Plan B Terraform: Basic Information for Materials to Top Tech (EA Version)

All the numbers for how its made from basic materials to top tech

 

What’s here….

Below are tables of production and resource demand to keep 1 production building active at max capacity for 1 in game year.
These figures DON’T take into account bottlenecks with Transport or insufficient drones.

I have collected all the number right down to how many extractors are needed to run a Composite factory, or a Pumping Station.
However keeping that all neat and readable means i can only add in Raw material extraction rates for the more basic resources. If you like me to add a section that just lists extraction types and rates for everything i can do that. eg –

Composite basic resource extraction is :-
120 Iron – 8 Excavators
10 Nitrogen – 2 Ice Extractors
90 Carbon – 7.5 Atmospheric Extractors

Pumping Station :-
72 Sulfur – 4.8 Excavators
72 Iron – 4.8 Excavators
16 Alum Ore – 1.06 Excavators
12 carbon – 1 Atmospheric Extractor

All info presented was collected by hand from a completed game, on the first early access version and as such is subject to change or error.

I will try to present a lot of numbers and information in the neatest and most readable way i can.

Basic Raw Material production rates.

Raw Materials are mined with an Excavator on mineral fields or specialist buildings that become unlocked during the game.

Production Rates are given in produced Per game year

Factory Production

Most game resources are produced in the factory,

Product rate is given in Produced per Game year.
For raw resources the number of extractors is listed in the Factory’s column.

Recycling Production

The amount of recyclable Waste will increase over time as the cities get bigger.
You can see its yearly Waste amount by selecting the Waste Disposal building.

While the Waste Disposal will fill with all types of waste you can process it from diffrent waste disposal buildings so don’t feel pressured into fitting all the outputs into just one area.

All forms of waste are processed with the Recycling Plant.

Greenhouse – Keeping people fed.

Greenhouse has the Sole purpose of making food for the big cities and the main consumer of water. All inputs can be traced to Raw resources

Finished

I’m glad thats over, It took far to long fixing spelling errors and formatting. (for some reason i kept marking mechanical parts as 3 steel instead of 1 so that got confusing)

Still i hope it helped just a little if so it was worth the time.

Remember all Info taken from the First Early Access version so subject to change.

its a shame i couldn’t fit all my gathered info into nice neat tables but my notes are not exactly user friendly
eg:-
12 pumping station – 2 reinforced concrete, 1 hightech parts – 24 reinforced concrete(0.8), 12 hightech parts(0.13) – 24 concrete(0.8), 24 steel(0.8),8 Alum(0.26) 4 polymer(0.13) – 72 sulfer 4.8 exv, 72 iron 4.8 exv, 16 alum ore 1.06 exv, 12 carbon 1 atmos

But if you think a total breakdown like this would be useful id certainly consider it.
