Hi all. I have just built a production line for destroyer capsules. When I turned the line on, I noticed that the final assembler for the destroyer capsules was not producing.

On investigation I had built my production line to create destroyer capsules that require 4 distractor capsules and 1 speed module. This is what is listed on the wiki and the kirk factorio calculator.

However in the game itself the recipe the assembler is asking for is 4 distractor capsules, 4 steel plate and 1 processing unit.

I assume I am making an error and there is some kind of simple misunderstanding on my behalf, but I can't figure out what it is. I tried to find something in the changelog clear things up with no luck. Can anyone explain why the recipe I am seeing on the wiki vs in the game disagree?

Thanks.

The recipe is different with Space Age or without, like many other recipes. You should always check the in-game recipe, that is authoritative no matter what.

This, and I advise you to utilize the in-game Factoriopedia (Alt + Left click on an entity/item/recipe)
It provides you with a whole lot of essential knowledge such as recipe, base craft time, etc., on certain new items and recipes.
