Valve

Overview
Valve is a crafting material used in multiple mechanical and industrial recipes. It is produced in the Mega Press and can be exported to corporations for value and rewards.
Valve is manufactured by the Mega Press using a short production cycle. The Mega Press recipe requires 1 Titanium Housing, 3 Titanium Beam, 2 Titanium Rod, and 1 Nozzle and takes 10 seconds to complete; the result is 1 Valve. The Valve appears as a component ingredient in higher-tier assemblies, including Pressure Tank and Pump recipes.
Valve is unlockable at the Recipe Station under the Mega Press category. Unlocking the Valve recipe requires 1 Valve Blueprint, 200 Nozzle, 400 Titanium Housing, 300 Titanium Rod, and 1,000 Data Points.
Valve can be exported. Exporting to Griffits Blue Corporation yields a value of 150 at corporation level 9 and grants a Defense Tower as a reward.
Crafting and production:
- Produced in: Mega Press.
- Recipe to produce 1 Valve: 1 Titanium Housing, 3 Titanium Beam, 2 Titanium Rod, 1 Nozzle.
- Production time: 10 seconds.
- Unlock requirements at Recipe Station (Mega Press category): 1 Valve Blueprint, 200 Nozzle, 400 Titanium Housing, 300 Titanium Rod, 1,000 Data Points.
Uses:
- Pressure Tank (Assembler): requires 2 Valve, 5 Heat Resistant Sheet, 3 Titanium Housing, 3 Pump; produces 1 Pressure Tank in 12 seconds.
- Pump (Mega Press): requires 1 Valve, 1 Turbine, 1 Impeller, 3 Sulphuric Acid; produces 1 Pump in 10 seconds.
Export:
- Griffits Blue Corporation (level 9): Value 150; Rewards: Defense Tower.
Valve functions as a mid-level component bridging basic titanium parts and larger mechanical assemblies. Prioritize unlocking its recipe when planning production chains that require Pressure Tanks or Pumps, and consider exporting surplus Valve to Griffits Blue Corporation for a steady return and occasional corporation rewards.
