What are the Space Elevator phases in Satisfactory?

There are five Project Assembly phases: Distribution Platform, Construction Dock, Main Body, Propulsion, and Assembly. Each ships a set of project parts — from 50 Smart Plating in Phase 1 to 1000 Nuclear Pasta and 200 Ballistic Warp Drive in Phase 5.

What does the Space Elevator need first?

Phase 1 needs 50 Smart Plating, which is made from Reinforced Iron Plate and Rotors. Later phases add Versatile Framework, Modular Engines, Adaptive Control Units, and end-game parts.

Satisfactory Space Elevator: Parts & Phases

The Space Elevator drives the whole game through five Project Assembly phases. Here is exactly what each phase ships, with a production calculator for every part so you can build the lines that feed it.

How to plan it

The Space Elevator takes a fixed total of each part, not a per-minute rate — so what matters is throughput versus patience. Pick a comfortable parts-per-minute, build that line with the production calculator (each part above links to its own calculator), and let it run while you tech up.
