Build and Conquer Factories: Inputs, Output and Operating Demand

Factories have product-specific inputs. The October 11 Shahed-236 panel names a Large Military Factory recipe using money, steel and fuel.

What concrete factory recipe is available?

The Shahed-236 research panel in YellowHeadVin’s October 11 recording names Large Military Factory and lists $5,000, 40 steel, 60 fuel and 28 seconds each for manufacturing. Those are product inputs and production time. The product recipe does not itself establish construction or operating costs. Those come from the separate building tooltip below.

How do you turn a product recipe into a production plan?

Identify the selected product, its output quantity and the time unit used by the panel. Then write each consumed material on its own line. If one completed item takes 40 steel and 60 fuel in this record, a two-item batch requires 80 steel and 120 fuel in addition to money. This arithmetic assumes the displayed unit recipe applies to both items; it is not evidence of parallel production speed.

Separate three budgets: building the factory, supplying its products and operating the factory itself. A product can be researched but unavailable to manufacture because the required factory size or resources are missing.

What does the factory itself require?

Recorded panel data. Missing fields are not verified; they are not zero. Costs, capacity and operating conditions may change in Beta.

Level 3 panel: 5,000 total residents including at least 1,500 in houses. Storage capacities do not grant free stock.

The October 11 factory tooltip at 11:02 names 120 steel to build, 100 energy, 25 workers, water and $100 upkeep per pay cycle. It has a different purpose from the selected drone recipe. The level-3 gate is 5,000 total residents, including at least 1,500 in houses. Storage capacities do not create free inventory.

What remains unknown for civilian factories?

The inspected evidence does not provide a verified iron-to-steel conversion ratio or a measured oil-to-fuel conversion table. Do not assign the military drone recipe to a Steelworks or infer conversion rates from a material’s name. The fuel guide records small and medium refinery nominal output. Use a verified live recipe in the production worksheet and keep unknown material inputs separate.

Where should you go next?
