Barreling - take 5 barrels at a time

It seems that the barreling action per barrel is extremely short - only 0.2 seconds. Wasn't current shortest cycle 0.5 seconds?
Wouldn't it make more sense for an assembly machine to take 5 empty barrels and 250 fluid units to make 5 full barrels in 1 second?

Yes, that, but only for the barreling. I put this here only due to recent changes in barreling, which might need some extra balancing.

You can make a new mod with part of this mod, just take and do it.

I wonder what a fully sped up (with beacons and spd3 modules) setup would do with current barelling recipe
.

Try this mod, I can't submit it.

I've set barreling recipes to process 10 barrels in 2s instead of 1 every 0.2s in ReStack 0.3.7.
You can get it from
github, as I'm unable to upload to the portal for 2 days now.

Thanks! I really appreciate the help.
However, as I mentioned earlier, I thought this is more of a balancing issue, as it's very unusual for any in-game cycle time to be less than 0.5 seconds.

This causes a potential problem. I had my barrels set to stack size of 5 and I only got 5 full barrels output even though I input 10 barrels. I'm fixing it by setting their stack size to 10 and cutting their capacity in half.
edit: The fix doesn't work. When I change the stack size to half, it increases the number of barrels processed at a time to 20.
edit edit: I fixed it. I changed the mod to use 250 fluid instead of 500 in the barreling recipe.

The shortest cycle supported by the game engine is 1 completed recipe per tick, or 60/second. So the barreling recipe will not get any faster than
Code: Select all
assembler speed(x) / recipe time(0.2) => 60
x => 60*0.2
x => 12
A barreling assembler won't gain any speed bonus beyond 12 assembler speed.
