I'm fairly sure I'm not missing something - With just vanilla game files, no mods loaded, the suggested number of mining drills for a specified rate of output will be exactly double that which is actually required.
(ie, it takes 5 electric drills (at 0.5 ore per second) to feed 8 stone furnaces (each 0.3125 per second), but Foreman currently tells me it will require 10 electric drills to feed 8 stone furnaces)}

Rybadour: Hmm, If I recall 0.16 added hardness or something right? I have a feeling Foreman doesn’t yet read those values.
(user): I believe it’s actually the opposite. At some point they removed the notion of “hardness”, and recently just standardized the ore mining rates to 0.5/s (in electric drills) for all ores, except uranium which is 0.25/s.
Perhaps Foreman has some legacy hardness-related code that’s scaling up the values it’s reading in? (Probably not insightful, I’m no coder 🙂)
