Allow players to choose input/output amounts.
At the start of the game I got most of my production lines to go green (efficient). When you upgrade the Assemblers, cutters etc. all of the machines of that type already on the map upgrade immediately thereby messing up the existing production lines. When you upgrade, have a setting inside each machine to let you manually adjust the input/output. Not the ratios. So, if you've just upgraded the Assemblers, you can click on the assembler and flip the switch from 15+15 input 15 output to 30+30 input 30 output.

Thomas Giles (tapgiles)I do get where you're coming from. But to be fair, this doesn't "mess up" production lines. It only means the building is more efficient, but is being utilised only to its lower-level efficiency. So then it's less efficient. So the only place this "messes anything up" is that efficiency colouring--which doesn't actually affect anything. Your game is still exactly as efficient as it was before. The scale has just changed for those buildings. Which then encourages you to feed them faster or whatever.
