The 400 tons of "ship" are broken into 360 tons for the Parthenolab itself and 40 for the Parthenopinnance, which technically docks outside but is often moved about as if part of the main ship.
The smelter is rated to be able to feed both the agricultural and specialist manufacturing plants at once, if given sufficient ores of the right type - which, for the agricultural plant, is more ice and carbonaceous material (usually discarded as slag during mining) rather than the ores and crystals needed to make raw materials for the specialist plant. If feeding both plants, its total input of 0.7 tons per day must include sufficient amounts of both types. The agricultural plant can make food, water, and other life support needs to sustain 70 people at once: 60 clones, 5 crew, and 5 spare (to build up supplies at 5 person-days per day, in any situation dire enough to need this capability). Enough cybernetics to give the clones completely synthetic bodies is a fraction of the specialist plant's output (1 ton per 25 days; 1 ton for sale per month if also producing a modest amount of augmentation for the clones).
