Silica

Silica is an intermediate item used for a variety of products. It is produced from, as a byproduct of production or gathered in small amounts from cutting down coral.

Resource acquisition
Small amounts of Silica can be gathered by cutting down coral with the Chainsaw.

Alternate recipes analysis
The following shows different ways to produce 1 Silica / 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.
 * Building space and building count are summed for all buildings, excluding belts, pipes, power poles, power lines and other logistic infrastructures. The lower the better.

- "A deal so Cheap, you Silican't refuse!"
 * Ran out of Silica and there is not enough Raw Quartz or Bauxite nearby? Consider giving Cheap Silica a try. It greatly increases output (by 1.4 times, in fact) at the cost of just some Limestone (and the need to use Assembers.)
