CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Iron Plate acquisition

Feed Iron Ingots into a powered Constructor with the Iron Plate recipe selected.

Iron Plates are basic manufactured parts used in recipes for items such as Reinforced Iron Plates, Portable Miners, and Gas Filters. The default recipe runs in a Constructor and turns 3 Iron Ingots into 2 Iron Plates per batch. At 100% clock speed, that line consumes 30 ingots and produces 20 plates per minute. Supply the Constructor with ingots and keep its plate output clear. Alternate recipes can change the ingredients, machine, or yield, so use one only after unlocking it and checking what it needs.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

Unlock the Constructor and Iron Plate recipe.
3 Iron Ingots per default recipe batch.
Power and transport or storage for the plate output.

Make Iron Ingots in a Smelter or bring ingots from existing storage.
Place a Constructor where you can connect its inputs and output.
Power the Constructor and select Iron Plate from its recipe list.
Connect a steady Iron Ingot supply to the input.
Route the Iron Plates to storage or the next machine that needs them.
Check that ingots reach the Constructor and plates can leave it without blockage.

Crafting tips

At 100% clock speed, the default recipe uses 30 Iron Ingots and makes 20 Iron Plates per minute.
Three ingots make two plates in each default recipe batch.
Alternate plate recipes require their own unlocks and may need additional materials.

Repeat, collect and use

Keep ingots flowing and clear the plate output. Add another Constructor if plate demand exceeds what your current line can supply.

Common mistakes

Searching for Iron Plate resource nodes instead of manufacturing the part.
Feeding Iron Ore into the default Constructor recipe; it needs Iron Ingots.
Assuming one ingot makes one plate; the default batch uses three ingots for two plates.
