When hovering over an item recipe, you may see a clock symbol and a number. This is the amount of time in seconds needed to craft an item in game seconds. Assembling machines have a multiplier that determines their crafting speed. Modules may also affect crafting time, either speeding it up or slowing it down for some other benefit.
Time in Factorio may also refer to:
- game time: measured in Game-ticks or Game-seconds. This is very important.
- game speed factor: the factor that is used to multiply real time to achieve game time.
Real time and game time is normally equal, so the factor is normally 1. It can be changed using the console and setting Lua/Game#speed.
This is also influenced by the speed of your CPU. If your computer us too slow, the game time automatically decreases to the needed amount, which results in stuttering gameplay.
