Spreadsheet
Concerning your spreadsheet: Very smart use of alternate recipes, but I disagree on 2: Do not use quickwire on stator. Caterium is hard to come by and is frequently used everywhere. You can effectively replace it with iron wire (alternate). This is slower and less efficient, but uses iron. Same goes for the beacon. By using iron wire, beacons can be exclusively made from iron too. More annoying to setup, but you save on quartz, which is also rare.
 * I agree your points. The spreadsheet is shared by community and its recipes are non-customizable. You can set your own preferred recipe combos by using other online calculators. See Online tools Kwjcool321 (talk) 01:57, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Crafting Recipes table
I noticed on the component wiki pages (e.g., Supercomputer): the tables in their Crafting sections don't include a Nuclear Power Plant row. I assume that is because this page has no "crafting_recipes" values defined. I would add it myself, but can't figure out how! Feel free to delete this from Talk when fixed. --Estufe (talk) 19:04, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've noticed this before when Turbofuel recipes vanished some time back (that was fixed by patching the template). I still can't figure out what is causing the recipe data for the NPP to not be stored. --Ondar111 (talk) 23:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This was a different issue than the Turbofuel. The page hasn't been edited since November, so it was probably cached before some Cargo changes. tl:dr; I fixed it with a null edit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ --Mr Pie 5 (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Quick note about the math on this page
Looking at the data presented, I'm thinking someone divided instead of multiplied. Usage rate as stated for Pu rods is 0.1/min and uranium rods is 0.2/min. For fixed output power and the same stack size, plutonium rods would be twice the energy capacity of uranium rods, not half because they last twice as long for the same output power. Leaving a quick note due to lack of time to go dig through things to verify and see where else it may have been repeated. Not at T8 yet so can't verify in-game, either.

 * Oh, you are right, the value is just updated Patch 0.4.0.8 so some of the numbers are not updated yet. Thanks for pointing that out! Kwjcool321 (talk) 07:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
