Common Recipe Questions

Why is my output lower than the recipe base?Effective output scales from 50% of the base at Skill 0 to 100% at Skill 100, so Skill 60 stays below the base recipe output.Does Factory Worker skill change output?Yes. The assigned worker’s Factory Worker skill sets the 50%–100% output range.Does employee satisfaction change recipe output?No. Recipe output uses Factory Worker skill only; satisfaction does not add another multiplier here.Why doesn’t this item have a factory recipe?Not every item is factory-manufacturable. Some are imported, sold, or used through another game system.

How Factory Recipes Work in Big Ambitions

A factory recipe connects ingredients to one finished product. Each current recipe lists its raw materials, its machine chain, the compatible workstation group and how much one batch produces.

Factory Worker skill changes effective output. Production rises from half of the recipe output at Skill 0 to the full output at Skill 100. The calculation uses the worker’s Factory Worker skill and does not add employee satisfaction as another multiplier.

Production machines are part of the recipe. Every recipe runs through a machine chain that ends at its workstation assembly machine, so check the required machines before building a production line.

The workstation determines which recipes can run. Food, consumer goods, bottled goods, clothing, garden, electronics and jewelry production use different machine families. Use the explorer above to inspect every supported recipe without scanning a single oversized table.
