This is because the machine is in Parts Per Minute mode by default. So setting a limit of 60 parts per minute still produced 60 regardless of what the purity is set to. Toggle off parts per minute in the right click menu to show the number of machines. This will cause the the number of parts outputted to change when the purity changes. This is changed and is currently up on the test branch so that when you change the clock speed, node purity, or machine MK while in Parts Per Minute mode, it will change the entered max to reflect what most people are probably looking for.

Understood. But what is the meaning of the numbers when not in ppm mode? That is rather confusing.

That is the number of machines needed. That number calculated is the main point of the modeler so that you know how many you need to build.

Sorry, I was very unspecific which number I meant: The number on the link itself:
Personally, I like the actual numbers more but was confused with the purity settings.
Anyway, how do I close the “issue”? I am unfamiliar with featurebase
