  • Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate which is calculated by: (resource consumption rate / maximum extraction rate) * 10,000. 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. See also:
  • The maximum conversion rate from Bauxite to Ingot can be achieved with Sloppy Alumina > Electrode - Aluminum Scrap > Default Ingot, but this greatly increase usage of Silica (and therefore Raw Quartz). Instant Scrap could also be used to reach the maximum, but requires valuable Sulfur.

 Aluminum Ingot can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 131 points.

History[]

  • Patch 0.4.0.8:
    • Alternate: Pure Aluminum Ingot:
      • Changed recipe craft time from 20 to 2 seconds
      • Changed Aluminum Scrap cost from 18 to 2
      • Changed Aluminum Ingot product from 9 to 1
  • Patch 0.4.0.0: Recipes have changed, significantly buffing the amount of Ingots made from Aluminum Scrap
  • Patch 0.3: Aluminum processing was overhauled, now is smelted out of Aluminum Scrap instead of Bauxite
  • Patch 0.2.1: Introduced
