Would be nice to have 1x1x1 variants which half the power per second of the other variants, which to need a lot more time than the time you would need by dividing the time by the volume in small-blocks of the full-size variants, which to only cost resources found in a survival kit.

And it would be nice to have a 1x1x1 survival kit, too, with the same changes in ratios of energy usage and processing time.

Is this mod still supported?

Also, do the two sizes equate to "basic refinery/assembler" and "advanced refinery/assembler"?

The small assembler doesn't seem to be able to make ammo for turrets. Is it supposed to be this way, or am I just getting some kind of mod conflict?

Great mod, works well and looks good. I always prefer building with small grid and this makes it easier to build full featured ships at a small scale.

I have always liked this mod, as I have liked all the "Medium" block mods. I rarely used them though because of the green letters and lines. I much prefer mods that follow the core aesthetic of the game.

Are these airtight?

I may not even use it but I have a spare thumbs up for you. Shiny!

Still getting a thumbs up from me.

I used this so much back in the day. However it's time to finally part ways.

Great mod. Fairly sure it still works too. Replaced unceremoniously by survival kit.

Would it be possable to make a version of this mod, where the compacts act like basic versions and the smalls act as fulls? In regards to the tech tree I mean.

I think you have a very good Idea here. I feel that if you were to limit some of the things that the small assembler and refinery that it would be more survival friendly, to me it I think that if you were able to create and refine any ore or item it would skip a large part of the starting game in which case some people might like that while others who prefer the challenge of survival not so much, that makes for a hard topic to address. For your reason to have the full interface for building or replacing thrusters in space can be a bit challenging because when playing somebody would have probably accounted for that before leaving the planet etc. But in the end it's all up to the modder and I'm just giving my feedback, I think this is really nice and can have a ton of potential =)

It's for small ships only so I believe they should still be relevant given that the only Vanilla production available on a small ship is the Survivor Kit which is pretty limited.

With the big update and all, maybe a production line somewhere between the Basic Assembler and the full Assembler. If it does everything the full one does or does the same as the Basic one does, it would render this small assembler moot or not needed, except early game.

I was considering limiting the Compact Assembler as well as the Compact Refinery to only certain components or ingots but in the end decided that it can't be only basic stuff because you would need to be able to build at least a Small Assembler and Refinery. Also if you are in space you would need to be able to replace or upgrade ion thrusters and other stuff like that. That meant almost all ingots for the Refinery and at least some more specialized components for the assembler.
In the end I decided it's not worth the hassle to limit just 2-3 items from the list. Also I plan on adding a couple of upgrade modules later on so a Compact whichever of the two could potentially perform at least as well as it's Small variant without upgrades.

You might want to take a peek at -=KptKosmit91=-'s Basic Assembler for ideas on how to limit your compact assembler - that assembler can only build basic components instead of the whole list.
