Have done some further analysis on all levels of AL. Wanted to understand how long the ingredient supplies would last running 24/7.
The table below is based on my item supplies after 1.5 years and basically suggests 4b and 6b are the ones that can be kept running. Of course everyone will have different ingredient supply figures. In any case, just another dimension for each person to consider.
