More about resource converters: If I recall it correctly, one resource converter can convert only 1 million resources in one turn. So if you need 1,4 million minerals more per turn that you can mine, you need 2 resource converters to satisfy that need.

Wasn't the workaround to just issue multiple orders to the converter?

No, that was for converting more than 64,000 at a time. IIRC 1.81 made it so that it would show a log of converted resources but then would only convert the first 64,000. That's when repeating the orders were nessesary. 1.91 makes it so that you get a log message for every 64,000 converted but don't need to repeat the orders. I've never tried converting more than 1,000,000 before so I don't know what would happen....

You can convert more than 1,000,000 - you just cannot create more than 1,000,000 by conVersion with a single converter. Due to some strange roundings and/or these weird 64k single-steps, the actual limit when using level 3 facilities is converting 1,365,000 to 955,500.
