API for "machine productivity"

Post by JarJar1337 »

We have productivity for "base" - the electromagnetic plant from Fulgora for one, and we have recipes that give prod , ( steel plates ) and mining prod which is natural.
But I request a way to add in productivity to the machines themselves, since the electro machine has base prod wouldn't it be nice if modders could add to the prod of the specific assembly machines?

I'm not understanding what you're asking for. This just sounds like what's already there for base productivity: the productivity the machine itself has built into it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I'm asking to do a research capable of adding productivity to the machine.
I'm aware of the "base productivity" which is what the fulgora's electromagnetic-plant shows. I'm using it in a machine of mine.
I'd prefer a research that allows increase in it rather than making a new machine with more productivity as the alternative.

+1
I was also planning to do something like this, but doing all the machine entity swapping shenaniganery made it much less attractive.
