[0.9.1] Automating blue flasks production

Post by Rwn »

In order to build blue research flasks, you need 4 different items. This may be done either by hand or through a 4-items factory.
The research for the 4-items factory (automation 3) requires 100 blue flasks, which thus need to be hand-crafted before it is possible to automate blue flasks production.

This might be intended, but hand-crafting 100 blue flasks seems a bit much, especially as each requires 12 seconds (meaning you have to spend 20 minutes of crafting dedicated to the whole lot, assuming you already have all subcomponents).

I'd suggest either to remove the blue flasks requirement from automation 3 technology, or to lower the number of blue flasks required.

Assembly 2 can make all the items, assembly 3 just crafts faster and has more module slots.

Oh, you're right, I was sure tier 2 factories could not build 4-components items.

Sorry then, definitely not a bug ;)
