Ever wished for an assembling machine that had a decimal crafting speed? 2 module slots too little, 4 too much? wanted to push your assemblers to 80% efficiency limit with only tier 1 modules? Are you tired of a great lack of red colored machines?

If you answered yes to any of the above, the new assembling machine 2.5 is for you, below are the details:

• crafting speed: 1
• pollution: 3/m
• module slots: 3
• energy: 225kw active, 7.5kw passive

Recipe:

• 10 copper plates
• 5 electronic circuits
• 3 advanced circuits
• assembling machine 2

Note: assembling machine 3's recipe is by default unchanged, you can go to mod settings to make it require assembling 2.5 instead.

Unlocks with Automation 2.5:

• 150 automation science pack
• 150 logistic science pack
• 150 chemical science packs

Space exploration changes: (only takes place if space exploration is installed)
- Tech science cost: 150 -> 250
- Tech research time: 30 -> 45
- Tech moved to after lubricant
- Recipe is now:

• 100 lubricant
• 5 steel plate
• 3 advanced circuits
• assembling machine 2
