Personal roboport MK2 — Factorio Production Calculator
Personal roboport MK2 is crafted in the assembling machine in 20 seconds, producing 1 per craft from 5 × Personal roboport, 100 × Processing unit, 20 × Low density structure. At 60 per minute you need 40 assembling machines, and the chain behind it draws on 5 raw resources: water, petroleum gas, copper ore, iron ore, coal.

Raw materials
| Resource | Per minute |
|---|---|
| Water | 1,050,000 |
| Petroleum gas | 810,000 |
| Copper ore | 292,500 |
| Iron ore | 235,500 |
| Coal | 18,000 |
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.

| Machine | Crafting time | Output | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assembling machine | 20 s | 1 | Personal roboport × 5, Processing unit × 100, Low density structure × 20 |
What the whole chain needs
60 personal roboport mk2s per minute pulls in 14 intermediate products, and the whole tree comes to 44,640 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 1,050,000 per minute, which is 1,166.67 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 personal roboport mk2
No base-game recipe consumes personal roboport mk2 — 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 personal roboport mk2 is made from
- Personal roboport — 5 per craft
- Processing unit — 100 per craft
- Low density structure — 20 per craft
FAQ
How many assembling machines do I need for 60 personal roboport mk2s per minute?
40 assembling machines. One at standard speed produces 1.5 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 mk2 take?
At 60/min the chain consumes 1,050,000 water per minute, 810,000 petroleum gas per minute, 292,500 copper ore per minute and 2 more. Those numbers are the theoretical minimum — mining productivity research and productivity modules both reduce them.
