Thanks!

1. Replace the silicon nitride in the burner heat source 3s and artillery turret MK2 and the tungsten plate in the thorium reactor with refined concrete, and replace the tungsten carbide plate in the deuterium reactor and artillery turret MK3 with a new item called composite material, which is crafted from refined concrete and low density structures and can be used as a path.
This is so that the progression of path materials gets preserved in recipes, like other series of items.
2. Replace the portable fusion reactors in the fusion powered robots with vehicle fusion cell MK1s.
This is because flying robots are vehicles, and a vehicle fusion cell MK1 produces enough to power both robot MK4s.

not sure about the first idea, Silicon Nitride isn't used as a path material anyway... the entire floor tile system was added after these materials.
The second idea is good though, I'll look into it, though this idea would be redundant when I get around to doing the RTGs (If I get around to it)

I know that Silicon Nitride isn't a path material. I was trying to say that if the first tier of a item uses a path material, higher tiers of the building should use higher tiers of path materials. This is how plates, pipes, gears, bearings, circuits, modules, electronic components, and heat pipes are used, but currently, path materials in lower tiers of buildings correspond to intermediates in higher tiers.

enchant wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 11:18 am Another question... If I'm reading this right, the tier 4 logistic robot is constructed in half a second. It requires 1 tier 4 flying robot frame, which takes 20 seconds to construct. So if I were to create an optimized factory to create tier 4 robots, I'd need 40 assemblers just to make the frames? Do I have that right?
