- 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:

History
- 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.
