The radar transmitter receiver idea is both simple and genius.

So true, but I hope some mods will make it more features rich, like adding an ID to the signal so you can split them up

If you want that then I would look at the transmitter in space exploration. You can have unlimited named channels.

It's designed for interplanetary, but works on a surface as well.

Oh yeah you are right! Completely forgot about that one. But I would have also liked to use the feature when iam playing without space exploration haha

You can use it without the rest of SE. It's part of the AAI mods.

This low-key one of the best posts in a while. That foundry!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That foundry is next level fast. I seriously can't wait to build crazy stuff with this.

I read some place else that it was 480/s, but I haven't done the math myself

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I re-checked. With 1 wheel per crafting, 4.33 crafts per tick, and 60 ticks per second, I get 4.33 x 60 = 260. I may have missed something, but not sure what.

I just went back to FFF #387 and looked

Perhaps the biggest advantage is that the Foundry has a built-in 50% productivity bonus, which can be further boosted with the machine's 4 module slots.

So 4.33 * 60 * 1.5 = 480

I see! That checks out.

I read the last image caption "A legendary foundry crafting at a swift +2500% speed, completing 4.33 crafts per tick." with the assumption that all bonuses were taken into account.
