So, I was just settling in to starting the FICSMAS Factory, after dismantling the old one, and I noticed this, while setting up some temporary storage for all the FICSMAS materials I brought over: I’m inexplicably out of Wire.

This crate here feeds into the Dimensional Depot, and should be full.

Looking a little more closely, I notice here that my Copper Ingot smelters are not running at 100% efficiency, confirming that I just somehow screwed up the numbers. Apparently for the past month or so since I built this factory, I’ve just been running on nothing but my existing backlog of Wire in the aforementioned crate.

This here is the culprit: This is 1 of 8 Wire Constructors that should be clocked at 42.8571%. Instead, they’re all at 16.7946%. They’re off by a factor of 2.55, which is especially bizarre. I could understand if it was a factor of like 2 or 4.

Easily corrected, but it’ll take a while for the system to re-prime to the new numbers, and start producing Wire.

In the meantime, the other thing I noticed is that I’m not going to have enough Mercer Spheres to build all the FICSMAS stuff into the Dimensional Depot.

So, while the Wire factory corrects itself, I’m gonna go Mercer hunting.

Pretty solid haul, for a 3-hour-or-so trip.

Also, Wire is back in business.
