How we compute this

  • Costs are the research and replication costs of each row in the game's Workshop table, and currency names come from its currency table, both extracted from the Week 252 dedicated-server data (build 25621760).
  • Research is counted once per item and skipped for items you mark “Already researched”. Replication is multiplied by the quantity. Totals are kept per currency.
  • These are the base costs stored in the data. Anything the game applies on top at runtime is not in the data, so it is not included.
  • Researching everything once: 60,775 Ren29,035 Exotics9,660 Red Exotics1,760 Uranium Rod120 Legendary Biomass. One print of everything: 38,250 Ren11,070 Exotics4,845 Red Exotics625 Uranium Rod80 Legendary Biomass.
  • First Cohort Envirosuit has no research or replication cost in the data and adds nothing to totals.
  • The data updates every game patch; your loadout link keeps working as long as the items keep their names.

FAQ

How much does it cost to research every Orbital Workshop item?

Researching all 320 workshop items once costs 60,775 Ren, 29,035 Exotics, 9,660 Red Exotics, 1,760 Uranium Rod and 120 Legendary Biomass in the Week 252 data. Printing one of each adds 38,250 Ren, 11,070 Exotics, 4,845 Red Exotics, 625 Uranium Rod and 80 Legendary Biomass.

What is the difference between research and replication cost?

Research is the one-time cost to unlock an item in the Orbital Workshop; replication is the cost of each print. The calculator counts research once per item (or not at all when you tick “Already researched”) and multiplies replication by the quantity you pick.

Which workshop items cost the most Exotics to research?

9 items share the highest Exotics research cost, 1,000, among them Inaris "Dias" Axe, Inaris "Gris" Spear and Inaris "Neves" Pickaxe. Sort the “All workshop items” table by “Research: Exotics” for the full list.

Where do Ren and Exotics come from?

Ren: 13 recipes in the data produce it, at Predator Control Specialist Liardet, Cultivation Specialist Henrickson and Chief Fisheries Officer Dunski. Exotics: 3 recipes in the data produce it, at Organic Residue Cleanser and Biofuel Bio-Cleaner.

Can any Orbital Workshop items be made in-game?

3 of 320 have an in-game recipe in the data: Go (10 Ren at Food Shop), MicroMeal (10 Ren at Food Shop) and Oxygel (10 Ren at Food Shop). For the others the data has no in-game recipe that produces them.
