does this simulate the buildings inside turning them in to a single
machine ?

No, it simulate the 10 factories in boxes turning them into a single factory with input and output multiplied by 10

Not specifically 10, by any number of factory boxes you have

ok so you make 1 factory it runs that factory in "real time" then multiplies the required input / output by the number of "factories" you have build out is that correct?

have you considered in some way integrating this with factorismo or similar ? as how ever your doing this from the sound seems like it could greatly help out in that style of play and im curious of the compatibility

No, I have not
It's a good idea actually, so maybe in 0.8 or so

awesome id love to test it out cus i LOVE factorismo but it and have lots of the same building it would be nice if the usp reflected that they were the same instead of hundreds of clones lol
