Field notes
Plant-wide settings persist when users switch equipment, while each equipment category has its own assumptions and reset option. Some model limits are called out inline: washer water and wastewater are excluded, and full-line estimates combine soft assumptions. The page also distinguishes recovered saleable yield from water loss for dehydrators and warns against counting both a premium and yield gain for the same upgrade.
