Super Computer values
I am about to set up a system to make super computers, but I question the values that go into it. I am using google sheets to separate and calculate what I need. The numbers are so fractioned, I question what the developers were thinking on this one. Most of my builds have clean numbers, but super computers are making me scratching my head wondering if I got the math wrong. I usually check my numbers to https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ and I am right all the time with previous builds of stuff. But not with super computers. I get different values, not by much, but I question if my or their math is wrong.

Here are my totals for what i need to make 1x super computers (1.88 per minute, like wtf?) The values are based on what I need per minute.

Copper Ingot 298.214
Copper Sheet 104.852
Plastic 292.204
Wire 177.02
Cable 88.51
hsconnector 5.625
caterium ingot 77.171
quickwire 385.855
iron ingot 48.75
screws 195.0
circuit boards 43.051
computers 3.75
ai limiters 3.75
super computers 1.88

The only alternative recipe I am using is the casted screws, which I also put into the website for calculations. Yet their numbers are different.

300.8 units/min of Copper Ingot
105.28 units/min of Copper Sheet
293.28 units/min of Plastic
180.48 units/min of Wire
90.24 units/min of Cable
5.64 units/min of High-Speed Connector
78.208 units/min of Caterium Ingot
391.04 units/min of Quickwire
48.88 units/min of Iron Ingot
195.52 units/min of Screw
43.24 units/min of Circuit Board
3.76 units/min of Computer
3.76 units/min of A.I. Limiter
1.88 units/min of Supercomputer

I am going to assume my numbers are correct, because I double checked the values on the equipment in game. I guess my point in this post is, that devs need to take a look at this and rethink the values for what is needed for super computers.

Edit: I don't think I want to deal with this mess and so I bought some super computers from the shop. I got a nice system of modular engines (5x), and lots of plastic feeding a Awesome Sink.

There's a good chance that Satisfactory Calculator isn't 100% correct at all times especially when alternative recipes are involved somewhere along the massive chain of things. All the automated formulae gotta start from manual calculations at some point. If you're confident enough in your own results, you can always contact the site owner to clarify.

Having that said, Update 4 is probably coming along in the next weeks. While the primary focus is changing tier 7+ productions, I'm guessing the lower tiers will be affected also one way or another. May as well wait just a bit longer at this point.

next update will cause enough changes that any interconnected manufacturing processes will need a lot of change. a slight pull on plastic could effect 5 other production lines which would then have their own possible ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to work out. just make sure you have over-production capacity on everything, meaning extra machines and space. all the way from ingot production. but even then, you get headaches.
supercomputers aren't really important right now until quantum computer production or anything needing the supercomps is introduced. right now, i'm just filling bins full of super computers because if I don't produce them, plastic get's built up then other systems shut down as well.
and the only time i've ever resorted to maths is for the aluminium ensemble. but this whole process will get big changes soon.

wait till you see the mess that turbo motors are.

and boy, am I looking forward to restructuring it all with the next update.

Look like accumulating rounding errors. The actual production rate of super computers is 1.875. If you tell SC to produce 1.88, you have a slight overproduction, which can be seen in computers going from 3.75 to 3.76.

I suppose I could make a system for super computers, but I would have to round up to the next whole number to get 100% efficiency. Currently, I have a computer set up I haven't torn down yet. The calculations for making computers were clean; why super computers are a fractional mess?
