Proper Crafting Times on in Buildings

Post by Shokubai »

I would like to see the correct crafting cycle times displayed when looking at a recipe in a building or on mouse-over of a building. It seems strange to me that a recipe that says it takes 5 seconds to make STILL says it takes 5 seconds to make in higher crafting speed buildings or with modules attached.

Something like [clock symbol] 5 (-20% 4) instead of just [clock symbol] 5 and never changing.

Love this suggestion. Makes sense as it already shows you the change in energy consumption/pollution in the case of modules.

Yeah this would be great. Even better imo would be a production rate that tells you how many are produced per second or per minute.

Don't forget Oil Pumps!. They still say 0.1/S even with the whole +700% speed thing I end up adding sometimes....

Yes. Matching production rates is very important like in that 'P' screen. It's actually all factorio is about - how many stuff A do you need per minute to fullfill stuff B on the other end of your factory. For that reason two digits are wanted on every assembly machine, oil refinery, chemical plant, inserter, belt and tube - how much per minute does it actually got at its inputs, how much per minute it actually produced per minute. And same theoretical maximum values - how much you need at most at inputs and how much you would get at output. With all modules/beacons considered. Otherwise it's very hard to match your green-circuits production matching your red-circuits production. And you will always get situations when you factory comes to a standstill just because solar panels production eats all steel you have.

Also very helpful for new players, who might overlook that the commonly used Assembly Machines have Crafting Speeds notably lower than 1.0.
