What is the purpose of making wooden boards out of paper? I do somehow not see it.

(all numbers are based on a production of 2boards/sec)

The cheapest way is at the moment with 1 mk1 assembler making the boards and 0.5 mk1-as. making wood and 1,5 tree aboretum making the raw wood. This only needs ~300kW and have a surplus of bio plastic/resin.

The second best is with bobs greenhouses.
3,077 greenhouses + 0,077 mk1-as (seeds) + 0,5 mk1-as (wood) + 1 mk1-as (boards) needs ~465kW

The third best is with cellulose to wood production.
0,128 chemical-pl. (paste) + 0,534 mk2-as (wood) + 1 mk1-as (boards) needs ~ 200kW but also 1/s cellulose fibre

And then the 3 paper production came, which are way worse.

Tech3 paper production needs about 2,3MW and an input of 4 cellulose fibre/s

Tech2 paper produciton needs about 3,4MW and an input of 6 cellulose fibre/s

The side products aren't good either, so I can't see any reason to use them at the moment. Do I miss something?

(Wooden boards are the only thing you can make out of paper at the moment)

This prolly should be under Angels mods ?

yes

Did a mistake and couldn't find a way to delete the thread. sorry
