How this Lead recipe works
- One operation yields 2 Leads, depending on the selected variant. Batch totals below always round up to a whole operation.
- Crafting Table is the required workstation; a player inventory grid is only sufficient when the displayed pattern fits and the game accepts that station type.
- Lead Recipe has 2 current variants. Choose by edition, available input and station instead of assuming that every displayed option works in the same game.
