Love the mod, using it to start a megabase with 0.17 recipes.

One note is that a developer mentioned on reddit that they changed the crafting time for blue science to reduce the amount of machines to craft blue packs (bring it in-line with other sciences).

For reference;

On second thought, they do not mention that they halved the time (my own assumption looking at the other crafting times). Would be nice if we could get confirmation from devs or something on that.

Yeah, they didn't tell us the exact value. Keep me updated on this and I change it asap when we know it.

- re2: I already said it a number of times that I would like to change this, my current proposal is 16 seconds crafting time for both Chemical and Military science packs.

It is his proposal. Does not mean it will be so. Let us wait for FFF and look if they announce something more.

Fair enough, when I kept reading he did indeed mention he's sick atm and not in regular contact with the other devs so it is his own proposal and not a settled decision.
