The Crystal Factory did not actually only have an assembly line for producing Crystal Shells. It also had several other assembly lines.
It was more like a comprehensive production complex. Aside from the gold, which was manufactured in the Peng Joe Empire and then shipped over, almost everything else was produced and assembled here.
Although the chips had run into trouble in Slem and could not be successfully exchanged, the factory had not received orders to shut down completely.

They processed them by comparing them against the mold of a standard shell on the workbench. For every Crystal Shell they successfully made, they earned around ten cents.
A skilled worker needed more than ten minutes to process a complete Crystal Shell.
