Questions about Optimizers and Fuses

[Fummelwilli]

Hi there!

I noticed some strange kind of behavior with the new optimizers, which I do not think is intend.

I keep all my nuclear generators in one place (for performance reasons) in a 5 or 6 story tower, which looks about like this:

So after I noticed, that optimizers seem to boost only 8 machines, I decided to add 5 of them per floor, looking like this:

Strangely however, when I walk near the optimizers and aim at them, all optimizers on that floor highlight the very same 8 machines (maybe only 1 or 2 exceptions). Then I decided to build a test station far away and in fact, it is true, the optimizers can boost a machine past 450%.

Is this intended since it pretty much renders any kind of pulsar production unnecessary?

There is however another problem associated with this. I also keep most of my ressource gathering in one place, like so:

Since the optimizer only boosts the nearest 8 machines, setting this up accordingly would become a total nightmare. So will there be any QoL features, that would make it less tiresime?

Also things I haven't found out so far: Is there a way to boost grow speed of outdoor farms (running out of shrooms for plastic)? And is there a way to boost autocrafter production speed?

Thanks in advance :)

you can definitively stack optimizers to get a high percent on the same machines.
here's one of mine at over 300000%

I ended up using it to my advantage by putting foundations above a group of crammed up tree spreaders then cramming optimizers on top.

I was trying to figure what was going on , set up a bunch of generators in range of Optimizer but some of them still only put out the same amount of power , the others went from 3** to 499 or something similar , did not know there was a limit per Optimizer , thanks for pointing it out , now will separate generators and have 2 or 3 Optimizers instead .

I just tried this , 1 Optimizer does only 5 generators .

I would definitely much rather have the optimizers machine count increase instead of the percentage it increased relevant to the amount of fuses installed. I keep all my reactors (36 of them) on one platform. I am not building 1 optimizer for every 8 reactors. It would ruin the look. The optimizers have a 75 meter range and one could hit all my reactors. Let the amount of machines they can optimize increase a bit for each installed fuse. If they do both, that's even better. Increase the percentage AND the amount of machines. But if I had to pick, I'd go for count.

I am using T2 ones, hence the 8.
