Matrix solver with subfactories
Suggestion
Currently, I cannot enable the matrix solver if two subfactories share a common recipe. However, it is quite common for me to place two simple recipes like iron gears into several subfactories, meaning, I want to know exactly how many machines I need per subfactory, not for the entire factory, as I usually don't put things like iron gears or copper wire on the bus. It is however extremely annoying that that means I cannot use the matrix solver.
I therefore have two suggestions:
- Allow the user to specify that recipes in a subfactory only count towards the required amount of that particular subfactory, not the overal factory
- Allow to enable the matrix solver only on certain (sub)factories, treating their subfactories as standalone recipes with fixed inputs/outputs, that way I can use the traditional solver for some floors and the matrix solver for other floors.
Also it would help a lot if I could tell an entire factory to produce ingredients for a set of other factories, but I could imagine that that might be harder to implement.
