Erbauer – All Material Flows and Costs

If you like the game and want to discover its hidden surprises, then kindly avoid reading this guide, as it reveals important information. I created this guide to assist me in organizing the game’s pathways and connections. I was unsure about which components were required in specific places and how they were assembled.

This guide is divided into several sections, each of which highlights the primary „builders,“ what they build, and the materials they use. There is a possibility that this guide contains mistakes or incorrect instructions. If you notice any issues, Bitte hinterlassen Sie gerne einen Kommentar.

Basic Guide Layout

Each of the sections below shows:

Legende

At the start of each part, you’ll find a picture that tells you which machine it’s talking about and the other machines connected to it. When you see something made by the machine, it looks a little 3D, so you can tell it apart from the other machines.

Every machine in this guide has its own color. If you come across something that looks kind of purple, it means it was made in the Furnace.

• Extraktoren: No picture or special color.
• Ofen: Kind of purple.
• Schmiede: A bit reddish.
• Werkstatt: Sort of salmon color.
• Machine Shop: Cyan (like a bright blue-green).
• Industrial Factory: Grün.
• Manufacturer: Gelb.

Flow Diagram

I did my best to make the drawings simple to understand and look kind of nice (mindestens, I hope so).

On each page, you’ll only see each part one time. If a part is needed by more than one machine, you’ll see lines going from that part to each machine. Zum Beispiel, the Machine Shop needs Copper Wire, and it also sends it to electro-magnets, logic circuits, and gyroscopes.

The colors in the boxes show where the parts are made (look at the key at the top of each page). Zum Beispiel, Copper Wire always looks salmon-ish, and it’s made in the Workshop.

Extraktoren

Extractors are like machines that collect or dig up the things you find on the map.

There are two kinds of extractors. One is for most of the main materials, and the other is a special one just for Uranium.

Ofen

The Furnace is like a special machine in the game that turns raw stuff into parts you use to make other things. You have to unlock all the stuff it can make as you play the game.

It works like this: you put in one thing, and it makes one thing out of it. Here’s a list of the things it can make:

• Kupferbarren
• Enriched Uranium
• Glas
• Eisenbarren
• Silizium
• Wolframerz

Auf dem Bild, the numbers tell you how many of the first thing you need to make one of the second thing.

Zum Beispiel, Du brauchst 1 Iron Ore to make 1 Eisenbarren. The colors in the picture show where you get the first thing from (there’s a legend at the top to explain the colors).

Schmiede

The Forge is another special machine in the game. It turns simple stuff into slightly fancier stuff you use to build things.

So funktioniert es: you put in two things, and it makes one thing out of them. Here’s a list of the things it can make:

• Beton
• Graphit
• Stahl
• Wolframkarbid

Auf dem Bild, the numbers show how many of the first things you need to make one of the second things.

Zum Beispiel, Du brauchst 10 Tungsten Ore and 1 Graphite to make Tungsten Carbide. The colors in the picture tell you where you get the first things from (there’s a legend at the top to help you with the colors).

Werkstatt

The Workshop is where you make a lot of the things you need in the early and middle parts of the game. You have to unlock all these items to use them.

So funktioniert es: you put in one thing, and it makes one thing out of it. Here’s a list of the things it can make:

1. Carbon Fiber
2. Condenser Lens
3. Copper Wire
4. Coupler
5. Kühlkörper
6. Eisenausrüstung
7. Iron Plating
8. Particle Glue
9. Sand
10. Steel Rod
11. Wood Frame
12. Holzbrett

Auf dem Bild, the numbers show how many of the first things you need to make one of the second things. Zum Beispiel, Du brauchst 1 wood log to make 1 wood plank, Und 4 wood planks to make 1 wood frame.

The colors in the picture tell you where you get the first things from (there’s a legend at the top to help you with the colors).

Machine Shop

The Machine Shop is where you make special parts that are needed in the later parts of the game. You have to unlock all these items to use them.

So funktioniert es: you put in two things, and it makes one thing out of them. Here’s a list of the things it can make:

• Batterie
• Electro-Magnet
• Empty Fuel Cell
• Energy Cube
• Gyroskop
• Logic Circuit
• Metal Frame
• Nano-Wire
• Quantenverschränker
• Rotor

Auf dem Bild, the numbers show how many of the first things you need to make one of the second things. Zum Beispiel, Du brauchst 12 copper wires and 2 rotors to make Gyroscopes.

The colors in the picture tell you where you get the first things from (there’s a legend at the top to help you with the colors).

Industrial Factory

The Industrial Factory is where you make really fancy parts needed in the later game. You have to unlock all these items to use them.

So funktioniert es: you put in three things, and it makes one thing out of them. Here’s a list of the things it can make:

1. Computer
2. Electric Motor
3. Industrial Frame
4. Nuclear Fuel Cell
5. Stabiliser
6. Tank

Auf dem Bild, the numbers show how many of the first things you need to make one of the second things. Zum Beispiel, Du brauchst 3 heat sinks, 3 logic circuits, Und 1 metal frame to make Computers.

The colors in the picture tell you where you get the first things from (there’s a legend at the top to help you with the colors).

Manufacturer

The Manufacturer is where you make the fanciest parts in the game. You have to unlock all these items to use them.

So funktioniert es: you put in four things, and it makes one thing out of them. Here’s a list of the things it can make:

1. Atomic Locator
2. Electron Microscope
3. Magnetic Field Generator
4. Matter Compressor
5. Matter Duplicator
6. Super Computer
7. Turbo Charger

Auf dem Bild, the numbers show how many of the first things you need to make one of the second things. Zum Beispiel, Du brauchst 8 heat sinks, 2 Computer, 1 turbo charger, Und 8 couplers to make Super Computers.

The colors in the picture tell you where you get the first things from (there’s a legend at the top to help you with the colors).

Spreadsheet Summary

I have a Google spreadsheet that shows the costs of different items, similar to the approach used in my other guides. To make it easier to read, I’ve combined them in this section.

Here’s how you can read it:

• Find the item you want to create in the second column.
• The first column shows the machine you need to craft that item.
• Read across to see how many of what component is needed. Above the component is the machine that creates it.

Zum Beispiel, if you want to make a Gyroscope, which is created in the Machine Shop, Du wirst brauchen:

• 12 copper wire (from a workshop) Und
• 2 rotors (from a machine shop).
