Iron Rod

Iron Rod is one of the first two resources available to craft after The HUB is built, the other being Iron Plate. Iron Rods are one of the basic building materials used for many structures.

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Iron Rod / second, or 60 / min:
Recipe 	Iron Ore/min (WP)	Coal/min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy/item (MJ)	Space(m)	Buildingcounts
Default	() 	- 	 	 	 	
Steel 	() 	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.
* 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.
* Among multiple ways to produce each of the ingredient, the recipe with the lowest WP is chosen. Exceptions are:
** Iron Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
** Steel Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis - Solid Steel Ingot
