Artillery turret — Factorio Production Calculator
Artillery turret is crafted in the assembling machine in 40 seconds, producing 1 per craft from 60 × Steel plate, 60 × Concrete, 40 × Iron gear wheel, 20 × Advanced circuit. At 60 per minute you need 80 assembling machines, and the chain behind it draws on 6 raw resources: water, iron ore, petroleum gas, copper ore, stone, coal.

Raw materials
| Resource | Per minute |
|---|---|
| Water | 36,000 |
| Iron ore | 25,560 |
| Petroleum gas | 24,000 |
| Copper ore | 6,000 |
| Stone | 3,600 |
| Coal | 1,200 |
Machine counts are not rounded up. Add a little headroom in game — belt throughput and inserter speed usually mean you want 5-10% more than the exact number.
Artillery turret recipe
| Machine | Crafting time | Output | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assembling machine | 40 s | 1 | Steel plate × 60, Concrete × 60, Iron gear wheel × 40, Advanced circuit × 20 |
What the whole chain needs
60 artillery turrets per minute pulls in 10 intermediate products, and the whole tree comes to 3,360 machines across 3 machine types, fed by 6 raw resources. The table above already sums demand across every branch — if copper cable is used by two recipes, you see the total, not one of them.
Belt check: the busiest input here moves 36,000 per minute, which is 40 of a yellow belt's 900 per minute. Above 1.0 and you need a second belt (or a faster tier) before the machines themselves become the limit.
What uses artillery turret
No base-game recipe consumes artillery turret — it is an end product. Once you build it, the chain stops here, which makes it a good target if you only want to size the sub-factory that feeds your mall.
What artillery turret is made from
- Steel plate — 60 per craft
- Concrete — 60 per craft
- Iron gear wheel — 40 per craft
- Advanced circuit — 20 per craft
FAQ
How many assembling machines do I need for 60 artillery turrets per minute?
80 assembling machines. One at standard speed produces 0.8 per minute, so 60 ÷ that number is the count. The calculator above rounds nothing — add 5-10% headroom for belt and inserter losses in a real factory.
How much raw ore does artillery turret take?
At 60/min the chain consumes 36,000 water per minute, 25,560 iron ore per minute, 24,000 petroleum gas per minute and 3 more. Those numbers are the theoretical minimum — mining productivity research and productivity modules both reduce them.
