Personal roboport — Factorio Production Calculator
Personal roboport is crafted in the assembling machine in 10 seconds, producing 1 per craft from 10 × Advanced circuit, 40 × Iron gear wheel, 20 × Steel plate, 45 × Battery. At 60 per minute you need 20 assembling machines, and the chain behind it draws on 5 raw resources: water, petroleum gas, iron ore, copper ore, coal.

| Advanced circuit | 600 | 120 | Assembling machine |
| Personal roboport | 60 | 20 | Assembling machine |
Raw materials
| Resource | Per minute |
|---|---|
| Water | 189,000 |
| Petroleum gas | 93,000 |
| Iron ore | 15,780 |
| Copper ore | 5,700 |
| Coal | 600 |
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.
Personal roboport recipe
| Machine | Crafting time | Output | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assembling machine | 10 s | 1 | Advanced circuit × 10, Iron gear wheel × 40, Steel plate × 20, Battery × 45 |
What the whole chain needs
60 personal roboports per minute pulls in 11 intermediate products, and the whole tree comes to 1,969 machines across 3 machine types, fed by 5 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 189,000 per minute, which is 210 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.

FAQ
How many assembling machines do I need for 60 personal roboports per minute?
20 assembling machines. One at standard speed produces 3 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 personal roboport take?
At 60/min the chain consumes 189,000 water per minute, 93,000 petroleum gas per minute, 15,780 iron ore per minute and 2 more. Those numbers are the theoretical minimum — mining productivity research and productivity modules both reduce them.
Is personal roboport needed for science packs?
Not directly. It feeds Personal roboport MK2, and those in turn feed the science packs. Open the science pack page to see the demand that lands on this recipe.
