Electric Motor

A motor.

Notes

The Electric Motor is a mid-to-late-game industrial component crafted from advanced materials, serving as an ingredient in high-tier machinery like the Laser, Froth Floatation Cell, and Robotic Assembly Line. Its production requires a significant industrial base, and it is consumed in the assembly of many of the most powerful machines in the game. Because the Electric Motor is a non-consumable "Parts" ingredient (as opposed to a fuel or resource that gets used up), stockpiling a few extras before starting work on a large project can prevent frustrating delays from having to craft more mid-build.
