CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Electromagnetic Control Rod acquisition

Select the Electromagnetic Control Rod recipe in an Assembler, feed Stators and AI Limiters, then route the Rods to a consumer.

An Assembler makes Electromagnetic Control Rods from Stators and AI Limiters. Each batch consumes 3 Stators and 2 AI Limiters, producing 2 Rods. At 100% clock, the line produces 4 Rods per minute and consumes 6 Stators and 4 AI Limiters per minute. Rods are used in Uranium, Plutonium, and Ficsonium Fuel Rod production, and in Magnetic Field Generators. Balance both ingredient streams against the intended downstream demand.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

  • Electromagnetic Control Rod recipe and Assembler.
  • Stators and AI Limiters supplied at the required rates.
  • Output transport and access to the intended downstream recipe.
  1. Build an Assembler and select Electromagnetic Control Rod.
  2. Connect Stators and AI Limiters to their separate inputs.
  3. At 100% clock, supply 6 Stators and 4 AI Limiters per minute for 4 Rods per minute.
  4. Keep an output belt or storage route clear.
  5. Send Rods to a listed consumer such as fuel rod or Magnetic Field Generator production.
  6. Check both input buffers to identify which ingredient is limiting output.

Crafting tips

  • Each batch uses 3 Stators and 2 AI Limiters to make 2 Rods.
  • The alternate Electromagnetic Connection Rod recipe requires its unlock.
  • Ficsonium Fuel Rod production also yields Dark Matter Residue.

Repeat, collect and use

Balance both input streams with demand and expand the line that consistently limits output.

Common mistakes

  • Do not search for Control Rod deposits; manufacture them in an Assembler.
  • Do not expect 4 Rods per minute when either ingredient arrives below its required rate.

When to stop or switch

Stop adding production when planned consumers remain supplied without a persistent surplus.
