Circuit Board

Circuit Boards are the brains of automated systems in StarRupture, containing the complex electronic pathways that enable machines to function intelligently. These sophisticated components are required for virtually all automation, from simple conveyor splitters to advanced AI-controlled systems. As you progress toward full factory automation, circuit board demand skyrockets. Efficient circuit board production is often the bottleneck that limits base expansion, making them one of the most critical components to master.

Primary Method: Craft at Assembler using Copper Ingots, Silicon, and Plastic.

Detailed Methods:
