- 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.
- As Uranium Waste is a by-product of power generation, it is assigned with 0 energy.
- 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. Exception is mentioned below:
- Although the Instant Plutonium Cell recipe use more raw resources, it is necessary to max out Uranium-Plutonium production, as it costs less Nuclear Waste per Cell.
- If the purpose to produce Plutonium Fuel Rod is to get rid of Uranium Waste, then it is advised to choose the default recipe.
