Decrease centrifuge stack size

Post by WDH »

TL;DR
Decrease centrifuge stack size to 10.
What?
Make the centrifuge stack size smaller. The current stack size is 50. Which, when limiting a chest to a single slot, is far too high.

Machines like electric furnaces/mining drills/assemblers are used in bulk. So stacks of 50 make sense to not clog up inventories, plus they're cheap (relative to centrifuges). If centrifuges are automated, a single assembler creating these now represents a minimum 5,000+ red circuit sink on a base before it backs up.

Oil refineries and chemical plants have stack size of 10, those machines are (arguably) used more. A stack size of 10 would bring the machine stack in line with these machines and allow for more fine tuning in buffer amounts.
