Why some materials are not reduced by ME

[Kocur4d_Zeus]

When I run 1500 runs of Tesseract Capacitor Unit on the structure without any prod bonusses and with 0ME I get this:

When I set it to 10ME this:

So basically Nanotransistors haven’t been affected by the reduction. Why?

Because the reduction via ME is not applied to a material that consumes a single unit for a single run, in this case the Nanotransistors. I don’t know/remember if it has always been this way, but that’s currently the case.

Thank you. I didn’t know. I was hoping this was a bug.
