Modpack version:

2.7.0

Describe the request:

The Ultimate Compressor in its current state does not seem to work as intended. The 12 advanced compressors needed for the machine, when run in parallel, produce 5.5~ as fast as the Ultimate Compressor itself.

Reasons why this should be changed:

There is currently no reason to make this Modular Machine.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

• Lower the cost in terms of machines. This is not ideal as you're gonna want them anyways.
• Have it able to run multiple recipes at once. This could make it competitive though Im not sure if feasible.

Additional context:

The quest description seems to imply the machine can run multiple recipes at once (the second alternative) but this just isn't true. I tested automating both setups (12 vs 1) and 12 was both easy and produced more.

Also, if it wasn't clear from this post and idly didn't come tell you, yes you can automate the compressor.
I believe that's the reason for the ultimate compressor existing, but you can just automate the compressor. All the tiers of it, even.

The Ultimate Compressor is now 10x faster and crafts items 4 at a time in 2.8.0: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/divine-journey-2/files/3493170 So overall it should craft items 40x faster.
