In The Modeler you will find all the recipes that are in the game in addition to some specialty machines.
Outposts are a visual separation to help you organize your factory. They behave somewhat like a folder on a computer, you can open one up and go inside it. You can nest any number of outposts inside other outposts.
Outposts can also have inputs and outputs to connect what is inside to what is outside. They can be created by dropping connections onto them from the outside, or by using the plus button inside, or dropping connections onto the plus button.
Blueprints are like outposts, but the things inside can be duplicated when calculating. Be sure to always add a limit to the inside of a blueprint so it can define what a single copy is. The calculated value of that blueprint is how many copies of it you will need to build.
This can be used to represent a splitter or a merger. In the Modeler, all connection points act as splitters or mergers by default for convenience, so there is often no need for a Splurger, however there are times you may need one or want want for aesthetics. A Splurger’s input connection point can act as a merger and its output can act as a splitter.
This can be used to represent a Smart Splitter, Programmable Splitter, Priority Merger, or even properly set up pipes. It comes with two inputs and two outputs. The top is the top priority and will always take from or put to it first. The bottom is bottom priority and will only be used if the top does not supply or accept everything.
Note that the priority aspect of this is only used in the Full calculator.
This comes in three flavors for aesthetics:
Just like the awesome sink in game. Because the number of items per minute it can consume depends on belt speed, you can set the belt speed for it to be able to calculate when not in parts per minute mode.
This can do more than represent a storage container in the game, you can also use them to represent more abstract concepts.
The storage container comes in several different modes for calculation (Note these modes mostly only matter when using the full calculator):
Simply represents a Dimensional Depot in the game. It can be set to different consumption rates when calculating when it is not in parts per minute mode.
You can find the Space Elevator Phases with the list of all recipes, these represent the resources need to complete each space elevator phase.
