Guides for Power
All guides- Factorio steam power ratio: 2 steam engines per boiler (1:20:40)Each boiler feeds 2 steam engines, and one offshore pump feeds 20 boilers: the 1 : 20 : 40 steam ratio, the power it makes and how much coal it burns.Read
- Factorio solar panel to accumulator ratio (Nauvis)The 0.84 accumulators per solar panel ratio on Nauvis, how many panels you need per megawatt day and night, and why other planets differ.Read
- Factorio oil processing ratio: refineries and crackingThe 20 : 5 : 17 ratio of refineries, heavy oil cracking and light oil cracking for all-petroleum oil, with the numbers per second and smaller builds.Read
- Factorio nuclear reactor ratio: heat exchangers and turbinesHow many heat exchangers and steam turbines each nuclear reactor layout needs, the neighbour bonus, and the power of 1, 2, 4 and 8 reactor setups.Read
