 * 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.
 * Silica produced as by-product is not included in the analysis; instead, it can be used to supplement primary production, or can be sunk as a brute force solution.
