YieldWorks Planner

Refinery

1. Select a run or choose Add Run. Pick an output and a compatible station.
2. Edit any amount under Ingredients to auto-fill the other quantities. The queue uses those amounts and the Number Of Refineries. Each queue step holds up to 999 batches per refinery.
3. Use −25% Crafting Decree to adjust costs. Set Crafting Specialization in the header or on the Specialization page. Use Live Water limits queues to the tracked water balance and allocates it in run order.
4. Open All Runs Overview for combined totals and each run’s ingredients, output, and queue. Raw materials under an ingredient show what it takes to make that ingredient separately. Use Save Plan in Refinery Presets to save every run’s output, station, refinery count, and ingredient amounts, plus the crafting decree. Load Plan replaces the current runs with the saved ones.

Gathering

Choose an Output Item and enter a Target Amount as the number of finished items you want. YieldWorks rounds up to whole batches and shows the raw materials and water needed. Choose I Have under Plan By to start from a material you already have. When you choose Water, your supply covers the output recipe and all the steps needed to make its ingredients. Choose your stations under Refinery Settings to calculate the material costs for those tiers. If a tier lacks a recipe, the planner names the compatible station it uses. Use −25% Crafting Decree to adjust quantities.

Materials To Collect in the sidebar updates as you type. Pick a tool in Estimate Harvest to see your recorded ranges with and without Gathering perks. Choose an area and enter your result in the Record In-Game Harvest form on the card.
