In the game, resources refer to various forms of energy that can be converted into one another and used to power certain machines, as well as liquids in some cases (for example, [[Water]] or [[Gasoline]]). Each machine consumes only one specific resource, and its energy consumption is listed in its description and displayed in its interface. Most machines operate significantly slower or may stop working entirely if they do not receive enough energy. Energy converters, however, always work at full efficiency regardless of the energy supply level.

Resources are transmitted through different types of networks:

Electricity via [[Cable]]

Heat via [[Heat Pipe]]

Kinetic energy via [[Flywheel]]

[[Fluids|Liquids]] via [[Pipe]]

'''Productivity''' is an additional progress bar that fills up while crafting the main item.


Upon reaching 100%, you receive an extra copy of the crafted item, and the productivity bar resets to zero.


The percentage shown (e.g., 50%) indicates what fraction of the main crafting progress goes toward the productivity bar. Thus, 50% means an extra item every second crafting cycle.

Fluids

<translate>
== Fluids & Piping == 
</translate>
<translate>

Fluids are a distinct type of item that cannot be held in the player's inventory. They are transported using [[Pump|Pumps]] through a network of [[Pipe|Pipes]]. Liquids can only be placed into dedicated [[Container]] or into the fluid input slots of machines that require them for a recipe.
</translate>

<translate>

Different types of liquids cannot be mixed in the same container or pipe segment. Pipes carrying different liquids must not intersect. Connected pipes and containers of the same liquids form a shared network, whose status (content and fill level) can be checked by Right-Clicking on any pipe within it. Pipes of different tiers (e.g., copper and steel) will not connect to each other and can intersect without issue, even if they carry the same fluid.
</translate>

<translate>

All [[Resource|Resources]] behave similarly to liquids: they are transmitted through their own dedicated pipes (e.g. [[Heat Pipe]], [[Cable]]) and they can only be used by machines with the corresponding input port. But Resource lines can freely intersect with each other and with any fluid pipes without causing conflicts.

[[File:PlayerCraftQueue.jpg|thumb|Crafting queue]]

[[File:SelectCraft.jpg|thumb|Select crafter]]

[[File:AutoCraft.jpg|thumb|Autocrafter]]

<translate>

== Player Crafting ==
The player can craft any item available in their personal crafting menu. If some ingredients are missing, the player can recursively craft the required subcomponents, automatically pulling materials from their inventory.


Items queued for player crafting are added to the crafting queue and produced fairly quickly.


Keep in mind that not all player recipes are fully resource-efficient. This is especially true for circuit recipes. To save resources, it’s recommended to craft circuits separately using an [[Assembler]] instead of doing it manually.


To cancel a queued item, click on it in the crafting queue. When you hover over an item, a red outline indicates that clicking will cancel that order. Any unused resources will be refunded in the exact form they were consumed when the crafting order was placed.


== Crafting Machines ==
Crafting Machines are the core automation blocks that perform in-game recipes without player intervention. To function, a machine must:


1. Have a valid recipe set (either automatically or manually selected).


2. Receive the required input items or fluids.


3. Be supplied with the necessary [[Resource]] (e.g., Electrcity or Heat).


4. Have available space in its output slot for the resulting product.


If all conditions are met, the machine will operate continuously, processing the recipe until one of the requirements is no longer satisfied. There are two main types of machines, differing in how they determine which recipe to perform:

=== Machines with Manual Recipe Selection === 


These machines require you to manually select a recipe. After pressing the Recipe button, a recipe selection menu opens. Once a recipe is chosen, the machine configures its input and output slots accordingly. Each slot is filtered to only accept valid items for that specific recipe, preventing incorrect materials from being placed.

=== Machines with Automatic Crafting === 


These machines automatically detect and select the appropriate recipe based on the items provided. Each unique combination of input items corresponds to a single recipe. The input slots of these machines are also filtered, allowing only valid ingredients for recipes the machine can perform.


== Automation & Progression ==
The game is designed around progression through increasingly complex automation. As new technologies and recipes are unlocked, their time and resource costs grow, making manual crafting impractical.


The fundamental automation loop involves moving items between machines by [[Robot Arm|robot arms]] and [[Conveyor|conveyors]]. [[Loader|Loaders]] will allow higher-volume, direct insertion and extraction of items, creating more compact and efficient production lines.

Mining

2026-09-05T10:35:50Z

EvoBot: Send translated pages to the language subcategory instead of the flat one

== Overview ==

There are many resources that must be collected in the world of Evospace. This guide will list each resource, and where it can be found.

=== Yield ===
Yield is a percentage value. It indicates the maximum total mining rate of a resource deposit.

A Yield of 1000% means that 10 [[Drilling Rig]] can extract the resource at full speed.

A Yield of 50% means that one Drilling Rig can extract the resource at half of its maximum speed.

If the combined mining rate of all Drilling Rigs exceeds the Yield, the mining speed is limited to the Yield and evenly distributed among all active Drilling Rigs at same deposit.

=== Deposit size ===
The total amount of ore available before the deposit is depleted.

In versions 0.20.x, depletion does not destroy the deposit — instead, the extraction rate slows down to the minimum value.

At the minimum rate, the resource becomes infinite.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Cheats}}
The command line in the player log runs Lua in the game's script state. This page lists the lines that skip quests, move the player, produce items and control the weather.

== Command line ==

Two input slots open the same field. '''Console''' opens it in command mode, where the leading <code>/</code> is implied. '''Chat''' opens it as chat, and a line starting with <code>/</code> is still run as a command. Both slots are rebindable. Arrow keys recall previous lines.

{| class="wikitable"
! Command !! Effect
|-
| <code>/help [command]</code> || Lists the commands, or prints the usage of one
|-
| <code>/time</code> || Prints the day and the world clock, with <code>(frozen)</code> while the day phase is held
|-
| <code>/pos</code> || Prints the block cell the player stands in
|-
| <code>/lua <code></code> || Runs Lua. Everything below is run through it
|}

The line is compiled as <code>return <code></code> first, so an expression prints its value. A line that does not compile that way is run as a chunk, so statements and loops work. <code>print</code> writes to the console, the first 20 lines of it.

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua 2 + 2
/lua for i = 1, 3 do print(i) end
</syntaxhighlight>

== Quests ==

Complete every quest that is active:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua for _, q in ipairs(quests:get_active_quests()) do quests:complete_quest(q) end
</syntaxhighlight>

Single quests, chapters and objectives:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua quests:complete_quest(StaticQuest.get("FirstBlocks"))
/lua quests:unlock_quest(StaticQuest.get("DrillingRig"))
/lua quests:unlock_chapter(StaticChapter.get("OreToPower"))
/lua StaticQuest.get("FirstBlocks"):set_objective_complete_by_id("place_smelter", true)
/lua StaticQuest.get("FirstBlocks"):set_objective_progress(0, 10, 10, true)
</syntaxhighlight>

<code>quests:get_all_quests()</code> and <code>quests:get_all_chapters()</code> list every quest and chapter. <code>quests:is_quest_active(q)</code> and <code>quests:is_quest_completed(q)</code> test one.

A quest that waits for a gameplay event completes when the event is emitted:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua EventSystem.get():emmit(defines.events.on_player_crafted, { item = StaticItem.get("IronIngot"), count = 1 })
</syntaxhighlight>

== Teleport ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua dim:teleport(Vec3i.new(0, 0, 80))
/lua dim:teleport(dim:spawn_point())
/lua dim:teleport(Vec3i.new(4000, -1200, dim:sample_height(4000, -1200) + 3))
</syntaxhighlight>

<code>dim:teleport_pending()</code> is true while the target columns compile. <code>dim:streaming_ready()</code> is true when loading and meshing around the player are done.

== Blocks ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua dim:spawn_block_identity(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60), StaticBlock.get("Chest"))
/lua dim:set_cell(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60), StaticBlock.get("Air"))
/lua dim:clear_props(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60))
/lua dim:get_cell(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60)).name
</syntaxhighlight>

<code>dim:get_block(bpos)</code> returns the block placed in a cell, which the sections below use to reach a chest or a machine. Positions are <code>Vec3i.new(x, y, z)</code> in block cells. <code>cs.w2bp</code> and <code>cs.bp2w</code> convert between world units and cells.

== Items ==

Items are added to a container. Place a chest, read its cell with <code>/pos</code>, then fill it:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua StorageBlockLogic.cast(dim:get_block(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60))).storage_access:add(StaticItem.get("IronIngot"), 1000)
</syntaxhighlight>

<code>:sub(item, count)</code> removes them again. Machine inventories take items the same way:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua AbstractCrafter.cast(dim:get_block(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60))).crafter_input_container:get_access(0):add(StaticItem.get("IronOre"), 100)
</syntaxhighlight>

== Machines ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua AbstractCrafter.cast(dim:get_block(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60))).energy_input_inventory:add_resource(100000)
/lua AbstractCrafter.cast(dim:get_block(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60))).productivity = 500
/lua AbstractCrafter.cast(dim:get_block(Vec3i.new(10, 10, 60))).speed = 10
</syntaxhighlight>

<code>add_resource</code> fills an energy, heat or fluid slot directly. The '''Admin Electric Generator''' block produces unlimited power and can be placed like any other block.

== Recipes ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
/lua Recipe.get("SteelIngotRecipe").locked = false
/lua Recipe.get("SteelIngotRecipe").productivity = 100
</syntaxhighlight>

== Weather and time ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Line !! Effect
|-
| <code>weather.set("Rain")</code> || Transitions to a weather preset
|-
| <code>weather.snap("Rain")</code> || Switches to it at once
|-
| <code>weather.clear()</code> || Returns weather control to the biome
|-
| <code>weather.wind(20)</code> || Holds the wind speed, up to the planet maximum of 20 m/s
|-
| <code>weather.wind_clear()</code> || Releases the wind
|-
| <code>shot.time_of_day(13.5)</code> || Holds the sky at a solar hour, 0..24

EvoBot: Send translated pages to the language subcategory instead of the flat one

This article describes the main elements of the Evospace user interface and explains their basic functions.
For a step-by-step introduction to gameplay mechanics, see [[Quick Start Guide]] and [[Hotkeys]] articles.

__TOC__

== Map & World Generation ==

When starting a new game, you will first see the '''world generation screen'''.
Here you can configure the main parameters of your world before creating it.

=== World Generation Settings ===

On the right side of the screen, you can configure the world generation settings:

[[File:WorldGenerator_Settings.png|right|360px|thumb|World Generation Settings]]
'''World Name'''
Each world must have a unique name.
If a name is already in use, it will be highlighted in red and you will not be able to proceed.

'''Generator'''
Determines the overall appearance of the map.
The ''Concrete World'' generator differs significantly from other options: it contains no resources and no decorations.
This generator is intended only for use in Creative mode.

'''Mode'''
Defines the gameplay mode:
* '''Normal''' — standard gameplay experience.
* '''Creative''' — unlimited resources, flight enabled, and instant research completion.

'''Research'''
Controls research progression:
* '''Standard''' — gradual research progression.
* '''All Completed''' — all research unlocked at the start (recommended only for Creative mode).

'''Deposits'''
Defines how resource deposits behave:
* '''Depletable''' — extraction speed gradually decreases over time.
* '''Infinite''' — deposits never deplete.

'''World Seed'''
A combination of letters and numbers used to generate the world.
Worlds created with the same generator and seed will always have identical layouts.

=== Map Display Filters ===

At the bottom of the screen, you can find map display options.
These settings do not affect world generation and are used only as visual filters:

'''Fertility'''

Required for autofarms and especially important during the early stages of the game.

'''Oil Deposits'''

Oil becomes an important resource during the mid and late game.

'''Ore Deposits'''

Ores are the primary source of resources at all stages of the game.
Resource variety is important, as ore deposits are infinite.
Pay special attention to [[Chalcopyrite]] and [[Malachite Ore|Malachite]], as these ores contain copper required for early progression.

'''Display Settings'''

Allows enabling the display of:
* Ore names
* Ore composition
* Fertility percentage
* Oil deposit percentage

The percentage or '''Yield''' value on the map indicates the resource extraction efficiency. Each machine extracting the corresponding resource (such as an [[Automatic Farm]] or a [[Pumpjack]]) uses up to 100% of this value to operate at full capacity. For example, a fertility of 50% would mean that one Auto-Farm will operate at half its maximum speed, while a second Automatic Farm in that location will not work at all.

== Hotbar ==
[[File:Hotbar_interface.png|thumb|center|800px|Hotbar showing the Multitool and Basic Platforms at the start of the game]]

At the bottom center of the screen, you can see the '''hotbar''', which provides quick access to items.

The leftmost slot displays the item currently held in your hands.
If you are not holding anything, it will show '''Empty Hand'''.

The first numbered slot contains the '''[[Multitool]]'''.
This is your primary tool used to mine blocks, machines, terrain, and resources.

The second slot contains '''[[Basic Platform]]''', identical to the blocks your starting platform is made of.
At the beginning of the game, you receive '''999 Basic Platforms'''.

=== Using the Hotbar ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:60%;"
|-
| style="width:55%; vertical-align:top;" |
Try using the Multitool on nearby platform blocks:

# Select the Multitool by pressing '''1''' on your keyboard.
# Aim the crosshair at a nearby base block.
# Hold the '''Left Mouse Button''' to mine the block.

Next, try placing a Basic Platform back:

# Select Basic Platform by pressing '''2'''.
# Aim the block preview at the desired position.
# Press the '''Left Mouse Button''' to place the block.

To free your hands, select the currently held item again.
| style="width:45%; vertical-align:top; text-align:center;" |
[[File:StartGuide_multitool.gif|frameless|360px]]
|}

=== Interacting with Blocks ===

Using the '''Right Mouse Button''' while holding an empty hand opens the interface of a block or machine.

== Inventory ==

To open the inventory, press '''E'''.

The central panel displays your '''Inventory''', while the panel on the right is the '''Catalog'''.

The Inventory stores all collected resources, blocks, and any items you craft.
At the start of the game, your inventory contains logs, stones, and '''Basic Platforms'''.

At the top of the Catalog, you will find four buttons:
* '''Unlocked''' — shows only recipes you currently have access to.
* '''Favorites''' — displays recipes marked as favorites.
* '''All''' — shows all available recipes.
* '''Search''' — used together with the search field located to the right of the buttons.

=== Inventory and Hotbar Interaction ===

To assign an item to the hotbar, click and hold it in the Inventory using the '''Left Mouse Button''' and place it into any free hotbar slot.

To clear a hotbar slot, right-click the slot using the '''Right Mouse Button'''.

You can place blocks and machines without assigning them to the hotbar.

EvoBot: Send translated pages to the language subcategory instead of the flat one

This article covers the very first steps of progression, explaining how resource extraction and machines work, and how to build a small starter factory.
New players are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with the [[Interface]] and [[Hotkeys]] articles.

__TOC__

== Manual Resource Collection ==

This section explains how to manually gather the resources required for early progression.

=== Finding Your Way ===

During the early game, you will need to collect several resources manually.

To avoid getting lost, use the map by pressing '''M'''.
If you do lose your way, press '''Escape''' and select '''Teleport to Home'''.
This will instantly return you to the [[Spawner]] on your starting platform.

=== Collecting Copper Ore ===

First, collect at least '''50 units of copper ore'''.

Both [[Malachite Ore|Malachite]] and [[Chalcopyrite Ore|Chalcopyrite]] can be used, as they contain copper.
These resources can be found in several forms:
* Resource clusters, visible on the map and on the compass
* Surface deposits directly in the terrain

Malachite surface deposits are '''green''', while Chalcopyrite deposits are '''reddish-orange'''.

Both clusters and deposits can be mined using the [[Multitool]].
However ore clusters never deplete when mined manually, but surface deposits are depleted when you dig them up.

=== Collecting Fuel ===

Next, collect '''30 units of any fuel'''.

The best fuel options at the start of the game are:
* [[Logs]] — obtained by cutting down trees
* [[Coal Ore|Coal]] — mined from clusters or surface deposits, similar to ores

=== Returning to Base ===

After collecting the required resources, return to your base manually or by using '''Teleport to Home'''.

You are now ready to begin building your first machines.

== Smelting Copper ==

This section explains how to smelt copper and produce your first metal plates.

=== Preparing Stone ===

At the start of the game, you have access to 99 units of [[Stone Surface|stone]], which is sufficient for early progression.

If you need more stone, you can:
* Mine stone rocks scattered across the world
* Dig underground until you reach the stone layer

File:First_Steps_Stone2.png|There are also large stones.
File:First_Steps_Stone4.png|But there is still more stone underground.
</gallery>
Note that the [[Building Material]] recipe requires '''white stone'''.
Red or dark stone variants cannot be used for this recipe.

=== Crafting the Furnace and Smelter ===

Return to your base and open the Inventory by pressing '''E'''.
In the '''Catalog''', select the '''Unlocked''' tab.

In the '''Stone''' category, craft the following machines by clicking on them with the '''Left Mouse Button''':
* [[Stone Furnace]]
* [[Stone Smelter]]

Crafting progress is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.
By clicking on an item currently being crafted, you can cancel its production.

=== Placing the Furnace ===

[[File:First_Steps_PlacingFurnace.png|right|thumb|Working Furnace & Smelter]]
Select the '''Stone Furnace''' in your Inventory and close the Inventory.

You will see a placement preview of the furnace.
To rotate the preview, press '''R'''.

Choose a location on your platform and place the furnace using the '''Left Mouse Button'''.
If you are not satisfied with the placement, you can always remove the machine using the Multitool.

Notice the '''red circle''' on top of the furnace — this is its '''heat output'''.

=== Connecting the Smelter ===

Next, select the '''Stone Smelter''' in your Inventory and place it directly on top of the furnace.
This connects the heat output of the furnace to the heat input of the smelter.

The furnace will now supply heat, allowing the smelter to operate.

==== Machine Inputs and Outputs ====

''Tip:'' All machines have inputs and outputs.

* Inputs are usually displayed with a '''solid outline'''
* Outputs are usually displayed with a '''dashed outline'''

However, '''heat, kinetic, and electrical outputs''' are always shown with a solid outline.
The machine tooltip clearly indicates which resources the machine accepts and which it outputs.

=== Smelting Copper ===

Finally, open the '''Stone Smelter''' using the '''Right Mouse Button''' and place the mined '''copper ore''' inside it.
Place '''Fuel''' into the '''Stone Furnace'''.

If everything is set up correctly:
* The furnace will light up with a fire animation
* Molten metal will flow inside the smelter
* The smelter recipe progress bar will begin to fill

Once the progress bar is complete, you will receive the final product — a [[Copper Plate]].

== Researching New Machines ==

Before you can begin research, you must build and power a [[Computer]] so that it can start generating '''Computation'''.

=== Preparing for Research ===

Wait until at least '''23 Copper Plates''' have been smelted, then collect them.
After that, open the '''Catalog''' and craft the following machines:

# [[Stone Furnace]]
# [[Copper Stirling Engine]]
# [[Copper Compact Generator]]
# [[Copper Computer]]

=== Building the Research Setup ===

Now place the machines in sequence, matching their inputs and outputs by color.

# Place the '''Stone Furnace'''.
# Place the '''Copper Stirling Engine''' on top of the furnace.
# Attach the '''Copper Compact Generator''' to the Stirling Engine, connecting the '''yellow output''' to the '''yellow input'''.
# Finally, place the '''Copper Computer''', connecting the '''blue output''' to the '''blue input'''.

Insert '''Fuel''' into the furnace at the bottom of the structure.
Once powered, the computer will begin operating and generating Computation.
[[File:First_Steps_ResearchSetup.jpg|thumb|center|700px|Early-game research setup]]

=== Unlocking Research ===

Open the Research tree in one of the following ways:
* Click the '''Research''' button in the lower-left corner of the screen
* Press the '''J''' hotkey

Your primary goal is to research '''Automatic Mining'''.
However, this technology is locked behind other research nodes, so you must unlock them first.

Follow this order:
# Select '''Basic Machines''' and click '''Start Research''' in the upper-right corner of the screen.
# Add '''Automation''' to the research queue.
# Add '''Automatic Mining''' to the research queue.

Once all required research has been queued, all that remains is to wait for the research to complete.

Note: completed research are displayed in '''green'''. Queued research are '''blue'''. Unavailable research are '''red''', and '''orange''' indicates research that can be completed because their dependencies are queued.

A small blue "i" icon on a research item indicates that it is required to open the [[Portal]] - thus completing the game.

== Automatic Mining ==

After researching '''Automatic Mining''', you gain access to automated ore extraction.
From this point on, you no longer need to mine ores manually.

=== Preparing the Machines ===

To set up automatic mining, craft the following machines:
* [[Stone Furnace]]
* [[Stirling Engine]]
* [[Drilling Rig]]
* [[Stone Chest]]

=== Finding a Copper Cluster ===

Open the map by pressing '''M''' and locate the nearest copper ore cluster.
Both '''Malachite''' and '''Chalcopyrite''' are suitable.

Bring some '''Fuel''' with you (or gather it along the way) and travel to the cluster.

The Drilling Rig extracts the ore corresponding to the cluster it is placed near.
It has:
* Unlimited vertical range
* Limited horizontal range

=== Preparing the Platform ===

Once you reach the copper cluster, build a small platform slightly above it for convenience.

Create a '''6×6''' platform using '''Basic Platforms'''.
You can hold the block placement button to create lines or flat surfaces more easily.

Before placing the '''Drilling Rig''', make sure that the tooltip at the top of the screen shows '''copper ore'''.
If it shows '''stone''', the rig is placed too far from the cluster and will mine stone instead.

=== Connecting the Machines ===

The Drilling Rig has A kinetic energy input and an item output, shown as a dashed square.

Place a '''Stone Chest''' at the item output.

Connect a '''Stirling Engine''' to the kinetic energy input.
To power the Stirling Engine, you have two options:
* Dig out one block below the engine and place a '''Stone Furnace''' underneath
* Rotate the Stirling Engine horizontally using '''Shift + R''' and place the furnace next to it
* Or install a drill on a small 3x3 platform

File:First_Steps_DrillingRigHorizontal.png|Horizontal design
File:First_Steps_DrillingRigPlatform.jpg|Platform design
</gallery>

=== Starting Production ===

Insert '''Fuel''' into the furnace to start the setup.

After the drilling progress bar fills up, the Drilling Rig will output ore directly into the Stone Chest.
As long as the furnace has fuel, ore extraction will continue automatically.

== Next Steps (Homework) ==
At this point, you have a working basic factory and access to automation. Here are several directions you can take next to continue your progress:

* '''Automate fuel production'''
Coal is the most reliable option: you’ll only need one more Drilling Rig placed on a coal cluster, and it will be able to supply fuel both for itself and for other machines. Alternatively, if the nearby soil fertility allows it, you can build an [[Automatic Farm]] and supply it with water using an [[Atmospheric Condenser]].

* '''Automate copper ore processing'''
Use [[Conveyor|conveyors]] to deliver ore to Smelters; to place items onto them, use [[Robot Arm]].
With the same Robot Arms, unload the smelters onto another conveyor and place a Chest at the end.
Don’t forget to supply fuel to all furnaces!

* '''Improve ore smelting efficiency'''
Middle-click (MMB) on any copper ore and check its processing recipes.
Some of them allow you to produce more than one plate from a single unit of ore.

* '''Explore the machines you’ve already unlocked'''
Use MMB to inspect any machine (in the Catalogue, Research tree, inventory, or after placing it in the world).
Compare their input and output values, examine available recipes, and think about how you can use them right now.

* '''Set up your first Circuit production'''
This will be your first truly complex and multi-stage task, but it’s essential: research costs increase exponentially with your progress.
Insert the appropriate [[Circuit]] into Computers — this will dramatically increase their computation output.
