How to craft Concrete
Quantities below are per complete recipe batch. Rates are for one machine at 100% clock. Keep every output moving so byproducts do not block production.
Place a Constructor and select the Concrete recipe after unlocking it. Concrete is manufactured; obtain Limestone as the raw input rather than searching for a Concrete deposit.
Concrete is made from Limestone and is a common building material, including for stable Foundations. The default recipe runs in a Constructor and uses three Limestone per Concrete. Limestone delivery is the key bottleneck, especially when construction demand rises or the same supply feeds other recipes.
Filter a resource, then select a marker or location below for its purity, elevation and coordinates. The map is hosted here.

GET STARTED
How to craft
Before you craft
Unlock the Concrete recipe and Constructor.
For one batch: 3 Limestone produces 1 Concrete.
Use the on-page resource map and filter for Limestone.
Inspect node purity and choose an accessible node; the map shows standard layout, so match your settings if resource or purity randomization is active.
Place a Miner on that Limestone node and route ore to your factory.
Build and power a Constructor, then select Concrete.
Supply Limestone and collect the Concrete for Foundations and other construction.
Add storage near building work or increase delivery when construction consumes output faster than it arrives.
Crafting tips
At 100% clock, a Constructor consumes 45 Limestone and produces 15 Concrete per minute.
Concrete is also listed as an ingredient in several later recipes, so construction stock may compete with manufacturing demand.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Constructor running while construction or downstream recipes need Concrete; refill the buffer before large building sessions.
Common mistakes
Do not search for a Concrete node; mine Limestone and process it in a Constructor.
Do not assume the map’s standard node positions and purity match a randomized world.
When to stop or switch
Stop or throttle production when your building reserve is full and no downstream line needs additional Concrete.
Place a Constructor and select the Concrete recipe after unlocking it. Concrete is manufactured; obtain Limestone as the raw input rather than searching for a Concrete deposit.
