Oh, I also found a funny but useless exploit with coal stacks from Yuoki, when using the machines to craft it using the coal>dust>bricket>stack instead of the strait coal>stack, because it produces stacks with way less coal.
Basically, instead of using 50 coal for a stack, you can turn 4 coal into 2 stacks.
Due to the recipe of converting back into coal providing 50 coal, you basically get 100 coal for the cost of 4.
Sure, the machines consume a fir amount of energy, but in turn, you can use all that surplus (either in coal or coal stack form) to power a low of steam machineries, without any need to ever mine coal ever again.
It feels a bit cheap, but I'm still using it, because I had fun setting it up when I was experimenting what I could do.
~Slay Mithos
4 coal (32 MJ) = 6 coal-dust (36 MJ) = 2 briquette (38 MJ) = 2/3 stack (38 MJ) (full-stack 57 MJ)
3 dust = 1 briquette its wrong in current state (3=3)
changed ! in next update
i have no recipe from coal-stack to coal.
the only current direct cheating way is using cimota to make wood -> synthese into petroleum-gas -> cimota -> uc2, gives a plus about 40% uc2 with 6 chemical-plants, works with coal too but lesser efficency.
all other recipes burn your stuff so in a very long game you would loose all material without treefarm or exploring new mining/oil fields. even if you use solar-energy because solar-panels itself cost material and energy consumed by transformation not aviable for other assemblys.
(ok i ignored the special-drill too)
