The math of what goes into creating materials... (If anyone wants to reformat it to be easier to read, by all means do it; I don't want credit just send me a link to the no doubt better version of this guide.) Something to Note Be aware that Oil, Water and Power is ALWAYS defined as PER SECOND in the game, I have made this mistake a few times with things such as the spore press where I thought my output was going to be 3 times as much as it actually performed.
