About this converter
Dyson Sphere Program early recipes run 1 to 6 seconds per craft at 1x speed. Iron Ingot, Copper Ingot, Gear, Magnetic Coil, Circuit Board and Sorter Mk.I at 1 second open the table; Coil and Board output 2 per craft. Magnet at 1.5 seconds is the only half step. Assembling Machine Mk.I at 2 seconds opens machine crafts. Processor and Mining Machine at 3 seconds follow. Wind Turbine at 4 seconds covers early power. Solar Panel at 6 seconds tops with copper, silicon and boards as inputs. Values are seconds per craft operation from Dyson Sphere Wiki recipe tables, with exact inputs in context.
How to use it
Pick two recipes and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first recipe, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds seconds. Try Solar Panel against Iron Ingot to see the longest against the shortest.
Times are per craft operation at 1x assembler speed, not per item where outputs exceed 1. Sorter and assembler speeds change wall clock rates and sit outside recipe rows. Late game rows like green science and rockets sit past this early cut. Inputs in context come from the same Wiki tables and do not feed the converter.
