Turbo Motor

Turbo Motor is a late-game component used for building the Miner Mk.3.

Resource optimization
As a complex late-game product, a Turbo Motor raw resource input can vary based on the selection of crafting recipes. Below is a comparison of raw resource consumption of original recipe versus Alternate Recipes for crafting one Turbo Motor: Notes:

Where multiple alternate recipes are available for intermediate items, the recipes chosen are:
 * Casted Screw, Caterium Computer, Copper Rotor, Heavy Oil Residue, Iron Wire, Recycled Plastic, Recycled Rubber, Silicone Circuit Board, Solid Steel Ingot.

Original Recipes remain in use for:
 * Aluminum Ingot, Cable, Motor & Stator

Trivia

 * The current production limit of Turbo Motors is exactly 156/min. The bottleneck is Bauxite production, which is capped at 7800/min.
 * It is inadvisable to aim for this goal as Aluminum has other uses, such as Mk.5 conveyors.
 * Aside from coupons, only 1890 Turbo Motors are usable, for all 378 Mk.3 Miners. In the experimental build, an additional 2000 are usable in the creation of Thermal Propulsion Rockets for the final phase of the Space Elevator.
