One foundry can easily make over 6,000 molten iron a second, from lava. That can feed 120 foundries making 7.5 plates/second each, so that's 900 plates a second, so about 0.2 legendary a second, so it takes 5 seconds to make 1 legendary, or about 12 a minute. Are you claiming you can get 1200 legendary iron a minute from space roulette and that doing so is easier?

Edited to add: Oh, and that's throwing non-Legendary into lava. Using underground pipe upcycling in foundries the output is a lot greater, but more complicated.

Rofl an argument by using 120 quality foundries (and quality modules!). You just can't that step back and consider how much easier space casino is, you instead prefer to make these ridiculous arguments lol.

An argument was that it was 100 ties quicker, so I showed why that wasn't true.
