Infobox Disagrees with Article
This article states that the module adds 40% speed, but the infobox states 50%. I can't, at the moment, check which value is correct. RETheUgly (talk) 15:05, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought I should mention this
- the comparison between the tiers of module, and the main modules page, both depend on which value is correct. Please make sure that all mentions of speed modules are consistent when someone verifies the value.
Electricity value over module 2 and module 1
In every calculation I've tried, module 3s end up saving energy over module 2s and module 1s. Module 3 gives +20% speed for the cost of +10% electricity over module 2, but also requires fewer assemblers to produce the same output.
In one calculation on Vulcanus currently, producing 1800 advanced circuits / min would require 37 assemblers, each with 4x prod2 and surrounded by 8x beacons with 2x speed 2. With like 80 beacons or so this is 150 MW. But with speed 3 modules, it only requires 24 assemblers and 56 beacons or so, bringing the power use down to 110 MW. And the one-time cost of making the speed 3 modules.
