Summary
Spray Coater's purpose is to apply Proliferator sprays to the items passing through. Proliferated items receive various bonuses depending on how they are used. The Proliferators enter the spray storage of the Spray Coater through the top belt passage, while the item to be sprayed pass through the bottom belt passage.
The Spray Coater's storage holds sprays instead of Proliferators, which get converted to sprays when entering. The storage capacity is 600 sprays and it can overflow if the free space is less than the number of sprays in the entering Proliferator. If the storage is full or holds different Proliferator tier, the Proliferator item will pass through the Coater.
If the stacked cargo passes through the Spray Coater, the whole stack is applied Proliferator points, spending the amount of sprays corresponding to the number of items stacked.
Spray Coaters can be installed on a belt that is installed in the air without requiring to have ground beneath itself, or stacked one onto another before passing belts through them. The baseline stacking limit is 7, increased by 3 per each level of the Vertical Construction upgrade, up to the maximum of 25. If the maximum stacking level is reached, one will be able to feed the Coater at the top by hand, as no belt will be able to reach the Coater's Proliferator input.
