In 0.15 assembling machine inventory scales with speed modules

I found a hidden bonus feature in 0.15!

Inserters normally stop feeding an assembling machine when it has 2x the recipe in its output slot. But if you add speed modules, this limit increases!

Code: Select all

Bonus  Output Inventory
+0%    2x
+20%   4x
+100%  4x
+120%  6x
+200%  6x
+220%  8x
+300%  8x
It seems to round up to the next whole number crafting speed, then multiply by 2.

Not a 0.15 feature, it has been in the game for a while. This is from a 0.13 bug report:

Yep, sad part is that this doesn't work if assembling machine itself is faster which leads to trouble with supplying it :D
