Any... you know... cons?
ISn't it too OP?

[henryheyhey123]

substantial power consumption for one. Each one takes 900w and I also plan to balance it further by requiring research for some of the resources.

[Bodog999]

Finally a duplicator now I can dupe my silver for my shields also does this dupe AI cores?

[bobucles]

900W is NOT substantial. That is barely a solar panel's worth if you turn it off at night.

No, but it may be implemented eventually.

[Iwillbenicetou]

I mean if you do want to be OP, change power consumption to 1.

[BetaSpectre]

Honestly I like the mod, it plays rather nice, at least on paper I haven't tried it yet.

900 power may not be a HUGE amount like the 100,000 from that other mod, but 900 power turning into 1 of another item wouldn't be OP.

Unless it makes 75 of them, then I would like to see a version need 2500-5000 power.

The time it takes to Duplicate is also important to consider.

I don't know whether I should just crank up the power needs or make it so that each recipe needs a research project. I'll definitely increase the work time though. Maybe to that of refining slag chunks or is that too long?

I feel the work times should be tied to how 'important' or hard to come by the duplicated object is
like Medkits / meals / AI cores should take ages
for just base items like potatoes they're easier to grow yourself
even metal is really fast to mine

I really like the idea of this for stuffs like Agaves on the forest region
where it doesn't grow by itself, so if you happen to get that supply drop of them
this mod would be just mwah

and the 900 power usage is okay if the crafting times get really high
cause if you want to mass produce something the 900 requirement stacking up for each bench starts to feel at that point

but in short, yeah long crafting times would balance this just fine in my opinion

[Bodog999]

Yay AI cores dupe now I can build my MAI's

[Username 9000]

I was feeling this was way too op after spending a base with it, so I changed the power requirement to 40,000 watts   . Feels much more of a challenge to spend a few days charging the batteries to get a few stacks of free metal.

Note that the research says highly efficient. I'm basically using that as an excuse to have the power consumption fairly low

[Bodog999]

I've modded the mod a little bit and I'm able to dupe stone blocks now! Now I just need to try to be able to dupe strawberries, agaves, missles, shells and uranium.

Yeah... I've already done that for the 1.3 update. Coming out Sunday btw!
