It is great, that you work together with Earendel. Just doing K2+SE and really like it. SE changed industrial furnace (part of AAI Industry) a week ago to have 5 module slots and higher speed. Your endgame furnace "only" has 4 slots, such that it becomes nearly useless. The only benefit is the 3xhigher speed. Due to only one beacon can influence one building, the bigger size if worse as well. The only advantage is needing less modules. But e.g. taking 5xlvl 5 prod modules gives more bonus than 4xlvl 6 prod modules (60% compared to 56%) at similar total costs even taking into account that you need 3 times more buildings (lvl 6 is slightly more than 3 times as expensive as it requires 3 lvl 5 modules)
I was considering changing your one to 5 modules as well, but it would feel less cheaty if it is done by you :-D Any plans on adjusting your furnace?
