Step-by-Step Guide to Making Polymer Resin in Satisfactory

Polymer Resin is an essential resource in Satisfactory, one of the most valuable by-products you can harvest in the game. The main objective of Satisfactory revolves around constructing factories and improving production efficiency on an alien planet. With the high volume of manufacturing in your factories, Polymer Resin can be a strategically beneficial resource.

There are numerous applications for Polymer Resin in Satisfactory. In this article, we will explore how to utilize it effectively, as well as provide the recipes for crafting various related items.

Polymer Resin plays a pivotal role in creating essential items like Fabric, Plastic, and Rubber in Satisfactory. It is a by-product generated during oil and fuel production and becomes accessible only once you reach or exceed Tier 5. To manufacture Polymer Resin, you must have a refinery; ensure you have an adequate supply of Crude Oil to maintain consistent production.

To optimize your production efficiency, set up a direct pipeline from an Oil Extractor to your Refinery to ensure a steady stream of Crude Oil.

There are three main recipes to create Polymer Resin in the game:

Utilize X6 Crude Oil to produce X4 Fuel and X3 Polymer Resin
Use X3 Crude Oil to obtain X4 Heavy Oil and X2 Polymer Resin
Process X6 Crude Oil to generate X1 Polymer Resin

Once Polymer Resin is produced, transport it using a Conveyor Belt to avoid disrupting your production line. You can connect a Conveyor Belt from the Refinery’s output to a Storage Container for easy access to your Polymer Resin. Alternatively, you may redeem Polymer Resin for coupons by sending it to the ‘Anti-Waste Effort for Stress-Testing of Materials on Exoplanets’ (AWESOME) sink.

When you produce Fuel or Heavy Oil Residue, you’ll naturally acquire Polymer Resin, which can then be used to manufacture Plastic, Rubber, and Fabric. Besides Polymer Resin, the only additional ingredient required for these products is water, which is readily available throughout the game world. To create these items, follow the recipes below:
