Plan Sulphuric Acid →Selected recipe · Pressurizer
The source rate is 120 Sulphuric Acid 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sulphur Ore | 240 | 2 |
| Chemicals | 120 | 1 |
Default source recipe: refinery:0. 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 Sulphuric Acid. Compare each recipe's direct input-to-output proportions below. The planner and every example on this page still use the first default recipe, Pressurizer; 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.

Worked example: plan 10 Sulphuric Acid
With no inventory, the selected recipe chain expands to the terminal resources below. The plan contains 9 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 | 1.458 | 2 |
| Helium-3 | 3.75 | 4 |
| Sulphur Ore | 20 | 20 |
| Wolfram Ore | 2.917 | 3 |

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.
