Aluminum Ingot

Aluminum Ingots are smelted from Aluminum Scrap and are used to make Alclad Aluminum Sheets and Aluminum Casings.

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Aluminum Ingot / second, or 60 /min:
Recipe 	Bauxite/min (WP)	Crude Oil (WP)	Raw Quartz/min (WP)	Limestone/min (WP)	Coal/min (WP)	Net WP	Total Energy/item (MJ)	Space(m)	Buildingcounts
Default +Electrode	54(55.22) 	4.5(3.85) 	22.5(21.43) 	37.5(7.09) 	- 	87.58 	108.89 	600 	4.05
Default +Instant 	45(46.01) 	- 	32.14(30.61) 	53.57(10.14) 	30(9.71) 	118.40	124.77 	665 	4.46
Pure +Sloppy 	60(61.35) 	6(5.13) 	- 	- 	- 	66.48 	58.67 	380 	3.10
* 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:
** Aluminum Scrap#Alternate recipes analysis
* The maximum conversion rate from Bauxite to Ingot can be achieved with Sloppy Alumina > Electrode - Aluminum Scrap > Default Ingot, but this greatly increase usage of Silica (and therefore Raw Quartz). Instant Scrap could also be used to reach the maximum, but requires valuable Sulfur.

== History ==
* Patch 0.4.0.8:
** Alternate: Pure Aluminum Ingot:
*** Changed recipe craft time from 20 to 2 seconds
*** Changed Aluminum Scrap cost from 18 to 2
*** Changed Aluminum Ingot product from 9 to 1
* Patch 0.4.0.0: Recipes have changed, significantly buffing the amount of Ingots made from Aluminum Scrap
* Patch 0.3: Aluminum processing was overhauled, now is smelted out of Aluminum Scrap instead of Bauxite
* Patch 0.2.1: Introduced
