Recipe for Alumna Solution
The default recipe for alumina solution should never be used, even with default Aluminum Ingot, Sloppy is all round winner : With default 60 bauxite produce 60 Alumina Solution (+25 Silica) > 100 Electrode - Aluminum Scrap > 20 Aluminum ingot (using Silica byproduct) + 35 Pure Aluminum Ingot = 55 Aluminum Ingot With sloppy 60 bauxite produce 72 Alumina Solution > 120 Electrode - Aluminum Scrap > 60 Pure Aluminum Ingot Ctim1989 (talk) 18:48, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You are half correct. Users going for default recipes are probably not going for pure ingots anyway. And there is little to no use to mix use pure and default ingots together, you either go with silica route, or with sloppy-pure method.Kwjcool321 (talk) 04:41, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

In fact, the problem is not here. The default path is only valid if you want to "convert" some aluminum into Silica (and there is no reason to do that IMO). If you use Silica byproduct to produce defaut ingot, then the overall yield is the worst. If you produce Silica (cheap of course) for default ingot, then use it with sloppy, your yield will be better anyway. BTW in my last production plan, mix pure/default was the best choice, because Quartz was to short for full default, but it greatly depends on path chosen for advanced production, so maybe full default could be better... But i have doubt on that, aluminium ingot gain is to small compared with quartz consumption for full default.Ctim1989 (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
