  • 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.

Tips[]

  • For storage and transportation on belts, Caterium Ingot is preferred over its ore due to its 1:3 compression.
  • In addition, (other than the Golden Factory Cart,) Caterium Ingots are only used to produce Wire and Quickwire, both of which are produced in high quantities and thus have high throughput requirements relative to their ingot components. Consider transporting Caterium ingots rather than ore or either type of wire, whenever possible.
