Plan B Terraform – Supply Ratios and Chains Guide for Beginners

All the numbers for how it’s made from basic materials to top tech.

What’s Inside

Below are tables of production and resource demand to keep 1 production building active at max capacity for 1 game year.

These figures DON’T take into account bottlenecks with Transport or insufficient drones.

I have collected all the numbers right down to how many extractors are needed to run a Composite factory or a Pumping Station.

لكن, keeping that all neat and readable means I can only add in Raw material extraction rates for the more basic resources. If you like me to add a section that just lists extraction types and rates for everything I can do that.

Composite basic resource extraction is :

• 120 حديد – 8 Excavators
• 10 نتروجين – 2 Ice Extractors
• 90 Carbon – 7.5 Atmospheric Extractors

Pumping Station :

• 72 الكبريت – 4.8 Excavators
• 72 حديد – 4.8 Excavators
• 16 Alum Ore – 1.06 Excavators
• 12 carbon – 1 Atmospheric Extractor

All info presented was collected by hand from a completed game, on the first early access version and as such is subject to change or error.

I will try to present a lot of numbers and information in the neatest and most readable way I can.

Basic Raw Material Production Rates

Raw Materials are mined with an Excavator on mineral fields or specialist buildings that become unlocked during the game.

Production Rates are given in produced Per game year

Raw Resource	Extraction Rate	Extractor
حديد	15	Excavator
الكبريت	15	Excavator
Aluminum Ore	15	Excavator
Fluorite	15	Excavator
carbon	12	Atmospheric Extractor
O2	12	Atmospheric Extractor
نتروجين	5	Ice Extractor
ماء	5	Ice Extractor
ماء	30	Water Pump

Factory Production

Most game resources are produced in the factory.

Product rate is given in Produced per Game year.

For raw resources, the number of extractors is listed in the Factory’s column.

Product	Produced	Resource 1	Factorys	Resource 2	Factorys
Steel	30	90 حديد	6 Excavator
أسمنت	30	90 الكبريت	6 Excavator
Aluminum Bar	30	60 Aluminum Ore	4 Excavator
Mechanical Parts	30	30 Steel	1
Reinforced Concrete	30	30 أسمنت	1	30 Steel	1
Polymer	30	90 Carbon	7.5 Atmospheric Extractor
Hightech Parts	90	60 Aluminum	2	30 Polymer	1
Compost	30	60 Carbon	5 Atmospheric Extractor	30 نتروجين	6 Ice Extractor
Tempered Steel	90	120 Steel	4	30 نتروجين	6 Ice Extractor
Composite	30	30 Tempered Steel	0.33	30 Polymer	1

Recycling Production

The amount of recyclable Waste will increase over time as the cities get bigger.

You can see its yearly Waste amount by selecting the Waste Disposal building.

While the Waste Disposal will fill with all types of waste you can process it from different waste disposal buildings so don’t feel pressured into fitting all the outputs into just one area.

Production rates are given in Produced per Game year

الإخراج 1	الإخراج 2	Waste	Resource	Factory
60 Steel	30 Aluminum	180 معدن
30 Polymer	60 Plastic
30 Compost	5 Organic	30 نتروجين	6 Ice Extractor

Greenhouse – Keeping People Fed.

Greenhouse has the Sole purpose of making food for the big cities and the main consumer of water. All inputs can be traced to Raw resources.

Table shows everything to be Self Sustaining.

Production rates Given in Production per Game year

Produced	Resource 1	مصدر	Resource 2	Factory
60 طعام	120 ماء	4 Water Pump 24 Ice Extractor	30 Compost	1 Factory 1 Recycle Plant

Required Compost

Produced	Resource 1	Factorys	Resource 2	Factorys
30 Compost	60 Carbon	5 Atmospheric Extractor	30 نتروجين	6 Ice Extractors
30 Compost	150 Organic Waste	City Waste	30 نتروجين	6 Ice Extractors

Terraforming

This section is for things that make the planet a nicer place to live. Greenhouse gases and pretty green trees.

Product	Resource 1	Factorys	Resource 2	Factorys
30 NF3	30 نتروجين	6 Ice Extractor	30 Fluorite	2 Excavator
30 SF6	30 Sulfer	2 Excavator	30 Fluorite	2 Excavator
12 شجرة الصنوبر	36 Carbon	3 Atmospheric Extractor	12 ماء	2.4 Ice Extractor 0.4 Water Pump
12 Eucalyptus Tree	36 Carbon	3 Atmospheric Extractor	12 ماء	2.4 Ice Extractor 0.4 Water Pump

Do you really want to have your buildings being made at full tilt? Well here are the numbers anyway..

كمية	Building	Resource 1	Factorys	Resource 2	Factory
12	Excavators	36 Steel	1.2
12	Factory	30 Machanical Parts	1
12	Assembly Plant	30 Machanical Parts	1

Finished

I’m glad that’s over, It took far to long fix spelling errors and formatting. (for some reason I kept marking mechanical parts as 3 steel instead of 1 so that got confusing)

ما زال, I hope it helped just a little if so it was worth the time. Remember all Info taken from the First Early Access version so subject to change.

It’s a shame I couldn’t fit all my gathered info into nice neat tables but my notes are not exactly user-friendly.

على سبيل المثال:

12 pumping stations – 2 reinforced concrete, 1 high tech parts – 24 reinforced concrete(0.8), 12 high tech parts(0.13) – 24 concrete(0.8), 24 steel(0.8),8 Alum(0.26) 4 polymer(0.13) – 72 sulfer 4.8 exv, 72 حديد 4.8 exv, 16 alum ore 1.06 exv, 12 carbon 1 atmos

But if you think a total breakdown like this would be useful id certainly consider it.
