How to Craft Circuit Board in Satisfactory

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours delving into the intricate world of Satisfactory, I can attest that this game is a masterpiece of complexity and depth. It’s not just about building factories; it’s about managing resources, optimizing production lines, and navigating the labyrinthine web of interconnected systems.


At the outset of a pioneer’s adventure within the game Satisfactory, many of the items required for crafting and enhancement are solid in their composition. These materials are handled, processed, and combined using similar types of structures. Nevertheless, as you progress and unlock more features, liquids also come into play, making the production process more diverse.

This adds another layer of intricacy as now, rather than relying on conveyor belts, you need to handle pipelines, fluid tanks, and address pressure variations to establish a streamlined delivery setup. It may not appear so at first, but circuit boards actually demand both liquid and solid resources for their construction.

In the game, the Circuit Board is an item that becomes accessible midway through play. It’s hidden behind the Oil Processing Milestone in Tier 5. To reach this milestone and unlock the Circuit Board, players require a total of 50 Motor parts, 100 Encased Industrial Beams, 500 Steel Pipes, and 500 Copper Sheets.

To unlock both Tier 5 and Tier 6, players must successfully advance to phase 2 of the project assembly and build a space elevator’s construction dock. This task demands 1000 units of Smart Plating, 1000 units of Versatile Framework, and 100 units of Automated Wiring.

Oil and Raw Copper. Oil is utilized to produce plastic, while Raw Copper is used to manufacture copper sheets. Here’s an example of a starting setup:

  • Find a resource point for Crude Oil and use an Oil Extractor to start pumping it out. Connect it to a Refinery and set the Refinery’s output to Plastic.

As a gamer, here’s how I might explain it in my own words: “To minimize waste, I can configure one of my Refineries to produce Fuel and Polymer Resin. Then, link the Polymer Resin output from that Refinery to another one. To this second Refinery, I’ll add an additional water input and set its output to Plastic. This way, I can manufacture plastics without any waste byproduct like Heavy Oil Residue.

  • Find a Raw Copper resource node, and use a Mining Rig to extract the ore. Connect the rig to a smelter to convert the copper into copper ingots.

To make the process more efficient, consider using a conveyor divider to distribute the raw copper to several smelting facilities, and a pipe connector to distribute the oil extraction output to various refineries.

  • Feed the copper ingots being produced into a Constructor, and set its output to Copper Sheet. Scale this up as much as you can afford to in order to get the optimum results when making circuit boards.
  • Finally, connect the output of Plastic from the refinery and the output of Copper Sheet from the Constructor into an Assembler. Connect its output to a storage container if needed, or connect it wherever it is needed in your production facility.
