That is a great idea, if you had to craft circuit boards from wooden boards and wooden boards could be made from purely assembler recipes, not in-hand. If you add a Burner Assembler (which I have in my mod pack, a Burner Assembler can only handle single-input recipes, but it would be fine enough to turn logs into boards (and logs into resin, which is my main point in early-game, automates 'most' of the red science (science overhaul mod) but not the last step until I get some research done), then you can handle the algae fibers into wooden boards via assembler later too, there is no conflict then since both require an assembler.Arch666Angel wrote:Yuoki did not balance the mod around vanilla or to be a good addition to other mods, it is more like what he missed and wanted to have in the game and what he did with power generation and the other parts is pretty cool, but it has and is intended to have another feel than the base game.
For my personal games I only use bobs and some quality of life mod really and of course my own, but that's it. And like Yuoki I do mod in what I think is missing from the game or bobs. One point where you can see this is the base game mod in vanilla, there one can see that the concept works fine for bobmods and a shitton of resources, but falls short with just copper and iron as ores.
So it is always a question of personal preference, that of the modder and that of the player.
I'll have to do some experiments on the wood-board issue when I get to that, but I would probably change it so that you have to process the wood into fibers (which you already can) and then remove the other recipes for making wooden board, so that the only ways to craft wooden boards are with fibers, that wont do the trick with the recipe blocking, but at least you wont be able to turn a tree into a circuit board directly.
Edit: With the current flowchart there are already 2 recipes each for different resins and plastics, so there is room to replace the current plastic/resin and synthetic wood with these recipes and do a tirade on them
In my packs I also use the Stamina mod that drains your health as the player does 'activities', like crafting or harvesting (and slows regeneration while walking), which encourages usage of assemblers, especially the single-recipe-capable Burner Assembler.
