Compact Machines
A mod that adds x10/x100 and x4/x16/x40 versions of all base game Producers and Generators, based on Minimal Factory
Description
<i> Inspired by <a href="https://ficsit.app/mod/MinimalFactory" >[Minimal Factory]</a>, We have recreated the mod for U6+ with no dependencies. Save your FPS and a headache by turning that assembly line of one hundred smelters, to ONE with the output of one hundred.</i>

Features:
`x10, x100` <span style="color:#FFA500;"> versions of vanilla machines. </span>`x4, x16, x40` <span style="color:#FFA500;"> versions of vanilla machines. </span>
<span style="color:#FFA500;"> Multiplayer compatible </span>
<span style="color:#FFA500;"> Compressed liquids for Generator outputs to accommodate pipe throughput limits. </span>
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use Th3Fanbus's Recipe mod <a href="https://ficsit.app/mod/Th3RecipeMod" >[Th3RecipeMod]</a> in conjunction with CM. This will make your production chains slightly more complicated, but it is currently the best way to get around throughput limits. Just be careful when looking for Compressed Liquids from CM as opposed to from Th3's mod for use in generators.

How It Works:
As new machines are unlocked in game, 2 new schematics become available to unlock.<span style="color:#FFA500;"> One unlocks the </span> `x10 and x100` <span style="color:#FFA500;"> versions of the vanilla machines. </span>
<span style="color:#FFA500;"> One unlocks the </span> `x4, x16, and x40` <span style="color:#FFA500;"> versions of the vanilla machines. </span>
They can be unlocked independently from each other. If you find your build menu a bit cluttered by the unlocks we recommend <a href="https://ficsit.app/mod/BuildMenu
" >[Build Menu Organizer]</a> which has options to configure your menus to your liking.

###
<span style="color:#FF0000;"> Known problems: </span>
Currently, all recipes have an additional number in parenthesis listed next to them, which is an additional multiplication of whatever the machine's multiplication already is. This is a 1.0+ issue and currently we do not know how to fix it, but it's purely visual and we would advise you to simply ignore the number in parenthesis.
Coal and Nuclear generators do not display any Compressed Water in their UI, even though there is compressed water inside. Does not effect their production.
Chance of small math error in startup and cooldown times of machines; Does not appear to affect gameplay. <span style="color:#ddee00;"> [Low Priority] </span>
###
<span style="color:#009EE3;"> Potential Updates: </span>
Liquid Compressor - Compress liquids to accommodate more than `6m`<sup>3</sup> of compressed liquid per production cycle of machines.* Edit some recipes for Refinery and Blender to accommodate higher throughput of compressed liquid versions of recipes. <br>[Most recipes will work fine with the `x4, x10` versions of recipes.]

How to Install Compact Machines on Your Server
Order Satisfactory Server
Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 3 players.

Frequently Asked Questions
Compact Machines not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Compact Machines has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Compact Machines causing crashes in multiplayer – solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Compact Machines v1.5.11 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Compact Machines compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Compact Machines uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
