Blurb
Auto sell removes busywork and keeps money moving without babysitting the shop. Set up the Automatic Cashier, route coins smartly, and let your factory handle sales while you build bigger systems.
FAQ
Do I need belts for auto sell
No, but without belts you must empty the cashier manually.
Can coins go straight into Purchasing Portals
Yes. Coins can be belted directly from the cashier into portals.
Does auto sell lower reputation
No. Only missing or empty shelves affect reputation.
Should I convert coins into silver
Yes later on. Silver saves space and moves more cleanly through factories.
Can I close the shop and still auto sell
No. Auto sell only works while the shop is open, but closing the shop does not reduce reputation.
