Crafting
''Note: The default recipe's crafting duration is 3 seconds and takes half as many resources per cycle, but the same amount per minute. Due to technical reasons, the recipe is displayed differently than in-game.''

Alternate recipes analysis
The following shows different ways to produce 1 Battery / second, or 60 / min:
 * Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate which is calculated by: . 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:
 * Alumina Solution - Sloppy Alumina
 * Aluminum Casing
 * Aluminum Ingot
 * Copper Ingot
 * Plastic
 * Wire
 * The Resin byproduct generated from Aluminum can be fed into Plastic production, saving some of the Crude Oil, energy and space.
