I was curious about the recipe for the Advanced Military science:
From what i can see, the regular science is 2 per Grenade (ignoring other ingredients for now) and each cluster grenade is 7 regular grenades plus a couple other ingredients, so that should be something like 14 + science packs, but the advanced recipe only gives 10, on top of Uranium ammo which is much more expensive.

I could see a reasoning if this recipe was made in a Foundry or possibly EM Plant, to get the 50% productivity, but the Advanced recipe is only in the Assembler.
It seems to me that all this recipe does is INCREASE the amount of Coal needed (which is the bottleneck of "mega-base levels" of Military science)

Question 2, low importance: Any specific reason why Inserters aren't made in an EM plant? it felt almost like they naturally would be, but when i went to look, nothing was there.

Just wondering if there's something I'm missing, mainly about the Military Science.

Also thank you for this great mod!

Very late getting to this one; if I remember correctly, the mil science recipe was balanced around more output per machine. Not necessarily more resource efficient, but faster. I'll consider changes to it in the future. If you play with AoP the next update will have it in the armory too, at the very least.

I talked a bit more about it in another post, but inserters have many non-electronic moving parts that require complex assembly, something that based on the sprites and recipes in the EM plant it isn't optimized for, where assemblers are.

Than you!

I'll take a look at AoP, I've seen it on the mod portal, but haven't tried it yet. Thank you again!
