The point is that every mistake propagated over 10 reactors has to be fixed 10 times. If you have a single reactor, you just fix it once.

- imtringued 7y agoThat's a massive benefit. That means there 10 opportunities to optimize the process.
- klyrs 7y agoThe point is rather short sighted: after fixing the production line issue, you make another 100 and recoup the expense of those first 10.
- imtringued 7y agoYou can also just decide to get rid of the first 10 and never repair them because it's cheaper to build 10 new ones.
- resonantjacket5 7y agoIt also means each time you create a new reactor, you never learn from past mistakes. Thinking that mass production causes more mistakes makes no sense when you actually think about it. Cars/guns/airplanes/even furniture all benefit from mass production to keep costs and mistakes down. There's no reason why reactors would be magically exempt from it.
