Hello everyone,
I haven't played factorio in a while. When i last played, assembly machine 1 could not do recipes with more than 2 ingredients, but now it seems there is no restriction? Why was this changed??

Assembling machine ingredient limit removal
The idea behind this mechanic was that better assembling machines can use more complex recipes. But the reality is, that there is not really a clear connection between the number of ingredients and the complexity of the recipe. Since it was yet another thing that had to be explained somehow, we decided to just remove it. The only real downside is, that the achievement "lazy bastard" will be much less of a puzzle, but we still consider it to be worth it.
