Alternate recipes analysis

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

Recipe	Iron Ore /min (WP)	Copper /min (WP)	Coal /min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy /item (MJ)	Space (m2)	Building counts
Default	363.46 (51.64)	-	-	51.64	836.39	8327	75.39
Copper	140 (19.89)	48 (16.63)	-	36.52	612.30	4971	38.67
Steel	172.31 (24.48)	-	120 (38.83)	63.31	532.51	4815	41.92

• 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:
  • Iron Rod#Alternate recipes analysis - Default
  • Screw#Alternate recipes analysis - Cast Screw
  • Copper Sheet#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Steel Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis

AWESOME Sink

 Rotor can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 140 points.

Tips

• 54 Rotors are used in Drop Pods.
• The Steel Rotor alternate recipe calls for the same ingredients as the default Stator recipe, which can greatly simplify a Motor production line.

Gallery

• 

  An early setup of RIP and Rotor using 1.25 Iron nodes without considering the item ratio.

• 

  A 100% Rotor production setup using only Belt Mk.1. To reach the full five Rotor/min, Belt Mk.2 is required between the Screws output and the Assembler.

• 

  A mid-scale Iron Production producing a variety of iron-related products.
