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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium Ore | 27.164/min | 160/min each | 1120/min each | 1240/min each |
