Wire is a basic manufactured part used in many production chains and equipment recipes. The standard automated recipe turns Copper Ingots into Wire in a Constructor. Cable, Stators, and equipment such as the Xeno-Zapper also draw on Wire, so consider those demands when deciding where to send the output.

How to craft
Build and power a Constructor, then select Wire. Each batch consumes 1 Copper Ingot and produces 2 Wire. At 100% clock, the Constructor makes 30 Wire per minute from 15 Copper Ingots per minute. Wire can also be made manually in the Equipment Workshop.
Before you craft
Constructor and Wire recipe unlocked for automated production, or access to the Equipment Workshop for manual crafting.
Copper Ingots supplied to the Constructor.
Build and power a Constructor near your Copper Ingot supply.
Select the Wire recipe and connect Copper Ingots to its solid input.
Make sure the Constructor’s output has room or a connected belt.
Route Wire to storage or directly to a recipe that needs it.
Check the demand from other lines before splitting the supply.
For manual production, open the Equipment Workshop and select Wire.
Crafting tips
At 100% clock, one Constructor uses 15 Copper Ingots and outputs 30 Wire per minute.
Track shared demand if several machines or equipment recipes draw from the same Wire line.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Constructor supplied and its output clear while you need Wire; collect or route the output as it accumulates.
Common mistakes
Searching for Wire as a raw resource instead of making it from Copper Ingots.
Splitting a limited Wire supply among several recipes without checking their combined demand.
When to stop or switch
Stop or redirect production when you have enough Wire or need the Copper Ingots for another product.
Build and power a Constructor, then select Wire. Each batch consumes 1 Copper Ingot and produces 2 Wire. At 100% clock, the Constructor makes 30 Wire per minute from 15 Copper Ingots per minute. Wire can also be made manually in the Equipment Workshop.
