• 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

 Motor can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 1 520 points.

Tips

• In the early game, there are Motors scattered around some Crash Sites which can be fed into the AWESOME Sink for some quick Coupons.
• It may be convenient to set up an entire vertically integrated factory making Motors from base elements. Using default recipes, one Motor takes 31.5 Iron Ore, 8 Copper Ore and 9 Coal. Creation from scratch involves two Smelter, one Foundry, four Constructor and three Assembler recipes.

History

• Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced Electric Motor alternate recipe
• Patch 0.3.3.3: Nerfed the Sink Points by half.
• Patch 0.3.2.0: Tweaked some resource meshes - Motor, Reinforced Iron Plate, Mycelia, Steel Pipe, Cable, all packaged liquids
