So, let's talk about what changes in production lines there were, and we'll take it from there.
But no specific recipes or numbers just yet, just an overview of what's changing.
So, the production line of bauxite refinement into aluminium ingots has changed.
This will affect alumina solutions, aluminium scrap, and alum... aluminium... and aluminium ingots.
Nailed it, first try.
Now, so I've got a little note here from Mark.
I could have like paraphrased it and, you know, turned his homework into my own, just changed it a little bit, but I think it's just much better that I read it straight from him.
So this is from Director Mark.
The main challenge here was intended to be the back merging of the water byproduct and a longer production line using a variety of different resources.
However, we feel the setup has gotten out of hand for the start of the new phase, which is supposed to be interesting or just different and not necessarily complex.
Also, we're still looking into reducing the number of refineries outside of oil production and alternative recipes, and box-out refinement uses a lot.
So this will impact aluminium-alclad sheets and heat sinks.
The next thing that's been affected is a turbo motor production line.
So the thing with turbo motors is that it's an incredibly complex part and that's good.
We really like that.
However, that sort of just means it doesn't work for tier seven anymore.
So we're going to promote that up to tier eight.
As I was saying before, or as Mark said, rather, tier seven is supposed to be sort of this new phase that's supposed to be more different rather than complex.
So turbo motors would fit better into tier eight than tier seven.
So that's moving.
Supercomputers and radio control units are going to be getting a bit of a change as well.
So even though these parts are unlocked in the MAM, they're still considered late-game parts and so they're gonna have to be adjusted to fit the new additions and changes in tier 7 and 8.
The nuclear fuel rod production line has also undergone a bit of a change.
We're adding a new building.
to update for, I'm not going to say what it is just yet, but we felt that this production line could benefit from using that building.
So all parts that are introduced with the nuclear fuel rods are going to be affected by this.
And there will also be another production line related to the nuclear fuel rods in tier eight.
So you can look forward to that.
So there's also been a change to the battery production line.
So batteries will have its own spot now in progression and will have some very unique use cases as well.
It will also require the new building that I alluded to before.
So batteries are going to get a bit of a change.
So there are a couple of small other things that I might as well just throw into this video.
