The source rate is 5 Scanner 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Lens | 10 | 2 |
| Generator | 5 | 1 |
| Stabilizer | 30 | 6 |
Default source recipe: assembler:7. Other machine tiers and alternative recipes may use different proportions. This planner selects the first default source recipe for each output.
Compare included machine tiers
This snapshot includes 2 default machine recipes for Scanner. Compare each recipe's direct input-to-output proportions below. The planner and every example on this page still use the first default recipe, Assembler; this table does not change that selection or optimize the dependency chain. Explicit alternative recipes are excluded, and these rows do not establish unlock requirements, discrete craft batches, construction costs, or completion times.

With no inventory, the selected recipe chain expands to the terminal resources below. The plan contains 34 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 | 194.375 | 195 |
| Helium-3 | 233.75 | 234 |
| Sulphur Ore | 460 | 460 |
| Titanium Ore | 402.917 | 403 |
| Wolfram Ore | 159.583 | 160 |

What uses Scanner?
The selected default recipes below directly consume Scanner. Open an output item to inspect its complete dependency chain.
- Tracking Device — 1 Scanner per output item, using Facturer.
- Satellite Body — 1 Scanner 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.
