The paragraph is even marked as important in bold and red so I'm definitely not retyping it here.
I did read the first post multiple times. Both before installing this a few days ago and now that I'm experiencing the problem.
Unless I've gone blind and can't see what you're referring to, I assume you're referring to this:
Important:
You are allowed to connect the Module Complex to the hub but if you do so, it's very likely that the hub will be destroyed the next time you run the crunch command. Your decision.
The factory modules ( =real producing factories) are the ones you are supposed to connect.
as it is the only thing in the first post that I can find that relates to what has happened. However, I am not trying (or did so before the first build) to connect a hub to the Module complex. I'm simply running the crunch command in a sector with two stand alone silicon L's and the existing fully constructed module complex that is working fine. When I do, the exisiting complex comes apart. It doesn't matter if I select the module complex, the stand alone Silicon Facts or an empty spot of space on the map.
I'm using the exact same method that I used to add a new Gamma PPC forge to an existing Module Complex not 2 hours ago where I experienced no problems with it just assimilating into the Complex. When I ran the second crunch command there the module complex stayed intact with all module hubs remaining a part of the complex and I just had to use kits to connect the new hubs to the complex.
Either I'm doing something wrong that I can't see or the specific setup I have is causing it to break apart.
The multiple messages are... a feature.
There is a small variation in compression factor, depending on the number/kind/size of factories and the order they are compressed in.
The consecutive runs ensure maximum compression without requiring me to script more layers of recursion.
And -3 + 5 + 0 = 2 so that's 2 fewer factories. =)
I understand that, I was just pointing it out as a possible clue to what made the whole thing fall apart.
