Direct answer
Use the table to identify the complete machine chain, required workstation, listed base output and output at 100% Factory Worker value, and exact ingredient quantities for each finished product. Machine and item names remain in English so they can be matched directly to the game.
How to read the recipe table
Start with the Product column, then treat Machines / Workstation as one complete requirement rather than a menu of alternatives. A row containing Industrial Blending Machine, Bottling Machine, Food Assembly Machine and Bottled Goods Workstation requires that listed chain and station for the product. Stable in-game names are retained in English so a name can be matched directly in the factory interface without ambiguity from translation.
The Output column preserves the two values exposed by the recipe source: the listed base output followed by the output marked for a 100% Factory Worker. Ingredients are per listed recipe batch and should not be silently converted into boxes, purchase orders or hourly rates. For example, Soda Can lists 125 / 250 output and requires 250 Water, 250 Sugar, 250 Carbon Dioxide and 250 Cola Flavoring. The table does not claim a cycle time because no verified timing accompanies these rows.
- Product is the finished item.
- Every listed machine and workstation is part of the row.
- Output is shown as base / 100% Factory Worker.
- Ingredient quantities are per listed batch.
- No unverified timing or hourly throughput is added.

Recognize the recurring machine families
Food products frequently use Industrial Blending Machine and Food Assembly Machine, with Automated Baking Machine added for products such as Burger, Croissant, Cupcake, Donut, Pizza and Salad. Bottled drinks pair the blending and assembly machines with Bottling Machine and Bottled Goods Workstation. Garden products instead use Hydroponic Planter, Food Assembly Machine and Garden Workstation. These are patterns visible in the verified rows, not permission to replace the exact requirements of an individual recipe.
Consumer goods commonly combine Laser Cutting Machine with Consumer Goods Assembly Machine, then use a product-specific workstation such as Consumer Goods Workstation, Jewelry Workstation or Clothing Workstation. Jewelry also adds Polishing Machine, while clothing adds Industrial Sewing Machine. Electronics rows use Kiln Machine, Laser Cutting Machine, Consumer Goods Assembly Machine and Electronics Workstation. Confirm the selected row before purchasing equipment, because machine prices are substantial and similar-looking products can use different ingredients.
- Food lines may add Automated Baking Machine.
- Bottled products require Bottling Machine and Bottled Goods Workstation.
- Garden rows use Hydroponic Planter and Garden Workstation.
- Jewelry adds Polishing Machine.
- Clothing adds Industrial Sewing Machine.
- Electronics uses the kiln, laser cutter and electronics workstation.
Turn a recipe into an input plan
Copy every ingredient from the chosen row into the factory’s purchasing and storage plan. Do not omit small quantities: Popcorn needs 200 Popcorn Kernels and 10 Butter, while Paper Bag needs only 2 Paper Ream for its listed 250 / 500 output. Multi-input recipes can be much broader; Salad needs Vinaigrette, Bag of Lettuce, Bag of Tomatoes, Pepper and Onion. The exact list matters because a missing input can stop the intended production chain.
Keep ingredient stock and finished output storage distinct enough to diagnose shortages and full shelves. The recipe values describe production, not a recommended reorder target. A practical target depends on the current cycle behavior, worker coverage, destination demand and delivery rules, none of which are completely quantified by these recipe rows. Begin with the verified batch relationship, observe consumption in the current game version, and adjust purchasing without presenting an unsupported universal stock formula.
- Copy every ingredient and quantity.
- Do not interpret units as boxes.
- Reserve input and output storage.
- Treat recipe quantities as batch relationships, not reorder targets.
- Observe current consumption before scaling orders.
Verify the row before committing equipment
Use the exact selected row as the build checklist: product, every machine, workstation, both output values and every ingredient. Similar categories are not interchangeable. Cheap and Expensive Jewelry use different Uncut Gems and different output values; cheap and expensive clothing use different Fabric grades and outputs. Likewise, smartphones and smartwatches share an electronics machine family but have materially different component quantities. Verify the full name, including style, quality and gender where present.
The machine catalogue confirms the machine names and shows that equipment represents a significant commitment, but this page does not turn catalogue prices into profitability claims. Recipe output alone cannot prove the best product, margin or layout because purchase costs, sales demand, staffing and export-price effects are separate variables. Use the table as an implementation reference, then check the current in-game interface if a patch changes a name, value or recipe before rebuilding a large production floor.
- Match the complete product name.
- Do not substitute Cheap and Expensive ingredients.
- Check all component quantities for electronics.
- Use output values without inferring profit.
- Recheck changed values after game updates.
Frequently asked questions
Are the machines in a row alternatives?
No. Read the listed machines and workstation as the complete requirement for that product unless the current game interface explicitly shows a changed recipe.
What do the two output numbers mean?
The recipe source lists a base output and a second output marked for a 100% Factory Worker. This table preserves them in that order and does not convert them to an hourly rate.
Does the table prove which product is most profitable?
No. It verifies recipe requirements and outputs, not current ingredient costs, demand, wages, delivery expenses or export-price changes.
