• 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:

AWESOME Sink

 Circuit Board can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 696 points.

History

• Patch 0.3: More alternate recipes added.
• Patch 0.1.14: Crafting cost of the Circuit Boards are halved. However other recipes require twice the amount of Circuit Boards to craft. Its stack size is also doubled.
