Which machine comes first?

I would place a Packager before any press. It is listed at $100, holds 100 kg, and sends 1 kg capsules down one belt. A foundation is a separate optional $120 piece on that wiki page; official patch 1.0.5 permits building directly on dusty ground. Without a belt into a station intake, the capsules sit. The Pressure Chamber is the next dollar jump at $500 and 10 kW, turning 5 kg of dust into sand every 12 seconds, with sand valued at 3 times dust. The Stone Press is $1,000 and 18 kW, taking 1 kg dust plus 1 kg sand and emitting 2 kg of stone every 6 seconds, valued at 7 times dust. Those cycle times are one detailed wiki plus the chamber page that repeats the press relationship.

Power is the bill people forget. The same solar page prices a post at $75 for 3 kW with no battery, a twin at $150 for 7.5 kW and 4 kWh, and a tracker at $300 for 16 kW and 10 kWh. One chamber plus one post and one twin is the $225 power pair that page calls the cheap way to feed 10 kW. A Solar Array row is listed at $250 and 0 kW, so I do not count it as generation.

What the table is for

Sort the full list on the page by reading the price and kilowatt columns. Logistics pieces such as the splitter at $5 and the belt pieces at $40, $55, and $75 are cheap next to a $20,000 six-arm robot. Detail pages exist only where the search demand and the field count both justified a full write-up. Depot, hopper, merger, and the market contracts stay in this table.
