Tips

• As of 1.0, depending on the recipes selected, you can range from 1 Bauxite to 0.75 Aluminum Ingot up to 1.333 Aluminum Ingot:
  • The worst producing recipe is Alumina Solution + Aluminum Scrap + Pure Aluminum Ingot at 0.75 Aluminum Ingots per Bauxite;
    • The pros of this group of recipes are the lean manufacturing, the resources needed at only 1 m3 Water and 0.5 Coal per Bauxite, and a relatively small energy footprint.
  • The best producing recipes are Instant Scrap OR Sloppy Alumina + Electrode Aluminum Scrap AND Aluminum Ingot at 1.33 Aluminum Ingots per Bauxite;
    • The cons of this group of recipes are the huge amount of machines, energy and additional resources needed. Instant Scrap needs 0.33 Sulfur and 0.66 Coal, Electrode Aluminum Scrap needs Crude Oil or Petroleum Coke and Aluminum Ingot needs Raw Quartz or Silica.
  • A balanced recipe would be Sloppy Alumina + Aluminum Scrap + Pure Aluminum Ingot at 0.9 Aluminum Ingots per Bauxite;
    • The pros of this selection are the small energy footprint, the small need of extra resources at 0.4 m3 of Water and 0.6 Coal per Bauxite, and the lean manufacturing.

History

• Patch 0.4.0.8:
  • Alternate: Pure Aluminum Ingot:
    • Changed recipe craft time from 20 to 2 seconds
    • Changed Aluminum Scrap cost from 18 to 2
    • Changed Aluminum Ingot product from 9 to 1
• Patch 0.4.0.0: Recipes have changed, significantly buffing the amount of Ingots made from Aluminum Scrap
• Patch 0.3: Aluminum processing was overhauled, now is smelted out of Aluminum Scrap instead of Bauxite
• Patch 0.1.14: Made available
