Particle Container · Dyson Sphere Program: Ingredients and crafting planner

Using this reference

Before gathering materials for Particle Container, choose the recipe or variant you actually intend to make. Alternative recipes are separate shopping lists: combining their inputs would overstate the cost. The quantity you enter is the number of finished items you want, so a recipe that produces several at once may leave a small surplus.

Start with the ingredients you have the least of. A large stock of one material cannot make up for a shortage of another. The list covers the final crafting step; if an ingredient is itself crafted, open its reference separately before planning a gathering trip.

A worked example

Suppose you want 4 × Particle Container. This recipe produces 1 per operation, so you need 4 operations. That produces 4 in total. The direct material list is Copper Ingot × 8, Electromagnetic Turbine × 8, and Graphene × 8.

One useful comparison

For Recipe / training time (s), Particle Container is listed at 4, compared with 3 for Combustible Unit: a difference of 1. This compares that field in the recorded variants only. Read the other fields before deciding whether the trade-off matters to your use.
