Alternative production recipes

Each recipe below is a separate production option. Its listed inputs are used together; inputs from different options are not all required.

Recipe 1 · required inputs

2 Fish units
1 Sheet Metal units

→

Output

2 Canned Food units

Baseline: 182.5 cycles per default simulation year. Actual throughput depends on deliveries and operating conditions.

Recipe 2 · required inputs

2 Meat units
1 Sheet Metal units

→

Output

2 Canned Food units

Baseline: 182.5 cycles per default simulation year. Actual throughput depends on deliveries and operating conditions.

Restrictions

Economies: Temperate, Dry, Tropical, Subarctic

Storage

Fish: 400 units (Input stock)
Meat: 400 units (Input stock)
Sheet Metal: 200 units (Input stock)
Canned Food: 200 units (Output stock)

Production

Recipe cycle frequencies accompany each production recipe. Actual output depends on available inputs, productivity boosts and plots.
Worker boost: at least 10 workers arriving by a passenger line within two default simulation years; productivity increases by 1.5–2.5× while the condition is met.
