If you have started your Hard Drive hunt to research new Alternate Recipes but don’t know which ones are good and should be unlocked first, you have come to the right place. Our Satisfactory Alternate Recipes tier list will come in handy.
Satisfactory’s open world is filled with crash sites from where players can recover Hard Drives and research them using the MAM to get a list of Alternate Recipes for items and resources that players must choose wisely if they want to make their factory and production more efficient.
With that said, here’s our Satisfactory Alternate Recipes tier list, ranking all the recipes under different tiers and helping you decide which ones you should get first.
Satisfactory Alternate Recipes tier list
Our tier list ranks the Alternate Recipes based on several factors, including power use, the number of machines and buildings you must construct, resources required, and other factors, mainly the time and effort needed in production.
Satisfactory Alternate Recipes rankings explained
- S-tier: When saving power, resources, and space, these Alternate Recipes are the best. Moreover, they are less complex, making them even better than the others.
- A-tier: The recipes in the tier are also as good as S-tier ones but slightly fall short in raw numbers when it comes to factors like saving power, resources, etc.
- B-tier: The B-tier recipes are great but do not offer optimal results.
- C-tier: The recipes in this tier list are good and helpful in many scenarios, but they do not offer power savings, require many structures, and so on.
- D-tier: The recipes in this tier list are inefficient as they produce little result compared to their consumption.
- E-tier: Avoid getting the recipes in this tier list.
