Before you go
- Particle Accelerator and Nuclear Pasta recipe unlocked
- 200 Copper Powder and 1 Pressure Conversion Cube per batch
- Power capacity for 500–1,500 MW variable demand
Farming steps
- Unlock the Particle Accelerator and Nuclear Pasta recipe through progression.
- Set up Copper Powder production and supply 200 powder per recipe batch.
- Produce Pressure Conversion Cubes and route 1 cube per batch to the accelerator.
- Connect the machine to a power grid that can accommodate variable demand up to 1,500 MW.
- Start production and send the finished Nuclear Pasta to the Space Elevator or Singularity Cell production.
- Each batch consumes 200 Copper Powder and 1 Pressure Conversion Cube and produces 1 Nuclear Pasta.
- At 100% clock, the recipe uses 100 Copper Powder and 0.5 Pressure Conversion Cube per minute, yielding 0.5 Nuclear Pasta per minute.
- Power averages 1,000 MW but can vary from 500 to 1,500 MW.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep both ingredient lines supplied and the power grid stable while you need Nuclear Pasta. Check the output route before increasing production.
Common mistakes
- Searching for a Nuclear Pasta resource deposit instead of manufacturing it.
- Planning for a constant 500 MW draw and overlooking the possible rise to 1,500 MW.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the Space Elevator delivery target or planned Singularity Cell stock is met.
