Factorio Forums

so using this progam that is on the forums i was able to generate this flow chart. but it is outdated(the program maker is M.I.A) and refuse to work for some recipes, but it is someting.

that shows just how complex it is to make the equivelent of the advanced circuit board. I can't help but notice it uses the wood based resin for the phenlic board, and synthetic wood, but also it seems to also use the oil based resin too, for a single unit of resin input.

well that one was a modified auto generated one one of the problems that the program has it that it do not see the overwrited recipes, so the since 3 use the vanilla red circuit and not the electronic circuit board from bobs mod.

the tool has been recently updated and is now fully working on mods

And that cause issues within the player's crafting, since the Synthetic wood is the preferred recipe to be used, and I can't manually make that type of wood, so I need to create the Wooden Boards manually to manually create the Basic circuits.

you get the same issue with merged circuits. the crafting prefers to craft a speed module, then an efficiency module to make a raw speed module, rather than making the raw speed module first. which means it would rather craft through the chain to make a MK8 speed module, and a MK8 efficiency module to make a MK8 raw speed module, rather than making a MK1 raw speed module, then upgrading it to MK8.

unfortunately, the only real cure is to remove the alternate selection. in the case of synthetic wood, this could be to make the normal wood with the synthetic wood recipe, but I purposely made it so you can only use the new synthetic wood for circuits, rather than make normal wood and allow you to use it for everything you'd normally use wood for.
