Unit production & cost calculator
Choose a unit and batch size. Count every earlier-tier unit and consumed wall payload, then see the materials for the whole chain. Browse all 50 unit recipes and upgrades.
Plan a unit batch
Default unit cost, build speed and block cost rules. Full power, required liquids, open outputs and no overdrive. Materials are consumed by this batch; building construction is shown separately. Machine work sums all stages, including wall payload construction, and is not elapsed time for parallel factories. Movement, delivery, assembler drone startup, unit caps and interruptions add time.
Factories, upgrades & assembly buildings
17 campaign unit-producing buildings, plus the Constructor and Basic Assembler Module needed for assembly payloads. Per-unit material recipes are linked from each output unit.

Consumed wall payloads
The Constructor makes these payloads for assemblers. The material budget includes every wall consumed, not just the materials for the Constructor building.
| Payload | Materials per payload | Constructor work |
|---|---|---|
| Large Beryllium Wall | 24 Beryllium | 4 seconds · 150 power/s |
| Large Carbide Wall | 24 Thorium 24 Carbide | 10 seconds · 150 power/s |
| Large Tungsten Wall | 24 Tungsten | 5 seconds · 150 power/s |
