Hello,
does the ME formula also apply to the PI materials when building structure components?
If yes will the materialinput decrease (because of rounding) when building more runs?

example:

One Astrahus needs with ME 10 one unit of Structure Construction Parts.
Do ten runs with ME 10 take 9 or 10 units of Structure Construction Parts?

One Structure Construction Parts with ME 10 takes 5 Nano-Factory.
Ten Runs should take 45 Nano-Factories?

Ive been looking on fuzzwork, and even on this site it was pretty confusing and inconsistent. On some Parts the formula applied and on some not.

Snippet from fuzzwork for 10 Runs Astrahus:



Material------------------------------Initial Quantity per run    ------Reduced Quantity------Job Quantity    
M Structure Market Network-----------4----------------------------------3.60--------------------------36    
M Structure Construction Parts-------1----------------------------------0.90--------------------------10

Hope somebody is able to help me

10 parts, no matter how many runs. This is due to the formula (have a look at this pdf):

required = max(runs, ceil(round(runs ∗ baseQuantity ∗ materialModifier, 2))

If a quantity of one material is needed for a single run, this number cannot be further reduced and is practically not influenced by ME, which makes sense, especially with T2 production (imagine you would need only 9 Freighters to build 10 Jump Freighters).

Yes, 45... Base quantity is 5, with ME 10 it would be 4.5 (which is rounded up for 1 run). So with 10 runs, you have an even 45. This is where the formula is actually working, since the base quantity is higher than 1 unit per run.

Basic rule of thumb:
1 unit per run -> no rounding down, no matter how many runs you have.
2 or more units -> quantity affected by ME and (due to rounding) the number of runs.
