StopIteration Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 If I'm remembering correctly, a recent change which is presumably intended, but doesn't seem to be documented in the patch notes is that "Empty Storage" now always requires dupe labor. As I recall it didn't used to require dupe labor for workstations (eg Electric Grill), but it did for the Canister Filler. However, especially with the new "Automated Storage Capacity" config for canister/bottle fillers, this dupe labor requirement can be completely circumvented -- with the fillers you can set the storage capacity to 0, and with workstations you can stop crafting whatever is being crafted. I have no opinion one way or the other if dupe labor should be required, but I think it should be consistent. No point ever using "Empty Storage" if I can just get it done immediately. For the fillers it seems reasonable that changing the capacity could require dupe labor (like valves), though that doesn't seem like a good option for workstations (however, it's less important for workstations because it's not something one typically wants to do often). Alternatively, "Empty Storage" could just never require dupe labor. As a side-note, I think it's weird that canister and bottle fillers have the same max storage capacity.

StopIteration Posted November 28, 2024 Author Share Posted November 28, 2024 One thing I forgot: "Empty Storage" for rocket cargo bays does not require dupe labor. In fact, I may be misremembering about workstations, and nothing has changed with "Empty Storage" for any building, but with the way "Automated Storage Capacity" now works, I think canister/bottle filler "Empty Storage" should be changed to one of the 3 options: Make it so empty storage doesn't require dupe labor (like cargo bays) Keep it requiring dupe labor, but require dupe labor to change the capacity (like valves) Make it so changing the storage capacity to less than what is stored do nothing (like storage bins) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160986-empty-storage-and-dupe-labor/#findComment-1763578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
