To build the minimum viable ship, you need: — 2750 steel — 1075 plasteel — 420 uranium — 95 advanced components — 35 components — 105 gold — 1 AI persona core

You can craft advanced components from 1 regular component, 20 steel, 10 plasteel, and 3 gold.

You can craft regular components from 12 steel, but you need a Component assembly bench for it. You also need a Fabrication bench for crafting advanced components.

So, assuming the worst case, where you have to craft & dig everything yourself, you need:

— 2750 + 95×20 + 95×12 + 35×12 = 6210 steel — 1075 + 950 = 2025 plasteel — 420 uranium — 105 + 95×3 = 390 gold — 1 AI persona core.

Or if you can procure components without having to craft them:

— 2750 + 95×20 = 4650 steel — 1075 + 950 = 2025 plasteel — 420 uranium — 95+35 = 130 components — 105 + 95×3 = 390 gold — 1 AI persona core.

Specifically: — Reactor: 500 steel, 400 plasteel, 100 uranium, 20 advanced components — Engine: 400×3 steel, 200×3 plasteel, 100×3 uranium, 15×3 advanced components — Structural beam: 400 steel, 75 plasteel, 10 components — Core: 250 steel, 100 gold, 10 advanced components, 1 AI core — Sensors: 200 steel, 5 gold, 15 components, 15 advanced components — Casket: 200 steel, 20 uranium, 10 components, 5 advanced components
