Advanced Circuits (or "red circuits") are used as components or subcomponents in most high-tech items, most notably in Chemical science packs. They represent a crucial gateway about halfway into the game because of this, as making them requires a continuous supply of plastic bars, which in turn requires a fully functioning Oil processing system.

Advanced Circuits are much slower to build than most other components, and you will need large quantities of them (unlike items like Engines, which might be even slower to build, but are much less in demand). They are also the first intermediate product that requires 3 different input components, starting to test the player's ability to manage belts and their lanes.

Therefore it is recommended to devote large numbers of Assembling machines to their production; Assembling machine 3s are particularly useful here, as they can also be loaded with more Speed modules.

The ratios of assembling machines to craft this item are:

Normal mode

• 1 Copper cable factory + 1 Electronic circuit factory + 1 Plastic bar plant → 6 Advanced circuit factories

Expensive mode

• 2 Copper cable factories + 1 Electronic circuit factory + 2 Plastic bar plants → 6 Advanced circuit factories
