16 is the only integer n, such that there are integers p,q such that p =/= q and p^q = q^p = n

I usually push with lines of laser turrets or quickly take out the bases and kite the biters to my defenses.

Here's a way to split off 1/3, 1/5 and 1/7 of items:


1/6 is easily derived from 1/3 with one additional splitter.

I think i figured it out:
With a lab with 0 Science Pack 2 in it, I started researching
{
type = "technology",
name = "miner-6",
icon = "__DyTech-Mining__/graphics/technology/miner.png",
effects =
{
{
type = "unlock-recipe",
recipe = "basic-mining-drill-mk6"
},
},
prerequisites = {"miner ...

It is not actually a negative amount of coal, it's just a matter of how it's displayed.

The number -134 is the value of a 32 bit Integer in 2's complement representation:
11111111 11111111 11111111 01111010
The first 1 has a special meaning of: subtract 2^31 from the following number, so
Decimal ...

Seems like the problem is not limited to the assembling machine.

I'm using the Dytech Mod, so there might be something wrong with a research recipe as well.
Could it be possible for researches to require negative amounts of items?

I see a major problem here:

With Productivity 3 modules, you can make 1.2 Alien Artifacts out of 10 Alien Science Packs (If productivity modules apply to the recipe, not tested) and take those to make 1.2*10*1.4 = 16.8 Alien Science Packs at the expense of 5 Sulfuric Acid and a Processing Unit ...

I would suggest deprecating usage_priority and replacing it with separate input_priority and output_priority, and then having primary/secondary/tertiary or just numeric values for those.
Agreed, being able to set input to terciary and output to primary would be best for accumulators, since if you ...

splitting prime fractions off is possible without a mod, gets a bit expansive though...
