How automatic choices work
Automatic choices use a disclosed throughput-first preview, not a whole-factory optimum. Ore remains a terminal mined resource, so node purity is never guessed.

Extraction quick reference
Convert sustained demand into source nodes.
Counts are alternatives assuming every tap uses the same purity.
| Resource | Need | Impure | Normal | Pure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium Ore | 3.125/min | 160/min each | 1120/min each | 1240/min each |
| Titanium Ore | 62.917/min | 260/min each | 1120/min each | 1240/min each |
