The 1.25 p/m increase will help tremendously as there are many uses for the Computer. Anything that takes the Refinery out of the production line will be easier to manage especially for an item that will be used heavily.Ĭaterium Computer – Circuit Board (26.25p/m), Quickwire (105p/m) and Rubber (45p/m) turns into Computer (3.75p/m)īest computer production alternative. It removes the need for the Plastic which is involves the Refinery. Silicone Circuit Board – Copper Sheet (27.5p/m) and Silica (27.5p/m) turns into Circuit Board (12.5p/m)Īnother must-have alternative recipe. The original recipe for Fabric cannot be automated as it requires Biomass and Mycelia which are all manually farmed. This is the most important one as you need this to automate Gas Filters for your Gas Mask as well as your Iodine Infused FIlters for Hazmat Suits. Polyester Fabric – Polymer Resin (80p/m) and Water (50p/m) turns into Fabric (5p/m) There are too many Limestone nodes in the game and if you can use any of these nodes as a substitute for any other resource, it will surely be efficient as you are making something out of nothing. Mid game Tier 5-6Ĭheap Silica – Raw Quartz (11.3p/m) and Limestone (18.8p/m) turns into Silica (26.3p/m) This is only useful if you have the other alternative recipes such as Gun Powder, Compacted Steel Ingot, Turbo Fuel and Turbo Heavy Fuel. There is an abundance of copper throughout the game and this will greatly help you produce Rotors and eventually Motors.īolted Frame – Reinforced Iron Plate (7.5p/m) and Screw (140p/m) turns into Modular Frame (5p/m)Īnother recipe that increases the rate of production on a slow producing material.Ĭompacted Coal – Coal (25p/m) and Sulfur (25p/m) turns into Compacted Coal (25p/m) This increases it by adding a copper resource to the recipe. Rotor is hard to produce as the original recipe only goes at a rate of 4 p/m. Stitches Iron Plate – Iron Plate (18.75p/m) and Wire (37.5p/m) turns into Reinforced Iron Plate (5.625p/m)Īn extremely efficient way to produce Reinforced Iron Plates at an additional cost of using Copper Ores for Wires.Ĭopper Rotor – Copper Sheet (22.5p/m) and Screw (195p/m) turns into Rotor (11.3p/m) Removes the Iron Rod production in a layout which can potentially save more space and also increase the rate of production compared to the original Iron Rod to Screw recipe.īolted Iron Plate – Iron Plate (90 p/m) and Screw (250p/m) turns into Reinforced Iron Plate (15p/m)Īt a cost of producing more screws, you can increase the Reinforced Iron Plate production significantly especially for the early stages. P/m – parts per minute* Early game Tier 1-4įor the early game, these alternate recipes will be the most useful ones.Ĭasted Screw – Iron Ingot (12.5 p/m) turns into Screw (50 p/m) Alternative Recipes Tier List – What to Prioritize The Hard Drives are not only pinpointed to their exact location but also the exact requirements needed to open them. The best way to make yourself prepared when exploring for crash sites is to visit the interactive map in the Satisfactory Calculator website. These requirements can range from just requiring the pod to be powered with a cable through a power line all the way up to a bunch of Supercomputers. The only difference is that most crash sites and drop pods will need requirements to be opened before getting the hard drives. Hard Drives can be easy to find since they are located in crash sites and inside drop pods. The location of where the Hard Drive was acquired does not affect the selection of alternate Satisfactory recipes after the research.

It takes about 10 minutes to research a single Satisfactory Hard Drive and after the research, you will have to choose between 3 different alternate recipes. The only way to unlock Satisfactory alternative recipes is through researching Hard Drives that you have found. It gives more flexibility and unlocking the best ones are one of the most important things to do when trying to set up a big production facility or a factory. Alternative recipes are primarily used for creating a product with a different set of materials required to produce them.
