Satisfactoryisa game about efficiency, where you’re hard at work building up your automated factory from the ground up. As you navigate the beautiful alien landscape with nothing but your wits and a quirky AI companion called ADA, you’ll have to harvest materials, build your main hub, set up your factories, and produce resources in an ever-increasing manner.
Polymer Resin is a mid-game resource in the game that you’ll find once you reach the Oil Processing milestone in Tier 5. This guide will help you learn all you need to know about how to get Polymer Resin and what to do with it inSatisfactory.
How to Get Polymer Resin in Satisfactory
InSatisfactory, Polymer Resin is obtained as a byproduct from the Refinery while producing specific recipes. You’ll need a Refinery to get it and a steady supply of Crude Oil to keep up production. You can set up a pipeline from an Oil Extractor leading into the Refinery to ensure a consistent flow of Crude Oil.
you’re able to’t usePortable Miners to extractCrude Oil from Oil nodes in the game.
Once you have your Refinery set up correctly, there are three recipes that you can use to get Polymer Resin:
x4 Fuel
Alternate: Polymer Resin
x6 Crude Oil
Since Polymer Resin is a solid byproduct, you’ll have to remove it viaa Conveyor Belt. Otherwise, it will start backing up and interrupting your production chain even when you’ve got the Refinery hooked up to a Fluid Buffer for storage.
Players can connect a Conveyor Belt from the Refinery’s output to a Storage Container to collect all the Polymer Resin they produce. Alternatively, you may also send it to AWESOM sink to get coupons.
If you’ve got the Alternate Recipe: Polymer Resin unlocked, it gets easier to ensure a good yield. However, since the production ratio for it is pretty poor from both Fuel production and Alternate Recipe: Heavy Oil Residue, you won’t get much value out of it.
Where to Use Polymer Resin in Satisfactory
Whether you’re producing Fuel or Heavy Oil Residue, you’ll eventually end up with a good quantity of Polymer Resin. If your Refinery is connected to an AWESOME Sink, you’ll passively generate FICSIT Coupons. But Polymer Resin also has other uses.
x1 Water
x1 Fabric
x2 Water
x2 Plastic
x4 Water
x2 Rubber
With only Water as the secondary resource, Polymer Resin can produce Fabric, Plastic, and Rubber, making it a useful byproduct of Fuel processing. Since Water is easy to find in allstarting areas in Satisfactory, and the production ratio is decent, diverting Polymer Resin to an alternate Refinery to produce these resources is the best thing you can do with it.
You’ll still want to connect it to an AWESOME Sink to prevent backing up.
Polymer Resin is essential in Fabric, Plastic, and Rubber production. Now that you know the steps, you should have no trouble setting up your oil processing plant to give you a good yield of Polymer Resin inSatisfactory.
