not using a certain item to its full potential is equal to wasting its existence.
Molded Recipes do not punish players for anything. Therefore they are always the "better recipes."
There is enough limestone.
There is enough iron.
There is no "danger or tower defense".
There is no difficulty.
Between choosing the default recipe and getting low yield and using the alt recipe that uses concrete for space and power (which are and can be expanded), alt recipe wins.

Thats the game design problem. One can just go grab another limestone node. There is no penalty for doing so.
I mean, it is a sandbox and safe game.
wise junco
the hidden tradeoff there is adding logistics. it is personal preference whether the effort in the logistics is worth the output received, and that's a per player basis
reef basin

"full potential"? but how is that defined?
And usually by improving resource efficiency of one resource, you lose efficiency in other resource - for your example, you save steel, but it costs your concrete
and "enough" of something is again depending on personal goals and projects. For normal playthrough there's enough of "everything"
edgy python

Ok but you don’t get a lot of concrete with base recipes so then you need to make pure concrete or use a alternate recipe for the concrete and then your using that concrete for another alt recipe some ppl js prefer to have a simple production line

Does it cost concrete to a point that the other concrete productions halt?
If not, then it is not a punishment. It is not difficulty.
Concrete and Iron is the most abundant resources in the game.
The biggest factory that one can make, aka "Full Factory, 30/s BWD" etc can be done with Iron Pipe recipe because it asks around 80k iron for EVERYTHING.
Which is, well, what game has.
Therefore, Iron Pipe is while being a logistics nightmare, it is a better recipe. Because it saves you Coal.

Also keep in mind you would need to transport that concrete if your making something that requires a lot of it for example heavy flexible modular frames which adds even more complexity and you can’t define a recipe by having the best potential because each recipe is for diff ppl or for diff purposes

I'm just using the same argument as you
mortal ginkgo
It's ok to not accept it, but doesn't make it less of a reality that Molded Recipes asks for only Concrete and Power (and some space because foundry is bigger).
Those are not negative traits. Those do not harm the game, or production due to abundance of limestone, iron and very possibly power.

ok so I think your laziness deserves a silly trivia before I go to bed:
Lizard Doggos even when tamed, can go after Berries on the ground and nom nom them. It is just a cute thing that provides nothing but providing happiness for their silliness.
Here is an interesting story though: I have 7 lizard doggos caged fully and I had Berries as decoration fairly far away from them, on a table with various other consumables.
I went away for a while and later on I saw the berries were actually gone. I thought for some reason berries dropped on ground or something but no, other items were there.
So I tested something: Put a berry REALLY height up with no way of reaching for Doggos. And guess what happened; after I went far away and come back, berries were GONE!
Conclusion: When building items are not visible or present in game, Doggos defy Z movement or any collision. So when nothing is rendered, their "nomnom" logic still works regardless of any collision or Z Axis.
No need to thank me. Yes.

right well you'll need to time the trip if one train is enough for the loop
if your train cars will fill up before it completes the loop, you'll need more than 1 doing the loop

Are Nuke nobelisks good?
most of the newer weaponry are fairly gimicky because combat isn't really a ... big part of the game

Not so much but I don’t think exploding it near hub is good idea
white dawn
Eh, the radiation dissipates before too long, and theoretically you've got Iodine filters onhand anyway. :)
white dawn
It can destroy objects?
No more than regular nobelisks, but if a regular nobelisk can destroy a tree, so can a nuke nobelisk
Just a bigger radius, I think increased damage, and a more impressive looking visual effect
And some lingering radiation which goes away after a bit
rustic crest
More aura farm for pioneers

Personally I tend to avoid unwanted deforestation so I rarely if ever use the nuke nobs myself. Other folks enjoy 'em just for the extra booms, though
(And of course many (dare I say most?) Pioneers aren't as careful about foliage destruction as I am. :)
I don't even use regular nobs (or explosive rebar) for combat; they're more of a rock-clearing utility for me

Strange ... yes there are bugs ... but this one? : I had my recently purchased boom box in my hand. After a while I noticed I only occasionally heard the boombox music, but the standard music. I eventually located at a point where I had climbed a ladder, boom box in hand, a little jump to get off on top. Switched to Hover. At least that is my recollection. But where is the boombox hiding?! I may have fumbled with the keyboard, so I "threw" the boombox somewhere. It's not in my inventory.

Alright realized a massive mega base of every item is a bit much, especially for CPU and GPU, but realized that a nice city with a central road, some side roads, and a metro system might be nice, so we have a massive hub tower that I might dress up like a villian tower while the rest of the town is skyscrapers to produce items and deal with things.
Also planning an underground walkway system because I enjoy those kind of cramped back scenes places that have logistics. Perfect place to run pipes and power.
