- 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.
- 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.
- Among multiple ways to produce each of the ingredient, the recipe with the lowest WP is chosen. See also:

Tips[]
- Copper Sheets can be produced very efficiently using the Pure Copper Ingot and Steamed Copper Sheet alt recipes; 2.5 sheets per ore compared to 0.5 for the default recipes, just by adding water.
