The electronic circuit (or "green circuit") is a basic intermediate product, widely used throughout the game. While following a simple recipe, the electronic circuit is the first in a line of circuit-type intermediate products.

Electronic circuits are used as an ingredient for many item recipes, including creation of all kinds of inserters, and most production items such as assemblers, solar panels and electric mining drills. Certain other logistic devices will also need electronic circuits to be created, such as rail signalling equipment. The logistic network is also incredibly dependent on products constructed with these circuits.

Many circuits need to be made in order to produce the upgraded variants of circuit such as the advanced circuits, and in bulk, processing units. Combined together, these circuits can also make modules.

Production of electronic circuits is fairly simple. As the copper cables follow a perfect ratio of 3:2, usually they are directly inserted into the assembler producing the green circuits.

The ratios of assembling machines to craft this item are:

Normal mode

• 3 Copper cable factories → 2 Electronic circuit factories

Expensive mode

• 5 Copper cable factories → 1 Electronic circuit factory
