- 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:
Usage
Research
Heavy Modular Frame is used for research in the Caterium Research chain, Sulfur Research chain and Quartz Research chain in the MAM.

Tips
- The alternate recipe is much more resource-effective.
- Comparison of Raw Ore Usage between original recipe and Alternate Recipes for crafting one Heavy Modular Frame:
Ore | Original Cost | Alternative Cost | Savings |
---|---|---|---|
Iron Ore | 247.5 | 47.8 | 80.6% |
Limestone | 75 | 36 | 52.0% |
Coal | 102.5 | 35.3 | 65.5% |
- This requires the pioneer to unlock Alternate Recipes: Bolted Frame, Casted Screw, Encased Industrial Pipes, Heavy Encased Frame, Iron Wire, Pure Iron Ingots, Solid Steel Ingot, Stitched Iron Plates, and Wet Concrete.
- Additional 57.3m3 of water is required in this setup.
