how do you how do you like measure complexity in that sense do you think like in terms of permutations on like when things can ramp off in like the if you see it of like a tree of paths you can take to reach each like result or how do you how do you when you say complicate like complex yeah how do you how do you measure that, that's kind of the hard part, that kind of has to do with what I said before about like setting a vision for a recipe and what the challenge is supposed to be right, so if this challenge is supposed to be purely based on the ratios being just annoying, then we just have to look at like what is going in and kind of skew that around right so if one recipe is making 30 per minute and I need that then I will take an amount that that other recipe requires per minute that doesn't match up with 30 at all and the more that disaligned so I tend to note down actually the ratios it's like three to eight one to two all that stuff right that you would need to get a clean setup to put everything running at a hundred percent that gives me a good baseline to see how messed up, the ratios generally are yeah but then of course all the other stuff comes in with like okay how many different types of raw rasas do you need for this how many what is the complexity of the part going into this other part and how many do I need of that and then what is the ratio of that and what makes that then what does that create with the ratio of this other part going into the the requirements and yeah cool so it's like how how many steps you need to take in order to reach a certain like to to get an even ratio of, of, production I guess yeah right yeah I tend to look from 100 deficient without having to clock perspective yeah gotcha and then people are cheating he's like I just over like I do this whenever I'm setting up a line and I see like one machine and I'm not going like I'm just gonna overclock this a little bit and then but I think that's fine and that's kind of why it's there as well because sometimes she just wants something that doesn't really work that way so either you try to just figure that out and make like a bigger setup than you actually need or you just underclock it a little bit here and there and it works out as well gotcha
