I agree, I just got into silver farm and it is a lot of repetitive work/fuel farming and it does not seem worth the trouble at this point, even to farm other dusts is a bit hard with the machines plugging

how do the machines clog up faster? the production rate wasn't slowed, just the chances of silver being produced was lowered, which made other dusts produce more, so it would fill up at exactly the same rate or roughly the same

i was just unlucky with the cloging

it was cloging up every 5 seconds

We need to find a new balance for silver with the charcoal and fuel buffs taken into account. Clearly this silver dust generation rate might be too low, although I don't see us going back to the original rate either. Probably somewhere in between.

maybe we can find a medium between turning charcoal/fuel buff back a little and turning back silver?

yes the charcoal and fuel buffs i didnt mention that yet with that in mind the silver nerf might be a gud thing buff silver a bit but not to its originial state like u said

I think it would be interesting to see the electric dust washers have an increased number of output slots so that it doesn't jam, but for silver rates to remain the same as they currently are. That way value per gravel and per joule remains the same, but it becomes more streamlined and less time consuming

or we could connect chests to it so that there won't be clogging

What wheel stated about more output slots is also a good thing i also remember someone making a suggestion about input and output slots to be on 2 different rows so items can be added/removed much more easily i still think silver should be buffed a bit not to original ofcourse

And lighteye adding chests to every machine wouldnt really help for people with huge setups

^good to see my suggestion hasnt been forgotten

like a 5% buff to the current silver output would be a good balance if fuel and oil got nerfed slightly
