Concrete

Concrete is a material primarily used to construct Foundations, Walls, several other buildings, and some parts.

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Concrete / second, or 60 / min:
Recipe 	Limestone/min (WP)	Crude Oil (WP)	Raw Quartz/min (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy/item (MJ)	Space(m) 	Buildingcounts	Sink valueinput (item)	Sink valueinput (ore)	Sink valueoutput
Default	180(34.05) 	- 	- 	34.05 	48.13 	320 	4 	360 	360 	720

* 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:

* Should you run out of Limestone but have extra Rubber, Rubber Concrete can be used to boost your concrete production. This recipe has the highest conversion of Limestone to Concrete, at the cost of needing Oil.- "The Rubber does NOT make the foundations any bouncier. Trust me, I tried."
*Need to boost your Concrete production but don't want to use valuable resources? Try Wet Concrete. It has a decent conversion rate, but you have to use the bulky refineries and water.- "When life gives you lemons (water), don't make lemonade. Flush them down the toilet (refinery). "
*Fine Concrete has the second best Limestone-to-Concrete conversion, but it needs silica, which you only get from Raw Quartz or Aluminum Refinement.- "Concrete so fine, it's worth every dime."

==Trivia==
*The maximum amount of Concrete that can be created per minute (using alternate recipes) is 35,240.
==History==
*Patch 0.4.0.0: Increased stack size from 100 to 500
*Patch 0.3.3.0: Reworked & optimized concrete
*Patch Closed Alpha 2: Updated Concrete icon to be more readable.
