In order to get a better understanding how expensive some items are, it would be great to see the raw costs of items. even the factorio Wiki is somewhat limited look for example Spidertron:
We still dont know how much raw materials were needed for the processing units. so it would take quite some additional calculations to get too those real raw costs.
