The newish machine that converts ore to bars in mining (I forget the name, Nano-something) does this. Standard reclaimers do as well.
Rods/floor tiles would be a nice addition (divide amount by 2/4, respectively). I'm assuming by glasses you mean the ones you make in the Nano-fabricator?
It would have to be 20/40 considering you can make 10 sheets with one bar at a general manufacturer. Unless the manufacturers are changed to use an entire bar per sheet.
The old reclaimers actually require these amounts
The problem's simply because of the mismatch in costs between the two different types.
In either case, while I've enjoyed abusing the heck out of the infinite materials "feature" it needs to go. Whether that means adjusting manufacturer costs (so that 1 bar => 1 sheet) or adjusting Nano-fabricator costs (so that 1 bar => 10 sheets, and 10 sheets => 1 bar for the Nano-whatever-the-thing-that-makes-bars-from-ores-is), I don't really care. The latter is definitely the easier task, but would make using manufacturers for making sheets redundant (the Nano-fabricator makes them instantly).
Heck, let's change things up here:
- Manufacturers: 1 bar => 10 "material" => 10 sheets (1 "material" per sheet)
- Reclaimers: 10 sheets => 1 bar, 20 rods => 1 bar, 40 floor tiles => 1 bar
- Nano-make-ore-into-bars-thinger-seriously-what-is-this-called: 10 sheets => 1 bar, 20 rods => 1 bar, 40 floor tiles => 1 bar
- Nano-fabricator: 1 bar => 5 sheets (increased from 1 bar => 1 sheet currently, better but is less efficient than using manufacturers at the expense of it being instant, and with change to the Nano-whatever is now a lossy process)
Idea: add the idea of "chunks" that are 1/10th of a bar. Nuggets (or stacks thereof) can be inserted into manufacturers, for 1 "material" each. You can eject fractions of bars from manufacturers now in the form of nuggets. Stacks of nuggets can be inserted into reclaimers/Nano-make-bars-from-ores to spit out bars (rounding down, so get your stacks nice numbers). Nuggets cannot be inserted into Nanofabricators.
