- 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:

Trivia[]
- There is a Supercomputer below the terminals in the HUB[1] and the Space Elevator.[2]
- The mesh size of the computer present in the Supercomputer mesh is slightly larger than the model of the Computer alone.
History[]
- Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced two alternate recipes
- Patch 0.3.4.11: Supercomputer research naming is now consistent with the part naming
