Using this reference
Choose a recipe for Iron components, 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.
Iron Plate
20 per minute · Buildings needed (rounded up): 3
| Source data | Batches | per minute |
|---|---|---|
| − Iron Ingot | 3 | 30 |
| + Iron Plate | 2 | 20 |
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
Iron Plate · 6 Seconds
Iron Ingot × 3 → Iron Plate × 2
Station: Constructor
Alternate: Coated Iron Plate · 8 Seconds
Iron Ingot × 5 + Plastic × 1 → Iron Plate × 10
Station: Assembler
Alternate: Steel Cast Plate · 4 Seconds
Iron Ingot × 1 + Steel Ingot × 1 → Iron Plate × 3
Station: Foundry
A worked example
Suppose you want 7 × Iron Plate. This recipe produces 2 per operation, so you need 4 operations. That produces 8 in total, leaving 1 extra. The direct material list is Iron Ingot × 12.
