Now with this update (.13) i wanted to put this power switch everywhere.

Here my green circuit production:



if metal and copper are coming without problem this factory produces almost 1000 green circuit per minute
Green circuit = 964/m - 965/m
copper cable = 1000/m ( puts these in the box on the left side)

consumes:
copper cable = 2900/m
copper plate = 1400/m - 1500/m
iron plate = 964/m - 965/m

all in all i like it one covers my demand of greencircuit and with two i got more than enough

Energy is turned on if:
- less than 14 circuits are on the belt in the middle
- less than 18.000 circuits are in the passive provider boxes
- less than 9000 copper cable is in the box on the left.

gimmick is that the gate (top right) only opens if the factorie is offline ( work safety )

I think it is more efficient to use productivity modules in the assemblers and then surround with speed beacons. You can then use a 1:1 copper:circuit setup because of the boosted cable output and produce circuits almost twice as cheaply in terms of copper cost.

Wouldn't you need 50% bonus production. Also what is the ROI ON 4 productivity modules in a Copper machine? about 24,000 units or in a green factory about 2.8 hours?

Its enough to warrant a 1:1 ratio. And dont worry about the ROI of modules in measures of "time" because this is entirely dependant on how big your factory is, and like on the amount of speed moduels you got.

The only thing certain is that prod modules in higher tier production is better.
