@nex said in 86% mass discount:
@black_wriggler I'm not saying you are wrong or that it's a remotely smart idea to make units just to reclaim them. I'm just saying, that your statement
@nex said in 86% mass discount:
it is not true that assisting the factory will reduce the adjacency
depends on your view on the gains of adjacency (per unit/per time) and is misleading in the context of this thread.
Actually it is clarifying, since the headline number number "86% discount" is misleading itself - 86% of what?
If the percentage discount is reduced, but it is a smaller percentage of a bigger production number, then overall mass balance is the same
Edit - in this particular case i forgot again about the mass loss from the wreck, because of this any additional mass you put in from assistance will not be reclaimed in full, so the efficiency will be less
