Compare the crafting routes
Select a product and quantity in Crafting, then choose a strategy before examining the plan. Balanced uses the normal selection. Save resources favours material economy; Fastest compares processing work and available parallelism.
Inspect the plan
For iron ingots, compare the direct furnace route with the ore-processing routes your installed mods and machines provide. Keep the same requested quantity and inspect the raw inputs, outputs and machines in each plan. Nebula cannot choose an enrichment process unless that process is available on this network.
What the plan can tell you
An absent intermediate does not necessarily block the request: Nebula can plan how to make it from available resources. The search has a finite budget, so compare the displayed plans rather than assuming a strategy always finds the global best route. Resources are checked again when the job starts.
