Does that mean the other recipe's that require an assembling machine with a pipe will be moved into the chemical plant? I find it odd that you can only fill up barrels of oil at the assembling machine...kovarex wrote:Thank for the notice, we agreed that it will leave the battery recipe in the chemical plant, so the comment will be removed.
No, the current state is something we agreed on. So assembling machine is used for stuff that you would not expect in chemical plant, like engine creation or barrel filling, but requires some fluid input.Puzzlemaker wrote:Does that mean the other recipe's that require an assembling machine with a pipe will be moved into the chemical plant?

But it's pretty inconsistent.kovarex wrote:No, the current state is something we agreed on. So assembling machine is used for stuff that you would not expect in chemical plant, like engine creation or barrel filling, but requires some fluid input.
That does make good sense.DrNoid wrote:My expectation, as a new player, would be that an assembly machine makes "things" that consist of distinct components, while a chemical factory makes "materials" that are uniform in their consistency.
For example:By this logic, a filled oil barrel would come out of an assembly machine, since it consists of parts (a barrel and oil) and it is not the result of a chemical process. Same for a battery.
- A battery consists of an anode, a cathode, electrolyte and a casing. Hence it is assembled from parts and is thus I would expect it to be made in an assembly machine.
- Plastic is just one uniform substance without distinct parts. It is made in a chemical reaction, hence I would expect it to be made in a chemical plant.
Not sure if it helps, but that's my currently still mostly "outsider" view.
This problem is similar, since a gear wheel is also not really assembled from components. It is probably die-cut or punched from a metal plate. The same goes for copper wire, which is "wire-pulled" out of a copper bar, and metal rods.DrNoid wrote:My expectation, as a new player, would be that an assembly machine makes "things" that consist of distinct components, while a chemical factory makes "materials" that are uniform in their consistency.
