Alternate recipes analysis

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Copper Sheet / second, or 60 / min:

Recipe	Copper Ore /min (WP)	Total Energy /item (MJ)	Space (m2)	Building counts
Default	48 (16.63 )	134.63	1230.85	9.55
Steamed	24 (8.32 )	145.32	1103.76	4.94

• 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.
• Among multiple ways to produce each of the ingredient, the recipe with the lowest WP is chosen. See also:

AWESOME Sink

 Copper Sheet can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 24 points.

Tips

• Copper Sheets can be produced very efficiently using the Pure Copper Ingot and Steamed Copper Sheet alt recipes; 2.5 sheets per ore compared to 0.5 for the default recipes, just by adding water.
