- 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:

AWESOME Sink[]
Tips[]
- In the early game, there are Motors scattered around some Crash Sites which can be fed into the AWESOME Sink for some quick Coupons.
- It may be convenient to set up an entire vertically integrated factory making Motors from base elements. Using default recipes, one Motor takes 31.5 Iron Ore, 8 Copper Ore and 9 Coal. Creation from scratch involves two Smelter, one Foundry, four Constructor and three Assembler recipes.
Gallery[]
An example of designing a module involving verticality. A Motor requires Rotor and Stator, each component has its own floor and feeds its output via Conveyor Lifts.
The plan view of the above example.
History[]
- Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced Electric Motor alternate recipe
- Patch 0.3.3.3: Nerfed the Sink Points by half.
- Patch 0.3.2.0: Tweaked some resource meshes - Motor, Reinforced Iron Plate, Mycelia, Steel Pipe, Cable, all packaged liquids
