The full library of things you'll drop on the square-tile grid that wraps your planet, from the Crafting Station in your landing kit to the Launch Cradles that throw the swarm's sails at the star. Click any card for footprint, power draw, build cost and upgrade chain.
The Planetary Assembler, for the recipes that take two fluids and up to four items.
Crafting stations, constructors, assemblers, fabricators, particle accelerators: anything that turns inputs into outputs.
Belts, splitters, mergers, pipes: the circulatory system of your factory.
Containers, tanks and vaults, the buffers for everything you'll ever make.
Weather Generators, turbines, poles and batteries, which is where all of your power comes from.
Miners, fluid extractors and gas harvesters, placed over a node to pull from the planet.
Smelters, foundries and refineries, where ore becomes ingots and oil becomes plastic.
The Research Lab, where science packs unlock the next age.
Sphere Cores, Launch Cradles, Star Lifters and the rest of the endgame.
The space elevator, the drone port and the lamp post, the pieces that fit no other family.
Ten categories orbit the core. The largest star is the most-populated category, logistics, because a factory is mostly belts.
Choose a category to filter the grid below.
These are the machines your factory runs on, from the Crafting Station you land with to the Star Lifter at the star, each described the way the game describes it.
Hand-crafts any recipe of one or two ingredients, and every recipe you research appears here the moment it unlocks.
Turns a single ore into ingots, one building for the whole game; research raises its overclock ceiling.
Runs every one-input recipe: plates, rods, bolts, gears, wire, cable and concrete.
Runs every two-input recipe the Crafting Station could hand-make, on belts.
Raw iron ore and coal into steel, bauxite and copper ore into aluminum alloy.
The three- and four-input recipes: frames, data buses, computers, and later the supercomputer.
Oil and water in, plastic and rubber out, with heavy oil building up.
Consumes science packs to advance research, and more labs research faster.
Mk.1 to Mk.3. Feed a storm recipe and a storm forms on its footprint, from the Tornado's 300 MW to the Superstorm's 22,000.
Recipes that take a fluid and two or three items, from Science Pack 4 to Orbital Sails.
Recipes that take a fluid and four items: Science Pack 5 and the Neural Matrix.
Recipes that take two fluids and up to four items, Science Pack 6 among them.
Mk.1 to Mk.3 on ore deposits; the Mk.1 pulls 60 units a minute.
Pumps the sea it stands beside, which is water on the home world.
Sits on a gas node on a giant's cloud deck and draws 60 units a minute.
Lifts Stellar Material from the star, 1 to 6 a minute as the swarm grows.
Cosmic Scale gives you the power, the logistics and the automation, and what you build with them is up to you.
