Option to display recipies in a "per second" format

Post by PhatzDomino »

Is there any chance of this ever happening? Because each recipe has a different craft time, I've always found it difficult to work out correct ratios. But after playing Captain of Industry, which has a button that allows you to just change all recipes to per minute, I found it much easier to work them out. Having this option on Factorio would be amazing. I know those Factory calculators are a thing, but I find them a too complicated and a bit cheaty.

Move love

Will.

The tooltip for a crafting entity shows the inputs and outputs per second, taking into account modules, beacons, and everything else.

Or did you mean to put "per minute" in the title? You wouldn't be the only one to request that.

The items/second on the tooltip is already a thing, and there is a suggestion somewhere asking also for an items/min. Which one fits your needs best ? :).

So I'm sure I've seen that tooltip somewhere, but now I can't find it. We're not talking about "Total Raw" are we?...

On the subject of either items per second or minute. To be honest, as long as the "per" is constant, I'm not really bothered. Its having each recipe having different craft times that makes no sense to me. I have a spreadsheet on the go for now, but thats kinda clunky.


Edit, found it... i'm dumb XD

And here I am, wishing there was the opposite option to display items per crafting time on the crafting machines to make the ratios easier. :D
