About this converter
Fabricator recipes charge input counts with totals sorting here and recipes in context. Silicone Rubber needs 1 Creepvine Seed Cluster for 2 output. Copper Wire needs 2 Copper Ore. Wiring Kit needs 2 Silver Ore. Battery needs 2 Acid Mushroom plus 1 Copper Ore for 3 total. Power Cell needs 2 Battery plus 1 Silicone Rubber for 3 total with input charge ignored. Ion Battery needs 1 Ion Cube plus 1 Gold plus 1 Silver Ore for 3 total behind the Orange Data Terminal. Ion Power Cell needs 2 Ion Battery plus 1 Silicone Rubber for 3 total. Computer Chip needs 2 Coral plus 1 Gold plus 1 Copper Wire for 4 total. Capacities run Battery 100, Power Cell 200 vehicles only, Ion Battery 500 and Ion Power Cell 1000 with 5x charge times on Ion lines. Below Zero Ribbon Plant batteries use a different version and stay out.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Ion Power Cell capacity against Battery capacity to see the 1000 to 100 energy span. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1. Craft totals and capacities share material math with roles labeled.
Input charge on batteries fed to Power Cells does not change the recipe. Wiring Kit and Copper Wire are sub-inputs with their own rows. 1 Titanium Ingot equals 10 Titanium conversions from the vehicles page are not mixed here. Omitted: Prawn Ion Cell swaps, which use vehicle tables, not fabricator math.
