Hey! I’ve been playing around with some configs and I really like your mod. I play with Bob’s Machines and I missed having a clear progression into SA machines—your idea scratches that itch nicely. A few suggestions:

1.Beacon & vanilla integration
I only use Bob’s Machines and I’m missing a normal beacon progression. Maybe add an option to integrate some vanilla machines/beacons for a smoother midgame?

2.Special-effects buffs (prod/quality)
Right now the buff is ×1.2 per tier. That gives something like Tier 2 = 60% and Tier 3 = 72%. Personally, I prefer cleaner breakpoints (multiples of 5 or 10), so I tried √2 ≈ 1.41422 per tier. That makes T2 ≈ 70% and T3 ≈ 100%. It might be a bit OP—but that could be the point of high-tier machines, right?

3.Support for machines from other mods
I miss a few machines from other packs—for example, Muluna’s Telescopes. If you haven’t played Moshine/Panglia yet, I highly recommend them; they’d be great to integrate the machines into your mod progression.

4.Community spot
Consider opening a Discord (or similar) to make discussion and feedback easier.

These are just suggestions—I really like the current state of your mod and I’m happy to help however I can. Thanks for the great work!

Im willing to add beacons and other vanilla machines, but dont really want to re-implement what bobs does. Let me know if you can think of any other machines that would be good here. (I kinda do that already with some of the turrets)
I made the Special-effects buffs configurable in the mod startup setting, so people can set the to whatever they want, but i kept the default level low cause its a bit op. I dont really plan on changing the default because of that.
I will eventually add more modded planet support as my play through gets to those planets (I dont want to spoil myself)
I may make something like a Discord if this gets popular, but for now I don't plan on anything.
