The following shows different ways to produce 1 Modular Frame / second, or 60 / min:</br>
Recipe 	Iron Ore</br>/min (WP)	Coal</br>/min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy</br>/item (MJ)	Space</br>(m)	Building</br>counts

* 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:
** Reinforced Iron Plate#Alternate recipes analysis - Stitched Iron Plate
** Iron Rod#Alternate recipes analysis
** Steel Ingot#Alternate recipes analysis
** Screw#Alternate recipes analysis

* The in-game appearance of the Modular Frame is based on a real life modular construction material called 80/20 (eighty twenty) aluminum extrusion.
