Electric drills are slightly slower than they should be

Post by Rhamphoryncus »

In 0.11 an electric mining drill would exactly feed 2 stone furnaces. In 0.12 the electric mining drill seems slightly slower; with 6 drills on a belt feeding 12 furnaces one of the furnaces will be mostly idle.

In 0.11 (and going back at least to 0.9.8) one mining drill mining iron or copper could supply roughly 1.9 stone furnaces.
I doubt if that ratio changed for 0.12, and even if it did - is it a bug or simply a re-balance?

It could also be that the furnaces are ever so slightly faster.

Have you measured actual item output of the drill over time compared to 0.11?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
