FicZip Manufacturing Dupe
Hello, I noticed I can dupe items with 2 packing machines and a somersloop in each.
I am not sure if this is intentional, but I could make 50 nuclear fuel rods, throw them in 1 packer to make 2 packed nuclear fuel rods, take those 2, unpack into 200 nuclear fuel rods, split the output so 100 go back into the first machine (now making 4 packed nuclear fuel rods), while the other 100 go into power production.
I know this relies heavily on the max number of somersloops available in game, but it can easily wipe out entire factories and turning the entire game into how many end game item duplicators can I make?
My suggestion? Remove somersloop capability from packing machines. It quite literally gives a x4 dupe and infinte resources anywhere on the map.

Hmmm, thats a good point! Im releasing a new version with that change Skel! Thanks!
What approach did you use to fix it? I assume turning off somersloops for the building if it's custom, or moving the recipe to the Packager?
It uses a custom machine called "Packing Machine" Robb. I just uncheck this box for the machine.

Thanks, good to know. if there was another way I wanted to know about it, haha
