[Possible Exploit] Power Control Station can be used to produce microchip components for Bionic Boosters, drastically decreasing time required to acquire skills.

Power Control Stations can be used to rapidly mass produce microchips, allowing players to create an unlimited supply of Boosters and rapidly assign Skills and Attributes to Bionic duplicants.  This might be an unintended exploit.


Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch Bionic Booster Pack build U54-6457864-SCR

2. Load any game.

3. Build a valid Power Plant room containing several Power Control Station buildings, along with at least one Heavy-Duty Generator (for example, a Wood Burner).

4. Acquire any Refined Metal and configure the Power Control Stations to use it. (Options > Config > Element Filter > All Standard)

5. Assign several Duplicants the Electrical Engineering skill or install Electrical Engineering Boosters into Bionic Dupes.

6. Build a Crafting Station or Soldering Station.

7. Select the Station and queue production for any available Booster. (Options > Config > Production Orders > Recipes list)

>>> Electrical Engineers will produce Microchips at the Power Control Stations that will be processed into Boosters at the Crafting and Soldering Stations.  This allows players to grant Skills and Attributes for Bionic duplicants more rapidly than intended by the ones produced through defragmentation sleep cycles.

Expected: Microchips generated at Power Control Stations may need to not be interchangable with those generated when defragmenting Bionics.

Buying boosters for refined metal? Instead of getting them for free? Thats not exploit, thats a disadvantage for my taste

I think it's intentional, given they just update the power plant room mechanics in the update announcing the bionic booster dlc:
