After 1000 hours I found out the max units produced is 1 per tick (w/o prod modules). My green circuit assembler was over 120 so dropping it to 60 and regaining my wasted modules seemed pretty straightforward forward. I realized for more advanced items the assembler speed may still be 100 but only produce, say 2-3 per second. This got me wondering….how would you know if a machine is maxing out? Since SE doesn’t show production by surface, I can’t monitor easily without manually recreating in the sandbox. Is there a better way?
#SE - How do you know you’ve hit the max units produced per second?

I'd use one of those fancy factory planners like Helmod.

I will take a look thanks!

assembler speed / craft time = crafts per second
As long as crafts per second is less than 60 you have not hit the limit.

Does rate calculator account for this?

I think it might? At least one of those things did when I checked it a year ago odd.
