factory with production block have too much simultaneous production lines

[theCrow]

version 0.16.7

 

I created a luxury food factory (size S) (without a production block).

I have 2 production lines. (correct, it is a size S factory).

The factory needed roundabout 6.5 minutes to create one product (luxury food).

All is fine.

 

Then I thought: It is faster with a production block?

I added a production block (avorion). What happens?

The production ist not faster but I have multiple production lines at the same time.

(In my case I had 25 lines. The station created new lines, when it has the incridients).

I attached a image.

 

What I expected:

- The max. multi production lines is only defined by the factory size (S...XL)

- When production blocks should have an effect, then only the production speed

[Kamo]

When production line amount is calculated, the new amount of production lines begins at once.

So the station had 2 production lines : 2 lines.

Then it got avorion'd : 2 (previous lines) +4 new lines if I remember it well.

Then it got upgraded, from S to XL : 6+5 (S to M), 11+6 (M to L), 17+7 lines (L to XL), so 24 lines should have been displayed at once at the moment. The 25th must have been one of the "free" lines from not having production blocks at all (so it would apply an "iron" line before updating to avorion).

The unused production lines should cease after the cycle is complete, going back to either 7 lines (applying material max production lines + 3 lines due to upgrades) or 5 lines (applying station upgrade level-related max production lines).

 

Do not hesitate to tell if the number of lined changed after a 6.5 mn cycle, a back-and-forth jump or maybe a restart :).

Thanks.

I tested a little bit more around.

factory in size S: 1 production line

factory in size S with production block (iron 15.5x15.5x15.5): 28 production lines

factory in size S with production block (avorion 15.5x15.5x15.5): >40 production lines

factory in size XL with production block (avorion 15.5x15.5x15.5) : too many to count  :)

 

To change the factory size and/or add production blocks have the same result: faster production

(To upgrade a station or add production blocks is more or less the same.)

 

The hint on the production block "add X production lines" is more confusing than helpfull.
