Encased Plutonium Cells are an intermediate for producing Plutonium Fuel Rods, which supply nuclear power. The default recipe uses Plutonium Pellets and Concrete, so the main bottleneck is steady access to both inputs and a powered Assembler. The cell itself is moderately radioactive; plan how you will handle it before expanding production.

GET STARTED
How to craft
Make it in an Assembler after unlocking the recipe and building. It is not collected from a resource deposit. Plutonium Pellets and Concrete are the named inputs; arrange their production and delivery to the Assembler.
Before you craft
Assembler and Encased Plutonium Cell recipe unlocked.
2 Plutonium Pellets and 4 Concrete per batch.
A safe handling and storage plan for radioactive output.
Unlock the Encased Plutonium Cell recipe and Assembler if they are not available.
Produce or route Plutonium Pellets and Concrete to the production site.
Place an Assembler and select Encased Plutonium Cell.
Feed 2 Plutonium Pellets and 4 Concrete for each batch.
Connect power and output belts, then send cells to Plutonium Fuel Rod production.
At 100% clock, expect 5 cells per minute; adjust input supply to match.
Crafting tips
The default recipe produces no coproduct.
A listed optional alternate route to Plutonium Fuel Rods uses an Assembler and is an optional unlock.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep both inputs flowing; at 100% clock supply 10 Plutonium Pellets and 20 Concrete per minute for 5 cells per minute.
Common mistakes
Searching for a Plutonium Cell deposit instead of manufacturing it.
Ignoring the cell's radioactivity or starving the Assembler of either input.
When to stop or switch
Stop or throttle production when the intended fuel-rod line or safe radioactive handling capacity is full.
