• 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. The exception is mentioned below:
  • Alumina Solution#Alternate recipes analysis - Sloppy Alumina
  • Aluminum Casing#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Aluminum Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Copper Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Plastic#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Wire#Alternate recipes analysis
• The Resin byproduct generated from Aluminum can be fed into Plastic production, saving some of the Crude Oil, energy and space.
