[Solved] Electric Mining Drill crafting time error ?

Post by TerribleEngineer001 »

Hi there,

I just do my second play through now that 0.16 is released.
I noticed the Recipe for the electric mining drill mentions a 2 second craft time in the game tool tip.

But on a blue machine without any bonus it looks more like 3 seconds craft time to me.

Anybody noticed that or am I going number crazy already ?
Thanks for your help !

Blue assembler has crafting speed of 0.75 which means real crafting time will be 2/0.75 = 2.66 sec

Currently tooltip for recipe will not take machine's crafting speed into account.

There is already a suggestion on forums to implement this

Ahah dammit I based my assumption on the fact that blue would have a 1 crafting time coefficient as it's the middle one.
Well hopefully things will scale as I replace all of them later on, or well I will feel like checking the ratios I set up later on !

Thanks for your help :)

If you’re doing something like a ratio-perfect science build then for most things, provided you use the same type of assembly machine for all steps, the time scaling factor is the same and you can ignore it. The place where it’s most awkward is mixing chemical plants with assembly machines as they have different speed multipliers. Of course once you add modules everything becomes more complicated.
