Train stop — Factorio Production Calculator
Train stop is crafted in the assembling machine in 0.5 seconds, producing 1 per craft from 5 × Electronic circuit, 6 × Iron plate, 6 × Iron stick, 3 × Steel plate. At 60 per minute you need 1 assembling machine, and the chain behind it draws on 2 raw resources: iron ore, copper ore.
Production chain for 60 Train stop / minute
| Item | Per minute | Machines | Machine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron plate | 1,740 | 92.8 | Furnace |
| Copper cable | 900 | 7.5 | Assembling machine |
| Copper plate | 450 | 24 | Furnace |
| Iron stick | 360 | 3 | Assembling machine |
| Electronic circuit | 300 | 5 | Assembling machine |
| Steel plate | 180 | 48 | Furnace |
| Train stop | 60 | 1 | Assembling machine |
Raw materials
| Resource | Per minute |
|---|---|
| Iron ore | 1,740 |
| Copper ore | 450 |
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.
Train stop recipe
| Machine | Crafting time | Output | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assembling machine | 0.5 s | 1 | Electronic circuit × 5, Iron plate × 6, Iron stick × 6, Steel plate × 3 |
What the whole chain needs
60 train stops per minute pulls in 6 intermediate products, and the whole tree comes to 181 machines across 2 machine types, fed by 2 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 1,740 per minute, which is 1.93 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 train stop
No base-game recipe consumes train stop — 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 train stop is made from
- Electronic circuit — 5 per craft
- Iron plate — 6 per craft
- Iron stick — 6 per craft
- Steel plate — 3 per craft
FAQ
How many assembling machines do I need for 60 train stops 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 train stop take?
At 60/min the chain consumes 1,740 iron ore per minute, 450 copper ore per minute. Those numbers are the theoretical minimum — mining productivity research and productivity modules both reduce them.
