Computer

Computer is a crafting component unlocked and used in the late Development stage. It and the Heavy Modular Frame are the first components the player encounters that require more than 2 crafting ingredients to create and must be constructed in a Manufacturer because of this.

Usage

 * Used to craft

Tips

 * The normal crafting recipe is technically more cost-effective in terms of total resources required, the alternate uses less Copper and no Iron but an abundance of Caterium instead.
 * The alternate recipe makes sense because by far the only use of them is to make High-Speed Connectors and AI limiters. This renders the Computer production a bottleneck. One way to balance them is to use part or all your Caterium for computer production.
 * The alternate requires 128 Crude Oil, 40 Copper Ore, and 112 Caterium Ore and produces 3 Computers whereas 3 Computers made normally require 192 Crude Oil, 84 Copper ore, and 30 Iron ore.
