Ion Thrusters

Plan Ion Thrusters →Selected recipe · Constructorizer
The source rate is 6 Ion Thrusters per minute. The table below converts each input rate into its theoretical cost per output item. Rates are reference ratios, not a promise about real-world completion time.
| Ingredient | Input per minute | Per output item |
|---|---|---|
| Valve | 6 | 1 |
| Heat Shield | 6 | 1 |
| Pressure Tank | 6 | 1 |
| Rocket Fuel | 6 | 1 |
Default source recipe: factory:8. Other machine tiers and alternative recipes may use different proportions. This planner selects the first default source recipe for each output.
Worked example: plan 10 Ion Thrusters
With no inventory, the selected recipe chain expands to the terminal resources below. The plan contains 47 production steps. Theoretical amounts retain fractions; the gathering column rounds each resource up once. Real craft batches may need additional inputs.
| Terminal resource | Theoretical amount | Rounded gathering amount |
|---|---|---|
| Calcium Ore | 111.865 | 112 |
| Crude Oil | 2 | 2 |
| Goethite Ore | 3.417 | 4 |
| Helium-3 | 272.188 | 273 |
| Sulphur Ore | 333.75 | 334 |
| Titanium Ore | 565.25 | 566 |
| Wolfram Ore | 139.896 | 140 |

What uses Ion Thrusters?
The selected default recipes below directly consume Ion Thrusters. Open an output item to inspect its complete dependency chain.
- Satellite Body — 1 Ion Thrusters per output item, using Facturer.
Before you build
The plan combines shared ingredient demand and consumes your inventory once across all targets. Enter any finished parts you already own before collecting raw materials. Rounded gathering quantities are an allowance over theoretical ratios; actual discrete craft batches may need additional supplies.
