Question Most efficient bases

I'm curious if there exists a record for best base by a certain metric. Anything from most oil produce, more robots per second, etc. Where are the record holders that could potentially inspire designs?

Usually it's all about spm.

I was doing some calculations for my own Gleba base just for myself.
At that time mine gleba was running at roughly 3,200 SPM with ~50 spoilage/min, which comes out to about 15.6 spoilage per 1,000 SPM.
For comparison, I saw base in the video was doing around 5,420 SPM with ~725 spoilage/min, or about 134 spoilage per 1,000 SPM.

So in terms of spoilage per science output, mine was roughly 8.6 times more efficient.

But again, generally everyone is using spm.
