More output slots to fix throughput issues on quality crafting
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2024 9:50 pm
Im playing a quite modded game with extra quality levels and thus very high throughput (on a 10k science multiplier) and i ran into an issue.
when using e.g. an advanced furnace i can quite easily reach 2000+ items /s in production, e.g. when making iron plates with high quality beacons and modules. this works well so far (with modded belts and loaders, so input / output is less of an issue).
the issue starts when im trying to upgrade quality. as soon as there is a reasonable amount of quality bonus added, the machine starts to slow down significantly. from 2000/s to about 200/s. it seems like, at these speeds, the output is always clogged with one quality while it wants to drop another quality item. even increasing lanes doesnt really help much and it severely limits throughput.
to help with this i guess i would need a mod that adds more output slots to (ideally) all production buildings. bonus points if its possible to include modded ones and if it got a setting that lets you set how many output slots you need.
with what i have seen with different quality mods so far it seems that very high throughput could likely be achieved with 3 output slots. 4 would be better and 5 would likely be very close to max for most mods.
extra bonus points if the output stack size could be max stack size instead of the usual 5 or something.
