Wire

Wire is the most basic product from Copper, alongside Copper Sheets. It is commonly used in power infrastructure.

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Wire / second, or 60 / min:</br>
Recipe 	Iron Ore</br>/min (WP)	Copper Ore</br>/min (WP)	Caterium Ore</br>/min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy</br>/item (MJ)	Space</br>(m)	Building</br>counts
Default 	- 	12</br>() 	- 	 	 	 	
Fused 	- 	3.2</br>() 	4</br>() 	 	 	 	
Iron 	</br>() 	- 	- 	 	 	 	
Caterium	- 	- 	15</br>() 	 	 	 	
* 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. See also:

** Caterium Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
** Iron Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
* If you have some Caterium Ingots to spare, Fused Wire can help you get more of that much needed Wire. Its also more compact and uses less power than a row of Constructors making Wire. If you need those Caterium Ingots elsewhere, consider a different recipe. -"Nearly 4 times more Wire for JUST some extra Caterium? Boy, sign me right up!"
*Should you need Wire but have no Copper Ingots available, Iron Wire can be used as a low-cost substitute. It produces Wire slower than the normal recipe, so you will need to build more Constructors. -"Perfect for Ironing out all those kinked Wire factories"
*Got no Copper AND no Iron nearby? Then Caterium Wire might be useful to you. It's really efficient at producing a lot of wire very fast, for a very small Caterium cost. -"Caterium Wire's the name, speed's my game!"
