Iron Plate

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

The following shows different ways to produce 1 Iron Plate / second, or 60 / min:
Recipe 	Iron Ore/min (WP)	Coal/min (WP)	Crude Oil (WP)	Total WP	Total Energy/item (MJ)	Space(m)	Buildingcounts	Sink valueinput (item)	Sink valueinput (ore)	Sink valueoutput
Default 	() 	- 	- 	 	 	 	 	180 	48.46 	360
Coated 	() 	- 	() 	 	 	 	 	680 	40.21 	360

* 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
** Plastic#Alternate recipes analysis

== Tips ==
* The fastest way to make Iron Plates from Iron Ingots is using the Solid Steel and Steel Coated Plate alternate recipes. This, however, involves using Coal and Crude Oil, which are rarer resources.

== History ==
* Patch 0.4.0.0: Increased stack size from 100 to 200
* Patch 0.3.3.2: Fixed the broken Iron Plate texture
* Patch 0.3.2.2:
** Reduced the cost of Coated Iron Plate
** Increased the Iron Plate requirement of Bolted Iron Plate
* Patch 0.3:
** Default recipe:
*** Changed Iron Ingot cost from 2 to 3
*** Changed Iron Plate output from 1 to 2
