Satisfactory Production Calculator

Satisfactory 1.0 has 152 items, 276 recipes (165 default + 111 alternates you unlock from hard drives), and 17 production buildings — spanning everything from Iron Ingot in a Smelter to Alien Power Matrix in a Quantum Encoder. Planning a full chain by hand is nightmare math — miss one multiplier and your whole factory backs up. This calculator solves the graph for you in real time.

Pick a target item (Reinforced Iron Plate, Modular Frame, Turbo Motor, Nuclear Fuel Rod, Ficsonium Fuel Rod, Alien Power Matrix — whatever you're building) and a rate in items per minute. The solver walks every recipe input recursively, computes how many of each building you need (fractionally — overclock or run at partial capacity), totals the power consumption, and lists every raw resource feed rate (Iron Ore, Copper Ore, Coal, Water, Crude Oil, Bauxite, Uranium, SAM, Nitrogen Gas…).

Every item with multiple recipes (default + alternates) gets a dropdown in the Alternate Recipes sidebar. Pick "Pure Iron Ingot" (13 ingots from 7 ore + 4 water in a Refinery) instead of the default Smelter recipe (1:1) and watch the raw ore requirements drop. Pick "Recycled Plastic / Recycled Rubber" to feed plastic and rubber into each other for nearly-free production from fuel. The calculator re-solves instantly when you swap.

Variable-power buildings (Particle Accelerator 250-1500 MW, Quantum Encoder 1000-2000 MW, Converter 250-500 MW) are handled correctly — each Satisfactory 1.0 recipe locks in its specific power draw within that range, and the calculator uses the exact per-recipe values from the game files rather than averaging.

This is the same data (items/recipes/buildings) used by greeny's SatisfactoryTools repo — the community-standard data source updated for Satisfactory 1.0. Ficsonium, Superposition Oscillator, Alien Power Matrix, Excited Photonic Matter, Biochemical Sculptor, Ballistic Warp Drive, Dark Matter Crystal, Reanimated SAM, SAM Fluctuator, all Converter ore-conversion recipes — all included.
