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.
