Trivia

  • The most efficient way to produce boron from borax is via the ore acidizer; although both the acidizer and arc furnace yield 3 tiny piles of boron per borax, given that the acidizer can use effectiveness upgrades, and that the recipe to turn borax into boron benefits from a +25% effectiveness per level, the yield of boron from the acidizer is greater.
