Choose a variant below. Closely related recipes, conditions or opening branches are collected here so you can compare them without moving between almost identical pages.
The version and limits of the original source apply to every entry. Quantities and requirements belong to the named variant; do not add alternative recipes or opening lines together.
These options share a planning task. Their differences stay visible in the individual rows and calculators.
Using this reference
Choose a recipe for Frames and reinforcement, then choose the machine that will run it. The per-minute rate uses the recorded output, recipe duration and machine speed. Batch quantities answer how many materials a fixed number of operations consumes; the rate column answers how fast one selected machine processes them.
Increase the target rate to see the number of whole machines needed. Rounding up leaves some nominal spare capacity. This is a direct production step, not a balanced factory: upstream supply, transport and temporary interruptions still need to support the stated rate.
Heavy Modular Frame
2 per minute · Buildings needed (rounded up): 30
| Source data | Batches | per minute |
|---|---|---|
| − Modular Frame | 5 | 10 |
| − Steel Pipe | 20 | 40 |
| − Encased Industrial Beam | 5 | 10 |
| − Screw | 120 | 240 |
| + Heavy Modular Frame | 1 | 2 |
Rates use the selected building at base speed. No modules, beacons, quality, power shortages or overclocking are simulated. Fractional outputs are expected averages, not guaranteed drops.
per minute = Batches × 60 × Production building / seconds per cycle
Heavy Modular Frame · 30 Seconds
Modular Frame × 5 + Steel Pipe × 20 + Encased Industrial Beam × 5 + Screw × 120 → Heavy Modular Frame × 1
Station: Manufacturer
Alternate: Heavy Flexible Frame · 16 Seconds
Modular Frame × 5 + Encased Industrial Beam × 3 + Rubber × 20 + Screw × 104 → Heavy Modular Frame × 1
Station: Manufacturer
Alternate: Heavy Encased Frame · 64 Seconds
Modular Frame × 8 + Encased Industrial Beam × 10 + Steel Pipe × 36 + Concrete × 22 → Heavy Modular Frame × 3
Station: Manufacturer
A worked example
Suppose you want 4 × Heavy Modular Frame. This recipe produces 1 per operation, so you need 4 operations. That produces 4 in total. The direct material list is Modular Frame × 20, Steel Pipe × 80, Encased Industrial Beam × 20, and Screw × 480.
