[0.15.5] [minor] Requester chest requests too much

Post by Grokken »

Copying settings from an assembling machine crafting Nuclear Reactors to a requester chest sets the chest to request 5000 of each resource. A requester chest can not hold 5000 of each resource.

Hi,

seems it's now needed items times 10 for whatever reason.

Greetings, steinio.

While I do not think it would be worth build in a check for every recipe, I do wonder why it multiplies by 10 in .15 when it did only multiply by 2 in .14 which was great, 10 would bind to many items, so I would need to change all the values manually again.

Wasn't multiplying by 2 too little? I don't know who changed it, I noticed it during playtesting, and I remember some post suggesting mutliply by 2 is too little for most recipes.

Actually, it is per recipe parameter in prototypes. Nuclear reactor didn't have it specified, so the multiplier defaulted to 10.
Thanks for the report.
Fixed for 0.15.7. The multiplier will be just 1, as I don't think you need to craft reactors as fast as possible and also don't want to have 1000 of advanced circuits sitting in some requester chest somewhere.
