Arrastra Bug with Module Upgrades

[Alex]

Without any Module Upgrade, 2 Crushed Iron Ore takes 12 Iron Ore Blocks with a time of 1m 30s.

A Basic Upgrade 4 states a 40% resource cost decrease and a 40% craft time decrease.

Adding in a Basic Upgrade 4 Module into the Arrastra decreases the time to 50s, but it does not decrease the resource cost as it still takes 12 Iron Ore Blocks.

I tried to add in 100 order's as a test, and the module upgrade still does not take into affect as it requires 1200 Iron Ore Blocks.

I forgot to mention, it works as intended on the Rocker Box, just not the Arrastra.

Seems like it's also the case in other tables. Putting the Module Upgrade 4 inside the Campfire, it affects some recipes but not others such as Charred Meat and Charred Mortar.

The basic mining upgrade module doesn't work either, though it does with the rocker box. I'm assuming this is a bug, hopefully they'll put out a small patch for it soon.

Modules do not reduce the resource cost on the mining devices, as upgrading the mining devices itself does. It's noted by a yellow border around those recipes and working as intended. I'll make sure this gets explained better in 9.1.

Ah, I totally missed that yellow outline/message on the ore recipe. Thank you for the clarification :)

Keep up the good work, I'm really enjoying this update!

So does that mean the rocker box is bugged because the upgrade actually DOES reduce the resource cost for it?

No, not on the campfire, at least to my knowledge. Don't know about the Arrastra as i haven't tried that yet.

Its not a bug, its working as intended for balancing purposes. Multiple recipes resources cost aren't affected, denoted by a yellow outline around the recipe.
These include the crushing stone recipes(at all level)
Early charred food recipes
As well as a few other random recipes here and there.

I've always figured modules as being like getting better tools for your table. Having a better knife for example on your campfire would allow you to better cut vegetables to craft salads, but it would do anything if all you're doing is throwing a tomato on the fire.
Same for the arrastra and stamp mill. You input X stone and get Y crushed stone out, there wouldn't be a tool to get "more" of a crushed material unless you swapped out the machine itself. Meanwhile, the rocker box could be equipped with a better sieve to get more concentrate(or well, lose less of it)
A better knife on the butchery table would certainly mean better meat cuts as well, meaning less waste, or better sized portions.
