Alternate recipes analysis

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Quartz Crystal / second, or 60 / min:

Recipe	Raw Quartz /min (WP)	Total Energy /item (MJ)	Space (m2)	Building counts
Default	100 (95.24 )	27.39	226.13	2.82
Pure	77.14 (73.47 )	54.33	377.73	1.62

• 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.

Usage
