How the Foundry Calculator Works

Plan your Origin System farming sessions efficiently with full recursive blueprint decomposition for weapons, Warframes, Archwings, and Necramechs.

Recursive Blueprint Decomposition

Every complex recipe is automatically resolved down to base elemental components: sub-assemblies (Chassis, Neuroptics, Systems), pre-requisite weapons (e.g. Aklex requiring two crafted Lex), and linkages.

Resource, Credit & Time Aggregation

The calculator consolidates total Credit requirements and rare materials (Argon Crystals, Tellurium, Nitain Extract, Oxium, Cryotic, Forma) while estimating cumulative Foundry craft times (parallel vs sequential).

Origin System Farming Optimization

Pinpoint top planetary farming nodes and mission types (Survival, Defense, Void Fissures, Clan Dojo research, or Syndicate offerings) to optimize loot routes with resource boosters and farming frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key tips on weapon crafting ingredients, Argon Crystal decay, and Clan Dojo vs Void Relic blueprints.

How does the calculator handle weapons used as crafting ingredients?
Weapons acting as crafting ingredients (such as Tipedo for Lesion or two Lex pistols for Aklex) are expanded in the hierarchy with their individual crafting costs. Make sure to craft fresh copies so you never sacrifice a catalyzed or forma'd weapon!
How should I plan for decaying Argon Crystals?
Argon Crystals are radioactive and undergo daily decay: each unspent crystal decays by half daily at 00:00 UTC. We strongly recommend farming Argon in the Void as your final preparatory step right before kicking off Foundry builds.
Where are Prime blueprints obtained compared to Clan Dojo research?
Prime parts are exclusively unlocked by cracking Void Relics during Fissure missions. In contrast, Tenno, Chem, Energy, and Bio lab gear are purchased directly as blueprints from your Clan Dojo research terminals.
