Satisfactory Automated Wiring Calculator

Every Automated Wiring recipe compared

Rates and recipe power are per building at 100% clock, without Somersloops. The full raw-resource bill expands Stator, Cable and every other intermediate using the standard supporting recipes named below. Chain power includes those production buildings; resource extraction, pumps and byproduct processing are additional.

Byproducts receive no material or power credit. Keep any supporting recipe’s surplus outlet flowing into a consuming process; processing requires additional buildings and power.

Which Automated Wiring recipe should I use?

• For a simple Space Elevator supply line: Automated Wiring uses Stators and Cable with standard steel and copper support. Choose it when you want to avoid the High-Speed Connector chain.
• When High-Speed Connectors are available: Automated Speed Wiring uses less copper with standard support, but adds Caterium and oil supply chains; choose it when High-Speed Connectors are already available.

See alternate-recipe resource comparisons for other production chains.

Space Elevator Phase 2: 100 Automated Wiring

Deliver 100 Automated Wiring as one part of Phase 2, alongside 1,000 Smart Plating and 1,000 Versatile Framework. The complete delivery unlocks Tiers 5 and 6. This is a batch quantity at 1× requirements. With standard supporting recipes and no stored intermediates, the 100 Automated Wiring alone require:

• 450 Iron Ore
• 450 Coal
• 2,400 Copper Ore

• 2.5/min standard plan: 40 minutes of supplied production for the batch. See its Assemblers, upstream buildings, raw resources/min and MW in the linked plan.
• 5/min standard plan: 20 minutes of supplied production for the batch. See its Assemblers, upstream buildings, raw resources/min and MW in the linked plan.
• 10/min standard plan: 10 minutes of supplied production for the batch. See its Assemblers, upstream buildings, raw resources/min and MW in the linked plan.
• 20/min standard plan: 5 minutes of supplied production for the batch. See its Assemblers, upstream buildings, raw resources/min and MW in the linked plan.

These times assume the line is already supplied; startup and delivery add time. Use the standard recipe for a Stator-and-Cable line, or compare Automated Speed Wiring if High-Speed Connector production and the alternate are available. Space Elevator phase guide.

Automated Wiring production plans

Start with the standard 5/min connection diagram below. Compare 2.5, 5, 10, 20 /min with either recipe. Every plan includes all upstream production buildings.

Build the whole counts and set each recipe group to its listed clock. Parentheses show fractional full-clock equivalents, not extra machines. Shared intermediate production is combined across all input branches. Split each shared output between the downstream recipes at their required rates. Match extraction and belt or pipe capacity to the raw-resource rates below.

Power at the listed clocks uses buildings × base MW × (clock / 100)^1.321929. The calculator uses fractional full-clock equivalents. Displayed values are rounded; use the target rate to set production. Resource extraction, pumps and byproduct processing are additional. Use the miner calculator for solid-resource extraction and belt limits.

Automated Wiring 5/min build order and connection diagram (standard recipe)

Build in dependency order below. Each row is one recipe group at a uniform clock. Ore extraction is separate: feed the listed raw rates into these production buildings. This standard chain uses Steel Pipes, Stators and Cable; Iron Rods and Screws are not required.

Automated Wiring conveyor links and manifolds

Merge each recipe group onto its output trunk, then branch shared materials to downstream manifolds. Minimum belt tiers are capacity requirements, not equal-split ratios. Underclocked consumers set demand; let manifolds fill before judging throughput. Balanced alternatives use the existing splitter calculator’s tree or loopback construction; their common segment carries the fresh rate × leaves / outputs and may need a faster belt. The counts below describe a serial manifold construction using two active ports per splitter or merger; unused ports stay disconnected.

1. Build 1 × Foundry for Steel Ingot at approximately 50% each. Supply 22.5 Iron Ore and 22.5 Coal per minute. Collect 22.5 Steel Ingot per minute, then connect to the downstream groups shown above.
2. Build 1 × Constructor for Steel Pipe at approximately 75% each. Supply 22.5 Steel Ingot per minute. Collect 15 Steel Pipe per minute, then connect to the downstream groups shown above.
3. Build 4 × Smelter for Copper Ingot at approximately 100% each. Supply 120 Copper Ore per minute. Collect 120 Copper Ingot per minute, then connect to the downstream groups shown above.
4. Build 8 × Constructor for Wire at approximately 100% each. Supply 120 Copper Ingot per minute. Collect 240 Wire per minute, then connect to the downstream groups shown above.
5. Build 1 × Assembler for Stator at approximately 100% each. Supply 15 Steel Pipe and 40 Wire per minute. Collect 5 Stator per minute, then connect to the downstream groups shown above.
6. Build 4 × Constructor for Cable at approximately 83.3333% each. Supply 200 Wire per minute. Collect 100 Cable per minute, then connect to the downstream groups shown above.
7. Build 2 × Assembler for Automated Wiring at approximately 100% each. Supply 5 Stator and 100 Cable per minute. Collect 5 Automated Wiring per minute, then send it to storage or Space Elevator delivery.

Manifold counts use one tap between consecutive machines and one branch between consecutive destinations. These are a reproducible connection choice, not a claim of the minimum balanced splitter tree. Compare balanced conveyor splits.

Where is Automated Wiring used?

These recipes consume Automated Wiring directly. Consumption is per downstream building at 100% clock; use the per-product ratio to size a shared supply line.

Space Elevator Automated Wiring demand by phase

Phase totals are our calculation from stored standard downstream recipes. Game data v1.2.3.1 exported 2026-06-25 · computed 2026-11-08. The Project Assembly phase table’s retrieval date was not recorded. Totals cover each full delivery batch at 1× requirements with no prebuilt inventory. Direct Automated Wiring deliveries are labelled separately from Automated Wiring embedded in other parts through standard downstream recipes. Alternate downstream recipes can change embedded demand.
