Along with [[electric engine unit]]s, processing units are one of the few intermediate products produced in an assembler that require a liquid input. It is possible to direct insert green circuits into processing unit production as vast quantities are required, although this is not necessary if a large supply of them can be sourced elsewhere and provided to the assembler.
 
The ratios of assembling machines to craft this item are:
 
; Normal mode:
* 5 [[Electronic circuit]] factories + 6 [[Advanced circuit]] factories + 0.05 [[Sulfuric acid]] plants → 5 ''Processing Unit'' factories
 
; Expensive mode:
* 5 [[Electronic circuit]] factories + 6 [[Advanced circuit]] factories + 0.10 [[Sulfuric acid]] plants → 5 ''Processing Unit'' factories

The following shows the minimum ratio of assemblers/machines and items required to produce processing units such that all number of assemblers are whole numbers. Items per min is calculated using [[assembling machine 3]] with no [[module]]s or [[beacon]]s and all assemblers running at full speed. The crafting of some intermediate products are not shown (due to the assumption that these items are available in large quantities within the factory). This table was produced using normal recipe difficulty.

Ratio

The following shows the minimum ratio of assemblers/machines and items required to produce processing units such that all number of assemblers are whole numbers. Items per min is calculated using assembling machine 3 with no modules or beacons and all assemblers running at full speed. The crafting of some intermediate products are not shown (due to the assumption that these items are available in large quantities within the factory). This table was produced using normal recipe difficulty.
