The Chain
This is the production chain, the top of the image contains most of the components, items and resources you will be using.


Water is only used for agriculture and has a seperate section down the bottom.

Energy cells do not require any input to create and are used for everything and are located at the bottom of the chart.

Also near the bottom you will find the legend, some items are used as both a finished product and an intermediate product.

This chart is optimised for finding what is required to make a fixed product, so some lines have been dotted to make them easier to follow down the chain (Right to left).


Thanks reddit users for your feedback.
Changes made:
Formatting changed to make the chart easier to read and fit on smaller screens.
And to make it less bright when viewed on a second monitor
Errors Corrected.
Nvidium and Medical Supplies Added

OK, thanks anyway, I'll see if I can hunt something down and make scribbles on the printout :) thanks for taking the time to do this, much clearer than the 3 images in the wiki I found.

Thanks for the link. Where can I find the food production chain updates?
PyroChiliarch  [author] 29 Oct, 2022 @ 6:13am 
The only changes I'm aware of is the Food chain production from the updates.
Redoing it would require remaking the whole thing all over again :(
