Production processes

Conversions, fuel byproducts and device recipes. Each batch uses the input quantities shown below.

Batch preparationSulfur + Charcoal → Gun Powder

Process batches

Consumed inputs
Sulfur	×20
Charcoal	×20

Output
Gun Powder	×10

Batch time: 1 sec, Total: 1 sec. Default recipe cost; game modes may change ingredient amounts.

Unlocked output blueprint required.

Ingredient slot order: 1. Sulfur ×10 → 2. Charcoal ×10 → 3. Sulfur ×10 → 4. Charcoal ×10. Keep ingredients contiguous in this order.

Consumed inputs
Wood	×1

Expected output
Charcoal	×0.75

An average over many operations, not a guaranteed result for this quantity. Fractional output uses probabilistic rounding. Chance per consumed fuel unit: 75%.

Native fuel reserve per item: 10. This is not a duration: oven drain scales with temperature. Charcoal requires a device that permits byproducts.

Native progress per consumed item: 60 sec. This is progress, not elapsed device time. The device divides its speed among active input stacks; pause, power, fuel and free output space affect completion.

Device time scenario

DeviceActive input stacks

Selected stack completion: 0.5 min

Scenario for the selected quantity in one input stack, with a constant active-stack count and native device speed. Assumes continuous fuel/power, valid temperature and free output slots. Pauses and server overrides are excluded.
