Fabricator
Multi-purpose assembly machine for mechanical components. Produces rods, wires, plates, rotors, stators, and complex assemblies. Recipes range from 1-6 seconds. ~60 IPM for most recipes.
Fabricator is a production machine on the Selenian track, unlocked at Selenian Level 2 (Corporate Terminal reward). Fabricator is listed at 10 MW draw.
Recipes on this page: Basic Building Material at 300/min (10 Basic Building Material); Titanium Rod at 30/min (1 Titanium Rod); Titanium Sheet at 60/min (2 Titanium Sheet); Titanium Beam at 60/min (3 Titanium Beam). 9 more recipes are in the table below. Add machines from these rates after the in-game tooltip matches this save.
The first Fabricator matters because it is the point where many current live-baseline saves stop feeling like starter smelting and start feeling like repeatable factory progression. For many players, that practical handoff starts around Selenian Level 2.
If your Smelter and Furnace are no longer enough, the Fabricator is usually the first machine that turns rods, wires, plates, and rotor parts into a stable production problem instead of a constant hand-crafting problem.
It also changes how you should think about throughput. A single Fabricator does not look scary on paper, but once you depend on several of them, the supporting miners, smelters, and belts around that line can push your grid harder than the headline machine count suggests.
What to open next: check the corporations hub if you are still validating the unlock route, revisit the getting-started guide if the base around the first Fabricator is unstable, and open the power-scaling guide before you stack more Fabricators onto a grid that is already close to the limit.
