Alternate recipes analysis

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Aluminum Casing / second, or 60 /min:

Recipe	Bauxite /min (WP)	Crude Oil m3/min (WP)	Copper Ore /min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy /item (MJ)	Space (m2)	Building counts
Default	90 (92.03)	9 (7.69)	-	99.72	92.00	572	5.65
Alclad	80 (81.8)	8 (6.84)	16 (5.54)	94.18	123.10	731	5.73

• Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate which is calculated by: (resource consumption rate / maximum extraction rate) * 10,000. The lower the better.
• Energy per item can be used to measure how much power is consumed for the entire production chain. The lower the better.
• Space refers to building space, excluding belts and pipes. The lower the better.
• Among multiple ways to produce each of the ingredient, the recipe with the lowest WP is chosen. See also:
