Object description

The Processing Unit (or "blue circuit") is the third tier of circuit, and is used in many late game recipes, mainly for making utility science packs, modules, modular armor and its equipment, the rocket silo and parts for the rocket. Alike the other components of rocket parts, Space Age adds infinite productivity tech Processing unit productivity (research).

Achievements

Computer age 1 Produce 500 processing units per hour.

Computer age 2 Produce 1.0k processing units per hour.

Computer age 3 Produce 5k processing units per hour.

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).

History

• 2.0.7:
  • Due to the removal of rocket control units, all recipes that previously required rocket control units now require processing units instead.

• 0.9.0:
  • Introduced
