Do speed modules actually work with that? I would assume you are doing the speed-up using the hidden speed beacon, so the speed module should be useless.

#

I would block then from the recipe.

Why shouldn't it work? You can of course put speed modules in both a machine and beacons around it.

Since the hidden beacon should give massive amounts of speed, it would just be useless.

It's like putting prod modules in late game miners. But it's still viable in early game. In this case the beacon doesn't give speed bonus when you are not close to the sun. So why forbid speed modules in such cases? Let the player decide what makes sense.

Uhh I’m not sure, I don’t think they would, I’m not using speed beacons

I’m modifying the crafting progress

#

Oh.

#

So it cannot be too fast, then?

#

Like you cannot produce more than one item per tick, right?

Nah, but my plan is for them to work sort of like beacons.

You can place multiple and the effectiveness is split between each one, but the total effectiveness goes up
1 plant -> 100%
2 plants -> 60% each -> 120%,
Etc

Okay, so I added functionality for speed modules now

#

I might remove it later tho when I get to the balancing stage, since speed modules allow you to stay further from the sun, mitigating most of the risk
