Thermal Generator power production inconsistencies

Describe the bug
Thermal Generator (Haven't tested others extensively) has some strange behavior. Seems to be outputting incorrect power.
Tried smelting titanium in a blast furnace. the internal power drained completely in a couple of seconds and although the thermal generator reports only draining 112 E/t (as does the furnace) the generator is completely drained and struggling to keep up.
The item desc says it only draws 128 E/t which is exactly what the thermal generator produces so there must be something going on in the background here.
Steps to Reproduce
- Tank of lava feeding to thermal generator above.
- Thermal generator hooked up to blast furnace indirectly via copper cables.
- put something to smelt in the blast furnace.
Environment (please complete the following information with the version):
- Minecraft: 1.18.1
- Mod Loader: fabric
- Mod version: 5.1.0 beta 4
Logs
latest log
It only creates 16 E/t from Lava, so when used alone to power a blast furnace it will drain very quickly around 7mins if it is still supplied with lava.
So 128 - 16 = 112 as you reported.
Generator info on wiki : https://wiki.techreborn.ovh/doku.php?id=energy:generators
Config exists in config\techreborn\generators.json where you can change the default values
I made a long post on the Gen's as they arent great imo, and its far too easy to spam solar panels instead.

As an addendum - I've just noticed the normal coal generator (when hooked up to the same system as mentioned) says it can produce 32 E/t but the energy change value us -54 E/t and both generators remain completely drained while the furnace remains starved of energy and turning on for a pulse every other second or so
Cannot believe I missed that.
Yeah that seems really low considering the lack of fluid pumps to automate the lava process (at least that I've found).
Thanks for the swift response and the config tips!
