Inductor

Inductor is a crafting material used in various recipes and can be exported. It is produced in the Furnace and serves as a component for multiple intermediate and advanced items. Inductor functions as a recurring ingredient in crafting chains for building materials, electronics, batteries, coils and related components.

Inductor is obtained by crafting in the Furnace. The Furnace recipe requires 2 Tube, 1 Wolfram Wire, and 2 Ceramics, takes 3 seconds, and yields 1 Inductor. The recipe for the Inductor in the Recipe Station (under the Furnace category) must be unlocked first; unlocking that Furnace recipe costs 600 Ceramics, 600 Tube, 300 Wolfram Wire, and 600 Data Points.

Inductor can be exported to corporations. Available export buyers and their offers:

• Griffits Blue Corporation — Level 7 buyer, value 70, rewards 80 War Bonds.
• Clever Robotics — Level 9 buyer, value 110, rewards Teleporter.

Common crafting uses for Inductor (recipes that consume Inductor as an ingredient):

• Intermediate Building Material (Basic Item Printer): 1 Inductor + 1 Titanium Housing + 20 Basic Building Material + 1 Glass → 10 Intermediate Building Material (0 seconds).
• Intermediate Building Material (Mega Press): 2 Inductor + 2 Titanium Housing + 40 Basic Building Material + 2 Glass → 25 Intermediate Building Material (6 seconds).
• Battery (Mega Press): 2 Inductor + 2 Electronics + 1 Sulphuric Acid → 1 Battery (4 seconds).
• Electromagnetic Coil (Mega Press): 1 Inductor + 1 Pressurized Helium + 6 Wolfram Plate + 1 Supermagnet → 1 Electromagnetic Coil (4 seconds).
• Electronics (Furnace): 1 Inductor + 2 Synthetic Silicon + 1 Stator → 1 Electronics (5 seconds).

Practical notes:

• Unlock the Furnace recipe in the Recipe Station before attempting production; the unlock costs are significant in raw materials and Data Points.
• The Furnace yields one Inductor per craft and has a short craft duration (3 seconds), so batch production scales linearly with available Furnace capacity and input materials.
• Exporting to Clever Robotics yields higher value per Inductor but requires a higher buyer level than Griffits Blue Corporation. Choose export destination based on unlocked buyer levels and desired rewards.
