Create: Diesel Generators

1.20.1-1.3.4, using Kubejs to load datapack and customize gasoline.
This would cause modular engine consume gasoline with working sound effects, but outputs 0 su.
Normal engine works well and output 12288su.

~~I'm trying to look deeper into it, will update if I find anything new.~~
-> modify burn_rate (0.05 -> 2) causes this problem <-

minimum mod set to reproduce:
create-1.20.1-6.0.6.jar
createdieselgenerators-1.20.1-1.3.4.jar
kubejs-forge-2001.6.5-build.16.jar (rhino-forge-2001.2.3-build.10.jar & architectury-9.2.14-forge.jar)

Update5:
burn_rate 1.0 fails, 0.8 works

Update1:
Changing modular engine strength to 12288 won't work.

Update2:
Use datapack directly copied from original mod works well.

Update3:
Only modify strength works (6144 -> 12288)

  "fluid": "#forge:gasoline",
  "sound_pitch": 1,

    "speed": 96.0,

    "strength": 12288.0,
    "burn_rate": 0.05
  },
  "burner_multiplier": 1.1
}

Update4:
Only modify burn_rate fails (0.05 -> 2)

{
  "fluid": "#forge:gasoline",
  "sound_pitch": 1,
  "normal": {
    "speed": 96.0,
    "strength": 4096.0,

}

code analysis:
the major code contributed to this issue is here:

Create-Diesel-Generators/src/main/java/com/jesz/createdieselgenerators/content/diesel_engine/modular/ModularDieselEngineBlockEntity.java

Lines 156 to 164 in a7ac6c1

    
           if (enabled()) { 
        
               if (remainingTicks < length + 1) { 
        
                   remainingTicks += length / getFuelBurnRate(); 
        
                   tankInventory.drain(length, IFluidHandler.FluidAction.EXECUTE); 
        
               } 
        
               if (remainingTicks >= 0) 
        
                   remainingTicks -= length; 
        
           }

where length refers to the length of the modular diesel engine.
When the remaining tick is smaller than length, it will consume fuels and refuel remaining ticks. Then remaining tick will be subtracted by length. However, since remaining tick refueled is scaled up (or down) by the burn rate, if the burn rate of the fuel >= 1, remaining ticks refueled will be immediately, fully consumed, making remaining ticks never reach above zero. That's why if a fuel has a burn rate no less than 1 there will be no speed generated.

More code analysis: prior to 1.3.3, the value of burn_rate refers to the amount of fuel to be consumed by diesel engine / modular diesel engine of length 1 every 20 tick. Starting with 1.3.3, burn_rate refers to the amount of fuel to be consumed per tick.

	if (enabled()) {
	if (remainingTicks < length + 1) {
	remainingTicks += length / getFuelBurnRate();
	tankInventory.drain(length, IFluidHandler.FluidAction.EXECUTE);
	}

	if (remainingTicks >= 0)
	remainingTicks -= length;
	}
