Production Chains (Version from Feb 20, 2026, 02:26 PM)

Overview

There are 21 production chains for manufacturing drugs in DDS2. Many drugs have multiple production paths — shorter chains using pre-bought ingredients, or longer chains that start from raw extraction. Longer chains are cheaper but require more equipment and steps.

Equipment Tip: Each step lists multiple equipment options from cheapest to best. You only need one piece of equipment per step — higher-tier equipment processes faster or in larger batches.
