The bug:
It's possible I'm missing something, but I seem to be stuck pretty early on. The issue is iron sticks. I need them to make a barn. But I can't get them until batter science, which requires barns for the ingredients.

The minor issues:
1. Baking science shows up in the tech tree as automation science.
2. Batter science shows up in the tech tree as baking science.

A request:
Maybe this is just me, but I find the way the multiple recipes are presented in factoriopedia is really confusing. For example, it took me quite a while to figure out why wheat with water is better than wheat without (same goes for wood). Intuitively, I suspected adding water would make both recipes better, but they looked identical. I eventually figured out that the crafting time is the difference. This is more of a complaint about factoriopedia instead of this mod, but it would be nice if you added some way to help dummies like me. Maybe call the recipes different things (slow wood vs fast wood?). Or tweak the recipe so that the crafting times are the same and instead the recipes with water make more wood -- so that the ratios are the same that they are now but the difference would be more obvious when comparing the recipes. (Again, "more obvious" applies to me. I'm sure plenty of folks look at the crafting speed right away.)

Hi there,
Thank you for trying the mod!
Sorry, I will check that possible bug soon as I can (might take a day). I started a new world since after the massive tech tree rework but before barns (which were just added very recently). I'll check on that and see as that may be an issue with the iron sticks and might have just been an oversight with barns.

Fair request. I don't want to change the ratios because it's all about balance (fertilizer is an exception because it's meant to be a hard challenge in exchange for a huge bonus and it also had to be nerfed because it used to be 3x bonus instead of 2x bonus like it is now). Indeed the only difference is the water, with all of the non-water being 3x the time of the water recipes (which are the same as the Baketorio mod).
No one has raised the issue yet. I do recommend checking the crafting time on those (or any recipe when comparing), as the water is just a free speed boost. I may tweak the names to add "(slow)" and "(fertilizer)" to them; I'll see.

Also, if you want to, feel free to join the Discord for updates and to get my attention much quicker XD

I checked and I had thought that iron sticks were unlocked way earlier (oops). I removed them from all 4 techs that unlock them later and added it to Animal Husbandry so you get it with the Barn. The update is up to fix it. Sorry about that.
