balancing: primary industries at base speed should be extractable with 1 fast inserter #152

Closed bahrmichael closed 1 year ago

bahrmichael commented 1 year ago

It's probably not good to require 20 inserters on a primary industry.

1 fast inserter seems like a good common ground for faster production, but something that can become faster later with upgradeable stack inserters.

According to https://wiki.factorio.com/Inserters (Inserter Throughput) a fast inserter can do 2.31 items (unresearched) and a stack inserter can do 15 items (fully upgraded onto express belt).

That's probably the range we want to allow production at: 138.5 items per minute to 900 items per minute.

We can probably build that like infinite technologies scaling within a certain range (or making it super expensive above that). See https://github.com/archiecarrot123/Infinite-Technology-Extended-2/blob/master/prototypes/vanilla-technology.lua and https://github.com/archiecarrot123/Infinite-Technology-Extended-2/blob/master/functions/basic.lua.
