• 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

 Supercomputer can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 99 576 points.

Trivia

• There is a Supercomputer below the terminals in the HUB and the Space Elevator.
• The mesh size of the computer present in the Supercomputer mesh is slightly larger than the model of the Computer alone.

History

• Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced two alternate recipes
• Patch 0.3.4.11: Supercomputer research naming is now consistent with the part naming
