Calculation behavior

Automatically recalculate after major selections

Formula used

Core relationships applied by the planning engine.

machines = required output per minute ÷ (recipe output per minute × clock speed ÷ 100)

stage input = recipe input rate × (required stage output ÷ recipe output rate)

production power = machine count × base MW × (clock speed ÷ 100)^{power exponent}

transport vehicles = (throughput ÷ capacity per trip) × round-trip minutes

resource nodes = required raw rate ÷ (base node output × miner clock speed ÷ 100)

How to use this calculator

A practical workflow for building a reliable production plan.

1. Define the target

Select a final item and enter its desired rate. Use total quantity and duration when planning a temporary project-part batch.

2. Choose recipe rules

Limit the plan to unlocked tiers, disable unwanted recipes, prefer specific alternates, and select an optimization objective.

3. Configure machines

Set default clock speeds or override individual stages. Whole-machine mode automatically adjusts clocks to meet demand.

4. Verify extraction

Choose miner grade, node purity, and clock speed. Add resource limits to expose shortages before construction begins.

5. Check logistics

Review belt and pipeline line counts, vehicle throughput, station buffers, head lift, and byproduct destinations.

6. Save and build

Export the plan, print the construction list, save a browser project, and use the checklist while building.
