Alternate recipes analysis

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Rotor / second, or 60 / min:

Recipe	Iron Ore /min (WP)	Copper /min (WP)	Coal /min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy /item (MJ)	Space (m2)	Building counts
Default	363.46 (51.64)	-	-	51.64	836.39	8327	75.39
Copper	140 (19.89)	48 (16.63)	-	36.52	612.30	4971	38.67
Steel	172.31 (48.48)	-	120 (38.83)	87.31	532.51	4815	41.92

• 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. The exception is mentioned below:
  • Iron Rod#Alternate recipes analysis - Default
  • Screw#Alternate recipes analysis - Cast Screw
  • Copper Sheet#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Steel Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
  • Wire#Alternate recipes analysis

Usage

Research

 Rotor is used in the Alien Organisms Research chain and Mycelia Research chain in the MAM for additional unlocks.

AWESOME Sink

 Rotor can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 140 points.

Tips

• 54 Rotors are used in Drop Pods.
• The Steel Rotor alternate recipe calls for the same ingredients as the default Stator recipe, which can greatly simplify a Motor production line.

Gallery

• 

  An early setup of RIP and Rotor using 1.25 Iron nodes without considering the item ratio.

• 

  A 100% Rotor production setup using only Belt Mk.1. To reach the full five Rotor/min, Belt Mk.2 is required between the Screws output and the Assembler.

• 

  A mid-scale Iron Production producing a variety of iron-related products.
