Offshore pump — Factorio Production Calculator
Offshore pump is crafted in the assembling machine in 0.5 seconds, producing 1 per craft from 3 × Pipe, 2 × Iron gear wheel. At 60 per minute you need 1 assembling machine, and the chain behind it draws on 1 raw resources: iron ore.
Production chain for 60 Offshore pump / minute
| Item | Per minute | Machines | Machine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron plate | 420 | 22.4 | Furnace |
| Pipe | 180 | 3 | Assembling machine |
| Iron gear wheel | 120 | 2 | Assembling machine |
| Offshore pump | 60 | 1 | Assembling machine |
Raw materials
| Resource | Per minute |
|---|---|
| Iron ore | 420 |
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.
Offshore pump recipe
| Machine | Crafting time | Output | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assembling machine | 0.5 s | 1 | Pipe × 3, Iron gear wheel × 2 |
What the whole chain needs
60 offshore pumps per minute pulls in 3 intermediate products, and the whole tree comes to 28 machines across 2 machine types, fed by 1 raw resource. 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 420 per minute, which is 0.47 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 offshore pump
No base-game recipe consumes offshore pump — 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 offshore pump is made from
- Pipe — 3 per craft
- Iron gear wheel — 2 per craft
FAQ
How many assembling machines do I need for 60 offshore pumps per minute?
1 assembling machine. One at standard speed produces 60 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 offshore pump take?
At 60/min the chain consumes 420 iron ore per minute. Those numbers are the theoretical minimum — mining productivity research and productivity modules both reduce them.
Machine counts assume bare machines at standard speed. Recipe data comes from the game's own prototypes (PlayerCalc, Factorio 2.0 base game). Not affiliated with Wube Software.
