Before you go
- Unlock the Cable recipe and Constructor.
- Supply Wire and power the Constructor.
Farming steps
- Place and power a Constructor, then select the standard Cable recipe.
- Connect a Wire supply to the Constructor input.
- For a 100% clock, provide up to 60 Wire per minute.
- Collect Cable from the output and route it to Power Line construction or a downstream recipe.
- Check output storage and Wire delivery if the machine pauses or backs up.
- Keep a reserve for building projects if automated recipes also consume Cable.
- Increase Wire supply if the Constructor repeatedly waits for input.
Repeat, collect and use
Run the Constructor while Cable is needed, keeping Wire supply matched to your chosen production rate.
Common mistakes
- Do not feed raw Copper Ore into the standard Cable recipe; it needs Wire.
- Do not plan a 1:1 ratio: each Cable consumes 2 Wire.
When to stop or switch
Throttle or stop production when your Cable reserve is full and downstream demand is covered.
