Electromagnetic plant

Critical for electromagnetic research and processes.
Overview
The Electromagnetic plant is a late-game crafting machine introduced in the Fulgora progression line. It is researched with Electromagnetic plant research and is crafted on Fulgora using Holmium plate, Processing unit, Refined concrete, and Steel plate. Once unlocked, it serves as a specialized assembler for electromagnetic-era production and is one of the few machines that can craft several recipes unavailable to ordinary assembling machines.
Its main advantage is that it provides 50% productivity for recipes that it can craft. This makes it especially valuable for expensive, high-tier products where extra output significantly reduces material consumption. It is also the only machine that can craft several exclusive recipes, including Lightning collector, Superconductor, Electrolyte, Supercapacitor, Electromagnetic science pack, Tesla gun, Tesla ammo, and Tesla turret. Quantum processor is also listed among the recipes associated with this machine family, though it is crafted on Aquilo's space platform rather than on Fulgora.
Because the Electromagnetic plant can also run many recipes that ordinary assembling machines can make, it is not limited only to exclusive items. Those shared recipes include small, medium, and big electric poles, substations, solar panels, accumulators, beacons, copper cable, electronic circuit, advanced circuit, processing unit, and discharge defense. In these cases, the machine's productivity bonus makes it a strong upgrade over standard assemblers whenever the recipe is eligible.
Practical uses for the Electromagnetic plant include:
- Mass-producing electromagnetic science pack for research progression.
- Crafting Superconductors and Supercapacitors, both of which are core ingredients in higher-tier Fulgora production.
- Producing Tesla weapons and defensive structures, which depend on the electromagnetic production chain.
- Making Lightning collectors and Lightning rods for Fulgora-specific power infrastructure.
- Running common recipes such as circuits, beacons, or accumulators with a productivity advantage when layout and throughput justify the higher-tier machine.
Because the machine is tied to Fulgora and requires advanced materials to build, it is typically deployed after basic logistics and processing chains are already established. Its role is less about early expansion and more about efficient conversion of rare materials into high-value components.
