- 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:

Trivia[]
- 43 Encased Industrial Beams are used in Drop Pods.
Tips[]
- It is encouraged to automate this item with Alternate: Encased Industrial Pipe once available, as it consumes fewer Steel Ingots.
- Comparison between original recipes and alternate recipes for crafting 1 Encased Industrial Beam:
- | Iron Ore | Coal | Limestone | Water |
---|---|---|---|---|
Original recipes | 16 | 16 | 15 | - |
Alternate recipes | 3.77 | 7.0 | 7.5 | 8.4 |
Usage (%) | 23.6 | 43.8 | 50 | N/A |
Using alternate recipes, there is a trade-off between resource efficiency vs. Space and Power usage.
- This requires Pure Iron Ingot, Solid Steel Ingot, Wet Concrete and Encased Industrial Pipe.

History[]
- Patch 0.1: Changed from Reinforced Steel Plate to Encased Industrial Beam, changed recipe (previously made with Screws instead of Concrete). Its previous icon is now used for the Heat Sink.
