Smart Plating is Project Part #1. Send it through the Space Elevator to contribute to Project Assembly phases. The standard recipe uses 1 Reinforced Iron Plate and 1 Rotor to produce 1 Smart Plating in an Assembler. Both inputs need steady supply; a shortage of either stops production. An optional Plastic Smart Plating alternate recipe uses different ingredients and yields 2 parts per batch, but it requires its own unlock.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Build an Assembler, choose the standard Smart Plating recipe, and supply Reinforced Iron Plates and Rotors. At 100% clock, the machine uses 2 of each ingredient and produces 2 Smart Plating per minute.

Before you craft

Assembler and Smart Plating recipe unlocked.
1 Reinforced Iron Plate and 1 Rotor per standard batch.

Produce or route Reinforced Iron Plates and Rotors to the same assembly area.
Build and power an Assembler, then select the standard Smart Plating recipe.
Connect each ingredient line to its own input and confirm both are supplied.
Route the output to a container or belt that leads to the Space Elevator.
Check the current Project Assembly demand before deciding how many parts to produce.
Load the Space Elevator shipment when you are ready to submit the parts.

Crafting tips

Buffers on both inputs can smooth uneven delivery and make shortages easier to spot.
Keep a separate count of parts reserved for shipment if other production also uses them.
If you unlock Plastic Smart Plating, its batch consumes 1 Reinforced Iron Plate, 1 Rotor, and 3 Plastic for 2 parts.
