g [addressed]Macerator Speed

9 days ago

Hey, just want to say that I've had a lot of fun with your mod. I do have a small suggestion, though.

Is there any way to increase the macerator speed besides quality? Even at legendary quality, they can only delete 25 items/second which is much slower than recyclers when augmented with modules/beacons.

I was hoping to use them to simplify the destruction of resources on Paracelsin/Fulgora, but because they delete items so slowly and I cannot find any way to further improve their deletion speed, it seems like it is better to just continue to use recyclers for destruction.

Maybe I am missing something or maybe I am just hoping to use them in a way that wasn't planned.

If you wanna delete more just build more, the macerator isnt deaigned to delete houndreds of items per second

I'm not sure why I would want to build more when I can currently achieve better results from using less recyclers. I guess I'm just not seeing the niche that macerators are supposed to fill.

Consider a stacked green belt carrying 240 items/second. If you wanted to delete that whole belt of items it would take ~10 legendary macerators. With the right recycler setup, you could achieve the same thing using as few as 1 machine.

What is the point of a machine that has no other purpose besides destroying items being 10x worse at it than the vanilla recycler?

It... Destroys them? The recycler doesnt always destroy them. It was created to be a true resource sink to avoid clogging on paracelsin
