AWESOME Sink

 Encased Industrial Beam can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 528 points.

Trivia

• 43 Encased Industrial Beams are used in Drop Pods.

Tips

• It is encouraged to automate this item with Alternate: Encased Industrial Pipe once available, as it consumes fewer Steel Ingots.
• Comparison between original recipes and alternate recipes for crafting 1 Encased Industrial Beam:

-	Iron Ore	Coal	Limestone	Water
Original recipes	16	16	15	-
Alternate recipes	3.77	7.0	7.5	8.4
Usage (%)	23.6	43.8	50	N/A

Using alternate recipes, there is a trade-off between resource efficiency vs. Space and Power usage.

• This requires Pure Iron Ingot, Solid Steel Ingot, Wet Concrete and Encased Industrial Pipe.

History

• Patch 1.0
  • Changed AWESOME Sink value from 632 to 528
  • Default recipe
    • Changed Steel Beam cost from 4 to 3
    • Changed Concrete cost from 5 to 6
  • Encased Industrial Pipe
    • Changed Steel Pipe cost from 7 to 6
• Patch 0.1: Changed from Reinforced Steel Plate to Encased Industrial Beam, changed recipe (previously made with Screws instead of Concrete). Its previous icon is now used for the Heat Sink.
