I think you should read the thread I linked earlier. People have already gone through the calculations you are doing.

I freaking hate quality.

Ok? i absolutly hate it, I would have love that we need to speend the same amount of resources we currently do but we get 100% whatever we want because it's not quality i hate, but how it was implemented, aka GAMBLING.

You need to squint really hard to see quality (once ...

Could you just copy the world and work on that?

Is you want to have a cap you should look at https://mods.factorio.com/mod/productiv ... logy-limit

I think there would be modules of some kind in the maker though?

So people who bring flying robot frames and green chips wouldn't get it?

The mixture of water and ammonia is eutectic. That means water is liquid when it is part of the solution, and freezes into ice when separated. If you throw ice into an ocean of solution, the ice will dissolve.
And by the way, water ice would drown in pure liquid ammonia. For a solution it depends ...

Something like what you are asking for here is already doable with just interrupts. Not sure why such a complicated new entity would be needed.

The issue with this is recipes that dynamically change quality (ie: circuit network setting recipes).

Derp, completely forgot about the whole 'rockets need iron' thing. You're right about that. (my thought process had actually been that you just, ship all the stuff needed to build a rocket to Gleba, but uhh, that would be mightily expensive...)

If you've done Vulcanus or Fulgora before Gleba ...

It's been a year and this anti-automation still hasn't been fixed... Allow us to control thrusters with circuits as well.


For the thrusters thing I would recommend controlling pumps with circuits. I don't really see a problem with that.


Yes that's how everyone does it but every machine ...

I think it would be a positive change, but sometimes I do want to look at what a train is doing without interfering with it.


I don't get it. You don't need to click the button to look at the train. In fact if you see the button, you are already looking at what the train is doing.


It is ...

For anyone wondering about quality seeds growing into quality fruit see 124678. Every variation of it I can think of is on there.

Energy consumption also affects the pollution produced by a machine. The formula is
total pollution = pollution multiplier * energy usage multiplier * base pollution

Hope this helps.

Because underground connections are only blocked by lava tiles and empty space tiles. Oil ocean does not block underground connections.

Makes sense. Thanks for humoring my curiosity.

If this option isn't feasible for some reason, I'd like to be able to read the cargo landing pad inventory at the same time as setting its requests, so I can add this to the request, so all wanted items can be requested, no matter if some are in the landing pad or in some chest. Would achieve ...
