Different scaling for player logistics requests
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2014 1:21 am
Currently the values for an item request on player slots for logistics systems is increments of 1 up to 10, then 10 up to 100, 100 up to 1000, etc. Since everything stacks in powers of 2, it would be more beneficial to allow requests to be in increments of powers of 2 in order to allow for better inventory management, in my opinion. For example: 1 to 2,
2 to 4,
4 to 8,
8 to 16,
16 to 32, (Stack size for pipes and some other items)
32 to 64, (Stack size for transport belts and inserters)
64 to 128, (Stack size for most basic resources)
etc.
There IS a small incremental increase in the early stages. A possible fix could be jumping straight from 1 to 8.
