Schall Machine Scaling


Adds scaled up versions in different sizes for various machines. Number of overtiers can be freely adjusted. Designed for megabases and gigabases, by reducing total number of entities (thus reduced save file size, improved UPS). Includes assembling machine 3, chemical plant, electric furnace, oil refinery, centrifuge, lab, boiler, steam engine, steam turbine, heat exchanger, nuclear reactor, storage tank.

g [Responded] Massive! (Will not implement)

4 years ago

Schallfalke thanks for the fantastic mod!

One request though. Can you add an option, maybe off by default, where the structures don't get more and more massive? Would like to be able to use this with very limited space.

Glad you find this mod useful.

Hmm... no. The prime motivation of "scaling" is simulating 4 machines combining into a single bigger machine, so simplifying infrastructure (belts, inserters, loaders, power poles, etc) without cheating in space requirement. (In fact, tier +2 and above are already cheating... +2 machines use 9× space of original but having 16× speed.)
Without the increase in size, the input/output inserters/loaders/pipes would not be able to feed ingredients/products in/out of the much faster machine. So the higher tier machines would become meaningless.
