Let's say I have 2 blocks, the top one demands 1.66 sheet and 0.17 rods
Suppose I add a second block with just these 2 ingredients (completely independent). In that case, Helmod sets production of both ingredients TO MATCH EXACT VALUE of the one chosen as the main ingredient (see screenshot). So it will either be
0.17 sheet and 0.17 rods
1.66 sheet and 1.66 rods
Expected behavior:
linked production block should satisfy the production of both ingredients independently
1.66 sheet and 0.17 rods
Workaround:
create 2 blocks instead of one, each with 1 ingredient. (But for mods like Nulius that's a disaster, you have to group not to get drowned in the planner).
