Help calculating materials for One Rocket

[trqwe]

I'm trying to calculate for myself the material needed for one rocket. I'm comparing my results to this post and also the wiki getting slightly different results, especially for oil-based products. Can someone help me understand why my results are different? Both lists assume full prod 3 modules.

Numbers with in green are the same as the the post I linked to. Numbers in red are different.

• Radar 5
  Accumulator 100
  Solar panel 100

  Copper ore 17348.4708956629
  Coal 2999.15099477782
  Crude oil Not Calculated
  Petroleum 68744.8021297453
  Light oil 41993.7205651491
  Heavy oil Not Calculated

So far example, back-calculating Sulfuric acid required:

Battery: 500 * 20 / (1.3)
Processing units: 610.2 * 5 / (1.4)

Total: 9871.593

This number is different, even accounting for the 10x liquid numbers in 0.15. But I don't see how I'm mistaken, given that the number of batteries and processing units are the same.

The difference is due chemical lab now has 3 module slots in v 0.15

so your stuff is correct, except the oil numbers cause solid fuel

The wiki is definitely outdated. I think you (or I) still have some things wrong even excepting the chemical plant module change. Here's what I'm calculating:

Raw materials needed:

- Water (liquid): 23949/sec (1.4369e+06/min)
- Copper ore: 16016/sec (9.6099e+05/min)
- Coal: 2598.7/sec (1.5592e+05/min)

Intermediate products created:

- Copper plate: 19220/sec (1.1532e+06/min)
- Electronic circuit: 15913/sec (9.5477e+05/min)
- Sulfuric acid: 9871.6/sec (5.923e+05/min)

- Steel plate: 6316.3/sec (3.7898e+05/min)
- Solid fuel: 5459.2/sec (3.2755e+05/min)
- Advanced circuit: 2693.9/sec (1.6163e+05/min)
- Low density structure: 814.29/sec (48857/min)
- Rocket fuel: 764.29/sec (45857/min)
- Sulfur: 759.35/sec (45561/min)
- Rocket control unit: 714.29/sec (42857/min)
- Processing unit: 610.2/sec (36612/min)
- Speed module: 510.2/sec (30612/min)
- Battery: 500/sec (30000/min)
- Accumulator: 100/sec (6000/min)
- Rocket part: 100/sec (6000/min)
- Solar panel: 100/sec (6000/min)
- Iron gear wheel: 25/sec (1500/min)

Output products:

For what it's worth, my values agree on everything except petrol/coal to this post on reddit:

They dont match, for example advanced circuit.

But youre right, 0.15 changed a few things and that is causing the difference for the OP.

Maybe I could have been a bit clearer.

My values match the ones given in the linked reddit post, not the ones in the OP of this thread.

[bobucles]

There are basically going to be 4 sets of numbers. Normal mode, Expensive mode, and both modes using Prod3 all the way down.

You have been clear, they still dont match. For example:

Yours: - Advanced circuit: 2693.9/sec (1.6163e+05/min)
On Reddit: Advanced Circuit: 3,422.74

The reddit post is also outdated since 0.15 introduced a few changes. As far as i know the OP has the correct numbers for 0.15 "normal" recipes.

[aober93]

For completion, this is it for "expensive" recipes.
1.all prod3 modules
2.in red = changes over "normal" recipes
3.green = equal to normal recipes

Thanks guys, yes the difference was due to the chemical plant change, doh. Completely forgot about that.

The wiki is definitely outdated. I think you (or I) still have some things wrong even excepting the chemical plant module change. Here's what I'm calculating:
Intermediate products created:
- Copper wire: 41796/sec (2.5077e+06/min)

Your number seems to be off (different than the reddit post even).


Here is my final calculations, which I believe to be fully accurate for 0.15


In this table, I split up copper cables for advanced circuits and electronic circuits, since cables will be produced on-site. I also calculated how many iron plate smelters I need to dedicated for steel production, which should make optimization a little bit easier.

The number of miners needed seems incredibly bad with only prod 3 modules. I will probably substitute one prod3 module for a speed module in the miners, which would be way, WAY faster. For those who've already done the 1 RPM challenge, how did you set up your mining outposts?

[mophydeen]

was correct for 0.14, changed:
- 3 prod 3 in refinery, chem
- red circuits 8 > 6 seconds

I believe you've over estimated oil, because of this change:

> Reduced the plastic bar recipe requirement of petroleum gas 30 -> 20

In your recipe, you're still using 1.5 (15) petrol per plastic rather than 10.
