Onboard Instruments
Check the inputs. Make a plan. Bring only what you still need.
Plan Onboard Instruments →Selected recipe · Assembler
The source rate is 20 Onboard Instruments 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Electronics | 10 | 0.5 |
| Stabilizer | 20 | 1 |
| Reinforced Housing | 10 | 0.5 |
Default source recipe: assembler:9. 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 Onboard Instruments
With no inventory, the selected recipe chain expands to the terminal resources below. The plan contains 23 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 | 7.083 | 8 |
| Goethite Ore | 0.333 | 1 |
| Helium-3 | 5 | 5 |
| Titanium Ore | 51.319 | 52 |
| Wolfram Ore | 17.083 | 18 |

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.
