Assembler UPSGrade

by Kingdud

Provides Application Specific factories to reduce the entity count on megabase maps. Compression ratio is configurable. IE: you can decide to have each building be equivilant to 25 assemblers, or 1000. The recipes/costs/results/etc will all scale accordingly.

g How do the assembler blocks work?

4 years ago

Can I place them down and use them as a ups-efficient version of many of my assembly lines? I'd like to use this mod to make solar panel tier 4s from the Tier 32 Mod.

That's not how they work. The recipes for what can be made UPS efficient are hard-coded into the mod. There were a few reasons for this, but mainly it was down to not wanting to have everything be UPS-gradeable (because that would just be silly) and partly because not every recipe works with the backend code I use to create the entities/recipes/etc for these. Also, you run out of colors for the UPSgrade buildings pretty fast, so telling them apart becomes a problem.

Currently you can drop down an UPSgrade building for:
- Rocket fuel
- Solid Fuel (from PG/LO/HO; each is a separate UPSgrade building)
- Plastic Bars
- Green/Red/Blue chips (one each)
- Rocket Control Units
- Low Density Structures
- Engines
- Prod 3 modules
- Speed 3 modules

The reason I picked those specific recipes was because at megabase scale (~10,000 science/min) the production chains for those buildings would result in being something like 90% of the beacons/assemblers on the map. The other production chains were much smaller, less than 100 assemblers each, whereas each UPSgrade building generally saves around 400+ assemblers (and the associated beacons/inserters/chests/belts/bots/etc) each.

If you're having power problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but https://mods.factorio.com/mod/NuclearRebalance ain't one

Ok, thanks!
