Polymer Resin is a crucial element used in the production of Fabric, Plastic, and Rubber in Satisfactory. It's a by-product of oil and fuel production. Unfortunately, it can only be accessed once you are at or over Tier 5. You'll need a refinery to produce Polymer Resin in the game. Additionally, make sure to have a good enough supply of Crude Oil ready to maintain your production rate.

To increase your efficiency, set up a pipeline from an Oil Extractor to the Refinery to ensure a consistent flow of Crude Oil.

There are three recipes to get Polymer Resin in the game:

  • Using X6 Crude Oil to get X4 Fuel and X3 Polymer Resin
  • Using X3 Crude Oil to get X4 Heavy Oil and X2 Polymer Resin
  • Using X6 Crude Oil to get to get X1 Polymer Resin

Once this is done, remove it via a Conveyor Belt, or it will disrupt your production line despite having a Refinery. You can connect a Conveyor Belt from the Refinery's output to a Storage Container to obtain your Polymer Resin. You can also enjoy coupons in exchange for the Polymer Resin if you send it to the 'Anti-Waste Effort for Stress-Testing of Materials on Exoplanets' (AWESOME) sink.
