Modify the recipe to ensure the resource type is highest in the equipment type you wish to target (Primary resource). Many recipes end with 1 in order to make a particular resource type primary in order to optimise its drop rate, when equipment requires identical base resource numbers - or to intentionally reduce the drop rate of unwanted alternatives. 
 * DOUBLE CHECK THE PRIMARY RESOURCE TYPE! For instance, while the minimum required resource for 46cm Triple Gun Mount is 10-240-250-10, using these numbers directly will result in essentially a ZERO DROP RATE as the primary resource in this mix is Fuel/Steel due to the 250 steel used. Therefore, in order to get it to drop, the cheapest recipe for the gun is 10-251-250-10. IF YOU SKIP THIS STEP, YOU RISK WASTING RESOURCES COMPLETELY!

'''Excuse me, but i'm a bit confused. is the 10-240-250-10 (fuel/ammo/steel/baux) the unmodified recipe? Primary resource: fuel/steel. By changing it to 10-251-250-10, doesn't that make ammo the primary resource?'''
