CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Reinforced Iron Plate acquisition

This is a manufactured part, not a deposit. After unlocking the recipe and Assembler, bring Iron Plates and Screws to that machine. It can also be crafted in the Workshop when unlocked.

Reinforced Iron Plates are sturdy components used by Modular Frame and Smart Plating production, among other crafting recipes. Produce them in an Assembler from Iron Plates and Screws. At 100% clock, the machine consumes 30 plates and 60 screws per minute to make five plates per minute; screws are often the limiting feed.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

Unlock the Reinforced Iron Plate recipe and Assembler.
Iron Plates and Screws.

Produce Iron Plates and Screws from their respective supply chains.
Place an Assembler and select Reinforced Iron Plate.
Connect both ingredient belts and confirm they deliver steadily.
Start production and collect the output.
Route plates to Modular Frame, Smart Plating, or another intended consumer.
If crafting in the Workshop, provide six Iron Plates and twelve Screws per batch.

Crafting tips

One Assembler batch uses six Iron Plates and twelve Screws to produce one Reinforced Iron Plate.
Watch screw throughput closely; a shortage there stops the line even with plates available.

Repeat, collect and use

Compare consumer demand with Assembler output and expand the limiting ingredient supply before duplicating the machine.

Common mistakes

Searching for Reinforced Iron Plates at a node instead of making them.
Feeding Iron Plates but neglecting the Screws input.

When to stop or switch

Stop when production consistently meets the construction and production recipes you are supporting.
