Alternate recipes analysis

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Caterium Ingot / second, or 60 / min:

Recipe	Caterium Ore /min (WP)	Total Energy /item (MJ)	Space (m2)	Building counts	Sink value input	Sink value output
Default	180 (163.04 )	41.46	237.91	4.26	1260	2520
Pure	120 (108.7 )	186.97	1404.61	6.17	840	2520

• 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.
• Building space and building count are summed for all buildings, excluding belts, pipes, power poles, power lines and other logistic infrastructures. The lower the better.

AWESOME Sink

 Caterium Ingot can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 42 points.

Tips

• For storage and transportation on belts, Caterium Ingot is preferred over its ore due to its 1:3 compression.
• In addition, (other than the Golden Factory Cart,) Caterium Ingots are only used to produce Wire and Quickwire, both of which are produced in high quantities and thus have high throughput requirements relative to their ingot components. Consider transporting Caterium ingots rather than ore or either type of wire, whenever possible.

History

• Patch 0.3: Increased the Quickwire product from four to five.
• Patch 0.1.5: Reduced ore cost from four to three.
