📖 How to Use
🎯 Two Powerful Modes
- Optimizer Mode: Enter your target production rate and available nodes. The calculator finds optimal miner configurations that minimize power shards, power consumption, and miner count.
- Calculator Mode: Add your actual miner setups and calculate the total output, power usage, and identify belt bottlenecks.
⛏️ Miner & Node Basics
Miner Tiers: Mk.1 (60/min), Mk.2 (120/min), Mk.3 (240/min) at 100% clock on Normal nodes
Node Purities: Impure (×0.5), Normal (×1.0), Pure (×2.0)
Clock Speed: 1% to 250% - affects both output and power consumption
Belt Limits: Mk.1 (60), Mk.2 (120), Mk.3 (270), Mk.4 (480), Mk.5 (780), Mk.6 (1200) items/min
🔀 Smart Belt Merging
The calculator uses intelligent bin-packing to minimize belt usage:
- Automatic Merging: Combines multiple miner outputs onto shared belts using splitters/mergers
- Handles Overload: Even if a single miner exceeds belt capacity (e.g., 1200/min on Mk.3 belt), calculates how many belts needed by splitting output
- Optimal Packing: Shows minimum belts required by efficiently packing outputs together (e.g., 3 miners at 100/min each = 2 belts instead of 3)
⚡ Power Shards
Overclocking past 100% requires Power Shards:
- 0 Shards: 1%-100%
- 1 Shard: 101%-150%
- 2 Shards: 151%-200%
- 3 Shards: 201%-250%
