Unlocking all recipes
Do we know what happens if you've unlocked all but one of the alternative recipes? Does it show the same recipe three times in the M.A.M? What if everything is unlocked? --CerbrusNL (talk) 07:51, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * As there is currently only 17 Recipes available, And I have collected 18 hard drives so far. When I done researched the 17th drive, there is only 1 choice, not 3 duplicated choices. And completing the 18th drive will simply crash the game, regardless if the engineer opened the MAM UI or not. Crash happens even if the engineer is not at the base. -- Kwjcool321 (talk) 14:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * So, you can research the 18th drive, but the research just finishes with no rewards? The M.A.M. just resets to an "idle" state? --CerbrusNL (talk) 15:14, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Update, you cannot research the 18th drive as it will crash the game once it complete the research. -- Kwjcool321 (talk) 15:16, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Ingredients multiplied by 3
As for original recipes, should the original ingredients be multiplied by 3 so that the comparison can be justified? --Kwjcool321 (talk) 20:57, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * No, not all recipes multiply the output items by 3. I've added a footnote. --CerbrusNL (talk) 21:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Comparing alternate and original recipes
Could someone come out with an idea to add in the info about comparison of the alternative recipes compared to the original? For example the raw resources consumed. For me the item per minutes doesn't really matter, what matter is the items consumed to make another item. --Kwjcool321 (talk) 05:21, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Alternate recipe infobox
I have looked at the biomass page. I would suggest create a new infobox for every possible alternative recipe, such as for steel ingot. That means that would be 3 infoboxes for steel ingot. This will make the crafting usage for respective ingredients automatically updated, easing the maintenance. --Kwjcool321 (talk) 08:22, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Quickwire Cable
Quickwire Cable isn't an available recipe in the game as of Build 99427. 68.43.207.195 22:04, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It is listed as a recipe in the official data-file. Maybe you haven't unlocked it yet ingame? --Cadaei (talk) 08:14, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

I've DM'd you on Discord @Cadaei if you want to discuss it there, if not here's a copy of my DM to you;

Can confirm from 3 different members, including greeny, that the Quickwire Cable recipe is not unlockable via HDDs. Attempting to unlock the recipe will spit the HDD back out stating there aren't any available alt recipes on a fully unlocked save. It is also not unlockable via a HUB milestone, and cannot be seen in the Assembler. Greeny also doesn't use that recipe in his calculator because it's not available in the game. 68.43.207.195 16:24, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
