 A '''springbox''' can be fitted to some machines to increase their operating speed, or in the case of the [[Aqueduct Tower]] with a [[Aqueduct Pump]] attached, to increase the amount of pumping accomplished per pumping. This performance improvement may be applied regardless of whether the machine has been [[Mechanics|tuned]]. Assembling and installing Springboxes, as well as checking a building's specific Springbox requirement, may only be done by one who knows [[Automation 2]].

 The [[quality]] of the [[spring]] used will affect the performance improvement. Higher quality is better. Quality of 8500 appears to increase rate by 2.5x. Quality of around 7500 appears to increase rate by 2x. It is possible this may vary from machine to machine - if you have the time, please confirm with your own data! Unlike Tuning, Springboxes will actually increase the efficiency of fuel-using machines, making them cheaper to run per unit of output.

The speed improvement is generally well worth these quirk s, and they may not be present in other upgraded machines. The [[Steam Kiln]] still seems to process its usual 1500 items with a similar-quality Springbox, though this may be due to coincidentally more favorable multipliers.
