Factorio Forums

When you hover the mouse over a factory, the side bar shows the recipe and input/output values. The output quantities are not always correct. A couple instances I saw I wrote off to rounding, but this instance is clearly showing the building's productivity bonus is not being applied to the secondary product output.
The base recipe with the building's 50% production bonus should produce .5 Hot Fluoroketone per sec not .33. Thanks

Thanks for the report however this is correct. The fluid is not effected by productivity in this recipe.

Trying to understand the logic here... Are secondary products not affected by productivity, or what determines what the prod bonus counts towards?
On recipes that loop a product back to a source this can make or break a factory design.

Thanks

The specific recipe is marked as having that fluid ignored by productivity. In this case, because the "hot" fluid is just a warmed version of the "cold" fluid that the ingredients list. It's not producing the fluid as much as it's just warming it.

Just like how the barrel filling and emptying recipes don't allow productivity (because they do not create anything, but just transform between two states). If the barreling recipes allowed productivity you could cycle them infinitely and generate fluid from nothing.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it. That makes sense. It's not the most intuitive, but I get it. It would be nice if there was a way to indicate which products got the bonus at a quick glance. Maybe an icon overlay or something that shows an up arrow with a % sign. No need for specific value, just the symbols so we know it's boosted or not.

Anyways, Thanks!
