Rebalancing Gas-Burning Generator + Melon Combo
ngoetti opened this issue ยท 8 comments
Issue description
The gas-burning generator is easy to build even in the early game and provides so much energy that it outperforms all the start to midgame generators. This is especially true considering how easy it is to grow melons, which disincentivizes all other forms of power generation. I think the gas generator should be nerfed/adjusted. If you think otherwise, please close this issue. If not, I would be willing to make the effort to propose a more balanced solution.

I think the default value should be balanced, because the default will get used 90+ % of the time.
@thiakil basically everything except the large multiblock reactors.
The gbg is meant to be the one you use until you get a big reactor. Kinda sounds like it's in the correct spot if it's outperforming the others
@thiakil I don't mind it outperforming the others. I just think it does so way to much. You can burn though stacks of coal and get less energy than 1 melon slice. Which does not seem balanced. (I would have too check the exact numbers, but you get the idea)
It's not just the melon though, you're combining it with a few things before the energy is extracted
@thiakil Yes, I agree, and I think this should be considered. However, I still think it is not in proportion. All the other things that needed are easy to make, even in the early game.
