Nice job cleaning up the intermediate products tab. Now the only inconsistencies are:

• Stone brick (logistics) is allowed to use productivity modules
• Barrelling and unbarrelling (intermediate products) is NOT allowed to use productivity modules.

[NotRexButCaesar]

• Stone brick (logistics) is allowed to use productivity modules
• Barrelling and unbarrelling (intermediate products) is NOT allowed to use productivity modules.

Barreling should be under logistics imo. I think stone bricks are fine, but I always find myself looking for them in the intermediates tab.

[Impatient]

• Barrelling and unbarrelling (intermediate products) is NOT allowed to use productivity modules.

Are you suggesting to allow that? Or to move the un-/barelling to another tab?
It must be the second. Allowing prodmods here, would create a perpetum mobile loophole.

[TheEnemy42]

I begin to wonder about the intermediate products. I guess the nature of the name is that these are products that can't really be used by themselves but rather are a part of something else. Do science packs belong there? They are used as-is. How about fuel (rocket, nuclear, uranium fuel cell)? Why is the satellite under Production and not Intermediate?

[Dune]

Why is the satellite under Production and not Intermediate?

Because then someone would argue you could use productivity modules to make them.

Honestly, why not?

EDIT:

[*]Moved rocket silo + satellite into the production tab.

Not seeing any changes to the production tab. Satellite's still there like any other production item. Anywhere particular to look?

Rocket silo and satellite are now in the production tab. Before that, they were not (rocket silo was in the military tab, and satellite in the intermediates one).

[foamy]

... I am a dummy and thought it was talking about the *production stats*

Never mind!

[ickputzdirwech]

The biggest inconsistency that remains is imo the order of fluids vs barrels and some oil recipes (solid fuel and sulfuric acid).

[cynicalwanderer]

Allowed to use productivity module on nuclear fuel production + nuclear fuel reprocessing.

On a related note, I'd like to see further additional usages for efficiency modules, particularly say in roboports and radars. Currently these modules don't really have many valid reasons to be used other than in deathworlds, so it'd be refreshing to have a new way for them to become important.

[someone1337]

Im playing a "it if can fit prod modules, you have to put prod modules in it" / maximise natural resources/dont waste (therefore: no coal liquification, no filling up a chest and shooting it, no filling the map with radars, lightoil to solid, as long as possible/not backed up due to excess gas, ...) game.

Changes

• Allowed to use productivity module on nuclear fuel production + nuclear fuel reprocessing.

This seemingly harmless change really has some impact on nuclear...
Even before the change 1 nuclear fuel cell was cheaper than 1 dark green uran, but with this change we get to almost 0.75 uran for one fuel cell.

The numbers (guran = light green uran; uran = dark green uran):

Code: Select all

cells:
1 guran + 19 uran -> 10 cells
40% -- 5+2 -> 5 guran + 95 uran -> 70 cells
(70 cells because its the first full bonus: 2.0 bonuses = 5.0 runs)


kovarex:
3 uran -> 1 guran
20% -- 4+1 -> 12 uran -> 5 guran


nuclear with kovarex:
--> 107 uran = 70 cells
--> 1.52857142857143 uran = 1 cell


reprocessing: now
5 used cells -> 3 uran
20% -- 4+1 -> 20 used cells -> 15 uran
-> 70 used cells -> 52.5 uran


nuclear with kovarex + new reprocessing:
--> 107 - 52.5 -> 54.5 uran = 70 cells
--> 0.778571428571429 uran = 1 cell



reprocessing: before
5 used cells -> 3 uran
0% -- 4 -> 20 used cells -> 12 uran
-> 70 used cells -> 42 uran

nuclear with kovarex + old reprocessing:
--> 107 - 42 -> 65 uran = 70 cells
--> 0.928571428571429 uran = 1 cell

How am I ever supposed to use up my first uran-patch?
It was 600k at the beginning, it is 200k now (after 200 hours in that map) and due to the changes and due to mining productivity going up i struggle to find a non-wasteful way to use it up...

[kovarex]

How am I ever supposed to use up my first uran-patch?

I don't know, make thousands of atomic bombs maybe?

[eradicator]

How am I ever supposed to use up my first uran-patch?

Enrich it all the U235 to compress it 3:1, then build a heavily guarded storage facility ;).

[Optera]

How am I ever supposed to use up my first uran-patch?

Enrich it all the U235 to compress it 3:1, then build a heavily guarded storage facility .

And wait for the US to sabotage it.

[Amarula]

How am I ever supposed to use up my first uran-patch?

I don't know, make thousands of atomic bombs maybe?

First thought: make thousands of reactors!
Second thought: then I will never run out of power again!
Final though: except my Factorio super-power is finding yet another way to run out of power so...
I'm doomed
Thousands of bombs it is...

Agreed. Even with the barrels as catalysts you'd still be able to turn power into fluid multiplication.

That'd be neat. Or in beacons, perhaps, if they reduced the power consumption of beacons (including the one they're mounted in). I don't know if it would be enough to break the utter dominance of speed + prod for most people, but it couldn't hurt.

[Marvin]

Still amazes me how you release after release, year after year, keep on fixing all these bugs and keep the game to such high standards. Thank you so much!

[Khagan]

Code: Select all

reprocessing: now
5 used cells -> 3 uran
20% -- 4+1 -> 20 used cells -> 15 uran
-> 70 used cells -> 52.5 uran

nuclear with kovarex + new reprocessing:
--> 107 - 52.5 -> 54.5 uran = 70 cells
--> 0.778571428571429 uran = 1 cell

You've calculated the productivity on the reprocessing as 25%, not 20%. With maximum productivity everywhere, 19 U238 + 1 U235 gives 10 x 1.4 = 14 fuel cells, which reprocess to 14/5 x 3 x 1.2 = 10.08 U238 for a net consumption of 8.92 U238. The U235 can be kovarexed from 3/1.2 = 2.5 U238, so we end up with 14 fuel cells from 11.42 U238, which is 0.816 U238 per cell.

But that is a small correction, and the point you are making is still valid; there was already a synergy between reprocessing and productivity, and this change enhances it. On the other hand, both reprocessing and nuclear fuel production are very slow processes, so the payback time for high-level productivity modules is long – long enough to wonder whether it is really worth doing.
