I think simply put assembler are too easy. How about we expand it into a little further. Like robot arm welder, or press machine ?

I asked Angel about this a few days ago, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes this idea. Maybe once he's finished with his current plans for Smelting. While I have no issues with assemblers as they are, I'd love to see more specialised machines that are faster and more efficient, like Bob's Electronic Assemblers. I wouldn't want it to be expanded to Petrochem levels, though.

but i like petrochem, they are rather flexible than confusing.

i think the feature should divide in logistic automaton (conveyor, etc), military (bullets, cannon ammo), and research lab.
