Jonathanberger: /* Improve clarity of science pack assembly ratio */

== Production 3 ratio ==
Quoting the page:
<blockquote>
For example, Physical projectile damage 3 requires one automation science pack and one logistic science pack and one military science pack to begin researching, but it needs this to be input into labs a total of '''100''' times, raising the research cost to 100 automation science packs, 100 logistic science packs and 100 military science packs.
</blockquote>

Why 100 times and not 300? Is this an error or should it be fixed?

== Improve clarity of science pack assembly ratio ==

I'd like to make a sentence at the bottom of the page more clear:
<blockquote>
The list above assumes that the science packs are being produced from [[assembling machine 3]], being produced at 75 items per minute without any beacons/modules.
</blockquote>

I'd suggest:
<blockquote>
If using plain [[assembling machine 3]] then packs will be produced at 75 items per minute. However, any of the three assemblers may be used and science production will be kept in sync.
</blockquote>

The clarification is true because multiplying both sides of a ratio by the same number does not change the ratio. In this case, faster or slower crafting speeds don't affect how many assemblers are needed.
