How to make a Circuit Board in Satisfactory

The circuit board in Satisfactory is an important item that players need to craft to create complex machinery and computers. Unlike the early stage when the equipment you build using recipes mostly requires solid materials, mid and late-game items such as circuit boards demand the use of liquid-based materials like crude oil. While this is something players should get used it, it can be quite confusing and overwhelming for newcomers.

That is where this guide will come in handy as it highlights the process of unlocking and crafting circuit boards to make your Satisfactory journey a little easier.

You won't encounter circuit boards at the start of satisfactory since you can only unlock them after reaching the "Oil Processing" milestone. Achieving this milestone requires players to spend x500 Copper Sheet, x50 Motors, x100 Encased Industrial Beams, and x500 Steel Pipes.

While these items satisfy the cost of unlocking the milestone, players also need to access tier 5 to unlock the board. This is done by building the space elevator's construction dock and finishing the project assembly phase 2. Building the dock will require players to spend x1000 Versatile Framework, x100 Automated Wiring, and x1000 Smart Plating.
