I just noticed this, seems like a small oversight but since you get +60% on productivity modded factories you actually pay less per chest for the logistics chests than you do for the base steel chest (Although you also need some copper, its very little)
Iron cost of steel chest with +60% productivity : 25
Iron cost of smart chest ~ 17
Iron cost of logistical chests ~12 and < 5 copper plates
So you basically get them for half cost.
Might be a good idea to substitute the steel chest and smart chest with 8 steel in the advanced recipies?
[0.8.0] Logistics Chests cheaper than steel chests modded
Re: [0.8.0] Logistics Chests cheaper than steel chests modde
It would be a better idea to remove productivity modules from the game ... or replace them with something other. For me it feels like cheating, if you mine 1 ore and get 2 ore inestead for example. The game is designed for expanding to new res nodes and not to sit at the same spot all the time. It makes the whole transport management obselete.

Hello, this will not apply for 0.9 as production modules are limited to intermediate products.
