Your first pY science pack 1

1. Research the pack using Automation science

The pY science pack 1 technology requires 90 Automation science packs in the research snapshot, at 30 seconds per unit. Its immediate prerequisite is Latex. You do not need pY science pack 1 to unlock its own first production recipe.

Follow the science progression and the technology page for preceding research. Alternate recipes shown elsewhere may unlock later; use the recipe’s research tier when choosing a first-production route.

2. Build the Basic substrate chain

Basic substrate is the item named fawogae-substrate in the game data. This recipe makes 10 at once from moss, Incubated petri dishes and cellulose. The dish sequence is:

1. Make Empty petri dish from Molten glass at a Glassworks. The early recipe is available with Automation science.
2. Combine an empty dish with agar to make a loaded Petri dish.
3. Incubate the loaded dish at an Microorganism mine.
4. Combine the incubated dishes with moss and cellulose in an assembler for Basic substrate.

Empty Petri dishes also have a later Hot air alternative. That later unlock does not replace the earlier Molten glass route. If the production tree suggests an unavailable alternative, change the recipe to the early version.

3. Make Glassware at a Glassworks

Glassware is named flask internally. It needs Molten glass and Rubber stoppers; the recipe produces two Glassware per batch. Stoppers come from:

Keep the substrate and glassware outputs in separate buffers. They are consumed at a 6:1 item ratio for science packs, so balancing them only by matching the number of machines will not necessarily work.

4. Assemble the Research center and start production

The Research center construction recipe consumes an Microorganism mine and a Destructive distillation column. Prepare replacements if those are working machines you still need upstream.

15 base seconds · Research center MK 01

For 30 packs, supply 180 Basic substrate and 30 Glassware. For each individual pack, the direct inputs average 6 substrate and 1 Glassware. The listed 15 seconds is base recipe time; actual output rate depends on the building’s crafting speed and effects.

Move completed packs to labs together with the other science packs required by the technology you select. Making the item and researching with it are separate operations.

Common first-pack bottlenecks

• An assembler cannot select the science recipe: use a Research center, not an ordinary assembler.
• You appear to need the pack before you can make it: check that you chose the early recipe rather than a later alternative.
• Substrate has stopped: follow the incubated-dish chain and check agar, moss and cellulose.
• Glassware has stopped: check both Molten glass and Rubber stoppers.
• A building vanished from the ingredients: construction consumes its listed machine ingredients. Plan separate upstream machines.
