AWESOME Sink

 Motor can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 1 520 points.

Trivia

• 85 Motors are used in Drop Pods.

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, 9 Copper Ore and 8 Coal. Creation from scratch involves 2 Smelter, 1 Foundry, 4 Constructor and 3 Assembler recipes.
