Increases a machine's speed by 20% and its energy consumption by 50%. This means that, at the cost of energy, the machine produces more items per minutes.

Basic modules, especially Speed modules, are not as efficient as higher level modules and are generally not used outside of producing upgraded modules, or as part of the recipe for other items. A speed module 1 requires a significant power increase for very little (less than half the standard rate) throughput increase, the worst amongst its group. By contrast a Speed module 3 will produce a much better proportion of throughput, for a similar power requirement downside to this one. Basic Speed module 1s should also not be used in beacons, for a similar reason to that outlined above.

In particular, it is more efficient to use the Speed module 1 in the construction of Assembling machine 3s which provide more crafting speed with less drawbacks and more capability.
