* When considering fuel sources for the Mecha, Energetic Graphite comes out slightly ahead of the equivalent of two Coal, with a net gain of 123 kJ per Energetic Graphite in the optimal situation of using Sorter Mk.IIIs with Sorter Cargo Stacking V. Here Coal also looses out due to energy density, with a full Mecha fuel chamber holding 1.08 GJ of energy with Coal, while holding 2.52 GJ with Energetic Graphite, which will also release its energy at a 60% increased rate. | * When considering fuel sources for the Mecha, Energetic Graphite comes out slightly ahead of the equivalent of two Coal, with a net gain of 123 kJ per Energetic Graphite in the optimal situation of using Sorter Mk.IIIs with Sorter Cargo Stacking V.

* A [[Mining Machine]] covering 2 coal nodes will produce enough coal for a single [[Smelter]] to produce Energetic Graphite at a steady pace, assuming no [[Veins Utilization (Upgrade)|Veins Utilization]] upgrades. | * A [[Mining Machine]] covering 2 coal nodes will produce enough coal for a single [[Smelter]] to produce Energetic Graphite at a steady pace, assuming no [[Veins Utilization (Upgrade)|Veins Utilization]] upgrades. | ||
