Below are tables of production and resource demand to keep 1 production building active at max capacity for 1 in game year.
We know that there are people who have a hard time finishing the Plan B Terraform game. If you are one of those who find it difficult to finish the game, let’s take you to our Plan B Terraform guide.
Plan B Terraform Supply Chains and Ratios
Welcome to our Plan B Terraform Supply Chains and Ratios guide. Below are tables of production and resource demand to keep 1 production building active at max capacity for 1 in game year.
These figures DON’T take into account bottlenecks with Transport or insufficient drones.
I have collected all the number right down to how many extractors are needed to run a Composite factory, or a Pumping Station.
However keeping that all neat and readable means i can only add in Raw material extraction rates for the more basic resources. If you like me to add a section that just lists extraction types and rates for everything i can do that. eg –
Composite basic resource extraction is :-
- 120 Iron – 8 Excavators
- 10 Nitrogen – 2 Ice Extractors
- 90 Carbon – 7.5 Atmospheric Extractors
Pumping Station :-
- 72 Sulfur – 4.8 Excavators
- 72 Iron – 4.8 Excavators
- 16 Alum Ore – 1.06 Excavators
- 12 carbon – 1 Atmospheric Extractor
All info presented was collected by hand from a completed game, on the first early access version and as such is subject to change or error.
Basic Raw Material Production Rates.
Raw Materials are mined with an Excavator on mineral fields or specialist buildings that become unlocked during the game.
Production Rates are given in produced Per game year
Raw Resource | Extraction Rate | Extractor |
Iron | 15 | Excavator |
Sulfur | 15 | Excavator |
Aluminum Ore | 15 | Excavator |
Fluorite | 15 | Excavator |
carbon | 12 | Atmospheric Extractor |
O2 | 12 | Atmospheric Extractor |
Nitrogen | 5 | Ice Extractor |
Water | 5 | Ice Extractor |
Water | 30 | Water Pump |
Factory Production
Most game resources are produced in the factory,
Product rate is given in Produced per Game year.
For raw resources the number of extractors is listed in the Factory’s column.

Compost | 30 | 60 Carbon | 5 Atmospheric Extractor | 30 Nitrogen | 6 Ice Extractor |
Tempered Steel | 90 | 120 Steel | 4 | 30 Nitrogen | 6 Ice Extractor |
Composite | 30 | 30 Tempered Steel | 0.33 | 30 Polymer | 1 |
Recycling Production
The amount of recyclable Waste will increase over time as the cities get bigger.
You can see its yearly Waste amount by selecting the Waste Disposal building.
While the Waste Disposal will fill with all types of waste you can process it from diffrent waste disposal buildings so don’t feel pressured into fitting all the outputs into just one area.
All forms of waste are processed with the Recycling Plant.
Production rates are given in Produced per Game year
Output 1 | Output 2 | Waste | Resource | Factory |
60 Steel | 30 Aluminum | 180 Metal | ||
30 Polymer | 60 Plastic | |||
30 Compost | 5 Organic | 30 Nitrogen | 6 Ice Extractor |
Greenhouse – Keeping People Fed.
Greenhouse has the Sole purpose of making food for the big cities and the only current consumer of water. All inputs can be traced to Raw resources
Table shows everything to be Self Sustaining.
Production rates Given in Production per Game year:
Produced | Resource 1 | Source | Resource 2 | Factory |
60 Food | 120 Water | 4 Water Pump 24 Ice Extractor | 30 Compost | 1 Factory 1 Recycle Plant |
Required Compost:
Produced | Resource 1 | Factorys | Resource 2 | Factorys |
30 Compost | 60 Carbon | 5 Atmospheric Extractor | 30 Nitrogen | 6 Ice Extractors |
30 Compost | 150 Organic Waste | City Waste | 30 Nitrogen | 6 Ice Extractors |
Terraforming
This section is for things that make the planet a nicer place to live. Greenhouse gases and pretty green trees.
Product | Resource 1 | Factorys | Resource 2 | Factorys |
30 NF3 | 30 Nitrogen | 6 Ice Extractor | 30 Fluorite | 2 Excavator |
30 SF6 | 30 Sulfer | 2 Excavator | 30 Fluorite | 2 Excavator |
12 Pine Tree | 36 Carbon | 3 Atmospheric Extractor | 12 Water | 2.4 Ice Extractor 0.4 Water Pump |
12 Eucalyptus Tree | 36 Carbon | 3 Atmospheric Extractor | 12 Water | 2.4 Ice Extractor 0.4 Water Pump |

Finished
Remember all Info taken from the First Early Access version so subject to change.
It’s a shame i couldn’t fit all my gathered info into nice neat tables but my notes are not exactly user friendly
eg:-
12 pumping station – 2 reinforced concrete, 1 hightech parts – 24 reinforced concrete(0.8), 12 hightech parts(0.13) – 24 concrete(0.8), 24 steel(0.8),8 Alum(0.26) 4 polymer(0.13) – 72 sulfer 4.8 exv, 72 iron 4.8 exv, 16 alum ore 1.06 exv, 12 carbon 1 atmos
But if you think a total breakdown like this would be useful id certainly consider it.
